Abstract:

To enhance the utilization of substantial regenerative braking energy generated by electric locomotives and address voltage unbalance issues caused by single-phase traction power supply systems in the grid, this paper proposes a YNd-multiport based railway hybrid energy storage system (YNd-MC-RHESS). The operational principles and modes of the YNd-MC-RHESS are first analyzed. A power optimization control strategy for the multiport converter is then developed with the primary goal of maximizing regenerative braking energy utilization. This strategy integrates nonlinear current control to enhance the converter's response time and improve the energy allocation efficiency within the hybrid storage system. Finally, the proposed control strategy is validated using Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) dynamic simulations under typical operational scenarios, demonstrating its capability to dynamically manage power transfers between different ports and ensure equitable energy allocation and release across various storage media. Experimental results reveal that, following the deployment of the hybrid storage system, the utilization rate of regenerative braking energy reaches 93.67%, thereby achieving efficient use of this valuable energy resource.
