摘要

The results of research aimed at developing digital models for calculating the operating conditions of railway power supply systems (RPSS) using wind power plants (WPP) and solar power plants are presented. The implementation of the models relies on the methods of phase coordinates, which enable a systems, universal, and comprehensive approach. The systems dimension is achieved by considering all the significant properties of a complex RPSS and a supply network. The versatility is ensured by modeling traction networks, power lines, and transformers of various designs. The comprehensiveness lies in the possibility of calculating the normal, emergency, and special operating conditions in the RPSS. The study highlights a variety of applications of the wind turbines: to power the facilities located in regions with unstable energy supply; to enhance the reliability of power supply to the consumer whose disconnection could lead to serious consequences; to supply energy to relatively low-power facilities.
