Nowadays, in metropolitan railroad, DC feeding system is being generally applied. In order to reduce damages of electro-chemical corrosion caused by stray current and leakage current, in DC feeding system, rail is used as negative-polarity return conductor for traction load current. However, it has problem of rail potential increase and there are no adequate measures to prevent it in domestic. In this paper, we presented fundamental theory and related standards about rail potential increase. And then, we analyzed field testing data and simulated a variety of operations by using PSCAD/EMTDC as an analysis program of power system. In addition, voltage control device is suggested to prevent accidents caused by rail potential increase.

Nowadays, in metropolitan railroad, DC feeding system is being generally applied. In order to reduce damage of electro-chemical corrosion caused by stray current and leakage current, in DC feeding system, rail is used as negative-polarity return conductor for traction load current. However, it has problem of rail potential increase and there are no adequate measures to prevent it in domestic. The rise of rail potential leads to damage for human and equipments. To solve the problems, this paper presents fundamental theory and related standards about rail potential increase. And then, we analyzed field testing data and simulated a variety of operations by using PSCAD/EMTDC as an analysis program of power system. In addition, this paper suggests rail potential limit device and addresses how to the device. To verify the effect, simulation of DC feeding system before and after the application of the device is carried out in various cases.

급전시뮬레이션과 함께 수행될 수 있는 '레일 전위 상승 분석을 위한 컴퓨터 알고리즘'이 제안되었다. 본 알고리즘에서 레일전위상승 분석은 2 단계로 진행된다. 첫 단계에서는 급전시스템의 조류해석을 수행하여 차량 및 변전소에서의 인젝션(injection) 전류를 구한다. 두 번째 단계에서는 급전시스템의 등가회로에서 변전소 및 차량을 전류 소스로 대치하고 레일의 대지로의 누설 저항이 삽입된 등가회로를 다시 구성한다. 새로 구성된 등가회로를 해석하여 변전소 및 차량 위치에서의 레일 전위를 구한다. 알고리즘의 타당성을 분석하기 위하여 컴퓨터 프로그램을 작성하여 레일전위상승을 구하였고 동일한 시스템을 대상으로 MatLab 사의 Simulink/SymPowerSystems 소프트웨어를 이용하여 레일전위를 구하였다. 2가지 방법에 의한 결과를 상호 비교 분석한 결과는 그 오차가 허용범위 내에 있음을 보여주었다. 본 알고리즘은 급전시뮬레이션과 연동하여 수행될 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다.

We have analyzed influence of potential rise in negative bus, which caused by decrease of power feeding line insulation, upon protecting method of DC ground protection device which detecting potential rise between negative bus and ground in order to detect ground fault in the rubber wheel system. For this purpose, we proposed negative potential equation between negative bus and ground and calculated negative potential according to system condition changes by estimating power feeding line insulation changes in steel wheel system and rubber wheel system, and equalizing DC power feeding system when ground fault occurred. Also, in order to estimate negative potential of real system, we modeled the rubber wheel system, and simulated normal status, grounding fault occurrence and power feeding line insulation changes. In normal status, negative potential did not rise significantly regardless of vehicle operation. When ground fault occurred, negative potential rose up over 300V regardless of fault resistance. However, we also observed that negative potential rose when power feeding line insulation dropped down under $1M{\Omega}$. In conclusion, our result shows that in case of rubber wheel system unlike steel wheel system, relay will be prevented maloperation and insulation status observation can be ensured when ground over voltage relay will be set 200V ~ 300V.

To study the rail mapped deformation caused by the pier settlement of simply - supported bridges with China Railway Track System III (CRTS III) slab ballastless track (SBT) system under the mode of non-longitudinal connection ballastless track slab, this study derived an analytical solution to the mapped relationships between pier settlement and rail deformation based on the interlayer interaction mechanism of rail-pier and principle of stationary potential energy. The analytical calculation results were compared with the numerical results obtained by ANSYS finite element calculation, thus verifying the accuracy of analytical method. A parameter analysis was conducted on the key factors in rail mapped deformation such as pier settlement, fastener stiffness, and self-compacting concrete (SCC) stiffness of filling layer. The results indicate that rail deformation is approximately proportional to pier settlement. The smaller the fastener stiffness, the smoother the rail deformation curve and the longer the rail deformation area is. With the increase in the stiffness of SCC filling layer, the maximum positive deformation of rail gradually decreases, and the maximum negative deformation gradually increases. The deformation of rail caused by the pier settlement of common-span bridge structures will generate low-frequency excitation on high-speed trains.

본 논문은 직류 전기철도 급전시스템에서 레일전위와 누설전류의 분석 기법을 제시하였다. 일반적으로 직류 전기철도 급전시스템에서는 운행용 레일을 귀로 전류(부극성)의 도체로 사용하고 있으므로 레일전위가 발생하고, 특히 차량 운행용 레일과 대지사이의 저항이 작은 경우에는 대지로 흐르는 누설전류가 문제가 된다. 이 레일전위 및 누설전류는 레일 주변에 설치된 지하 매설물에 영향을 미치며, 인체의 안전과도 관련이 있다. 이에 따라 직류 전기철도 급전시스템에서 레일전위와 누설전류를 억제하는 것은 전기철도 주변 환경 및 안전 측면에서 중요한 문제이다. 이상과 같은 관점에서, 직류 전기철도 급전시스템에 대하여 단독급전 및 병렬급전 상황에서 레일전위와 누설전류를 계산할 수 있는 알고리즘을 제안하였으며, 또한 열차주행시뮬레이션(TPS)과 연동하여 열차주행에 따라 부하전류가 변동되는 상황에서 레일전위와 누설전류를 정량적으로 분석할 수 있도록 하였다. 제안한 알고리즘을 이용하여 시뮬레이션 프로그램을 개발하였고, 직류전기철도 급전시스템에 대하여 사례 연구를 수행하였다.

In DC electric railways, while an electric rail car is driving, a part of the working current returned to the substation through rails leaks into the ground. Such a stray current causes railway facilities and metal objects to corrode electrolytically. Therefore, change of stray current needs to be monitored constantly. But so far in domestic, the research on stray current measuring techniques and system adaption are insufficient. To estimate stray current, this paper addresses a method of monitoring the return current that is returned into the negative pole of the substation in real time.

Korean railway has run about 110 years since 1989 and played a great role of industrialization in Korea. It is known that rail transport systems have many advantages of being more safe, energy-efficient, and environment-friendly, as compared to other transportation systems. However, railway incidents are often attributed to the failure of safety management and critical to the efficiency of railroad industry. This study reviewed economic, financial, and general statistical information on Korea Railroad. Based on the statistical data, the effect of accidents on railroad management was analyzed. Correlation analysis revealed that railway accident had a negative effect on the gross profit of Korea Railroad. In order to reduce potential risks and incident rate, some recommendations are proposed. Actual or potential applications of this research include safety guidelines for improving efficiency of railroad industry.
