This study delves into the integration of photovoltaic (PV) and energy storage systems (ESS) into AC railway traction power supply systems (TPSS) with Direct Feed (DF) and Autotransformer (AT) configurations. The aim is to evaluate energy performance, overhead line current distribution, and conductor temperature.
Research showed that photovoltaic energy storage system can effectively improve the stability and reliability of rail transit power supply system, reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions, and achieve green and sustainable development of rail transit system.
Findings reveal improved voltage drops and significant reductions in substation supply power, energy consumption, contact wire current, and temperature. Notably, a 6.5% and 9.6% reduction in supply energy is observed with PV and ESS integration for DF and AT configurations, respectively.
During peak sunlight hours, solar railway installations often produce surplus energy that can be fed back into the main grid, supporting local communities and businesses. The integration process involves sophisticated energy management systems that monitor real-time power generation and consumption.
