Description
DEVICE FOR FEEDING ELECTRIC TRACTION LINE WITH
SUBSTATIONS, BY ELECTRONIC CONTROL OF THE WIRE OVERHEAD LINE VOLTAGE.
The present invention relates to a device for the feeding of D.C. electric traction lines, which comprises, in each group of substations, a circuit for the voltage control, which consists of an entirely controlled three-phase Graetz bridge (thyristors) so as to mantain the voltage at the bus-bars of a substation constant in the time, as well as in predetermined points of the line, independently from the current, which is fed to and absorbed by the electric traction locomotives and by the swinging of the primary feeding voltage.
The problem which is actually present in each electric traction line, for instance, a railway fed by direct current consists in the ensuring that a nearly constant value of the feeding voltage has to be maintained in the interconnection points with the wire overhead line.
The feeding substations, distributed along the railway are able to solve only partially this problem, since, even if they are able to ensure a continuous feeding of the wire line, they do not maintain the feeding voltage at a constant value, which has to be independent from the current absorbed by the trains.
The present invention aims to solve the aforementioned problem, with the provision, in each group of substations, of a feeding stabilizing device providing an electronic control of the feeding voltage by means of three-phase Graetz bridges comprising diode bridges and thyristor bridges connected in series to one another and which will be thereinafter called "boosters".
The feeding is carried out by means of usual copper conductors which branch off from the substation, at the output of said feeding stabilizing devices and which reach the wire overhead line in intermediate points of the line section comprised between two contiguous substations.
According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the interconnection point between an auxiliary conductor of a stabilized feeding source and the wire overhead line is placed in each line section at a third of the distance between two contiguous substations so that on each intermediate line section between the two substation bars two points of stabilized feeding are provided.
Of course, also the substation bar can be provided with an analogous device so that each interconnection point with the wire overhead line can receive an electronically controlled stabilized feeding.
The advantages of such arrangement consist first of all of having at disposal: in an equivalent manner and in every respect, two auxiliary substations along each line section without being subjected to the burdens and costs of further civil installations, primary connections, remote controls, easements, etc. In such a manner, the wire overhead line between two contiguous substations has at disposal pratically four points having a voltage, that is substantially constant in the course of the time, i.e. the two substation bus-bars as well as the two intermediate points of stabilized feeding (each provided, at a third of the distance from the respective substations), can ensure an average voltage on the pantograph trolley of the electric traction locomotives higher than the voltage hitherto provided under the same conditions.
Therefore under the same conditions of the power which is absorbed by the single electric locomotives on the wire overhead line, less current circulates and therefore there are less Joule effect losses and a more limited swinging field of the pantograph trolley voltage, while, as the current, as well as the losses along the line are equal, the available power is higher and the voltage swingings on the pantograph trolley are less.
In addition to the aforementioned advantages, there is the further advantage that in the event of a short
circuit, as far as the present configurations is concerned, the out-of-service line portion is always shorter than a third of the line section length, instead of the entire section length, as will be better explained in more detailed manner thereinafter.
The present invention will be now illustrated on the base of a preferred embodiment with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 illustrates a basic diagram of the arrangement of substations and auxiliary feeding lines;
Figure 2 is a diagrammatic circuit of a substation with the electronic stabilizing devices connected to a wire overhead line;
Figure 3 is general diagram of the extra-rapid switches and of the bus-bar sectionalizing switches which become operative in the event of a short circuit in the line; and
Figure 4 is a block diagram illustrating a system of data transmission between the wire overhead line and the substation.
The basic diagram of the feeding system is shown in
Figure 1, in which three substations 1, 2, 3, are shown, which are connected to three feeding lines la, lb, lc -
2a, 2b, 2c and 3a, 3b, 3c respectively, which are usual copper conductors feeding the wire overhead line 4 in such a manner as to separate the line section length L, between two contiguous substations, in three equal portions L/3.
Figure 2 shows the diagrammatic circuit of a substation
1 that is provided with at least three conversion groups constituted of transformers 5 and of Greatz bridges 6 which, consist of diode bridges and three-phase thyristor bridges which are per s§ well known in the art, and which therefore will be not illustrated in a more detailed manner thereinafter. Each of said three groups performs an independent electronic voltage control, since the absorptions at the points A, B, C, of the double-wire overhead line 4 are, in the whole, different from each other at any moment.
Such an instantaneous absorption difference does not permit to use a single common substation bus-bar between the central group, which locally feeds the wire overhead line and the groups feeding the auxiliary conductors.
In order to reduce the copper quantity to be used, either for cost reasons, or for reasons, or for the necessity of the provision of a suitable mechanical support on a piling support system, it is possible to use a single auxiliary feeder, feeding two overhead
lines at a point placed to a third of the line section length L thereof.
Each conversion group, as already mentioned, consists of a diode bridge, or of a hexa or dodeca-phase reaction bridge connected in series to a thyristor bridge, this latter being itself of a hexa or dodeca-phase reaction kind and it will be called thereinafter "booster".
In the application case that will be now considered, provision is made of the presence of a feeding network for a traction installation in D.C. with nominal voltage not higher than 3 kV. It is thus possible to use the usual electro-mechanical extra-rapid switches for a -protection against the short circuits on the D.C. side. Now referring to Figure 3, as a short circuit occurs in the line, it is sufficient that all the extra-rapid switches 7 from I3 to Ig are caused to open then testing their successive closure. If the short circuit has not a transient character, the extra-rapid switches I3 to 18 and successively the bus-bar sectionalizing switches S3, S4, S5 and Sg open. Then the switches are caused to close again, and in the event that the short circuit is no more present, that signifies that said short circuit is confined in the intermediate portion of the line section (portion KL) and that therefore the remaining two portions-equal to two thirds of the length L of the line section, can be fed, thus reducing the inefficiency, time.
If, on the contrary, the short circuit is localized in one of the two lateral portions of the line section L, as for instance, the portion HK (or the portion LM) , owing to the fact that the consideration for such lateral portions is perfectly identical, the extra-rapid switches l3 to Ig and therefore also the sectionalizing switches Si and S2 open again. Successively the switches I5 to Ig can be closed again, ensuring, however, the feeding of two thirds of the line section length L. By means of this operative system it can be thus obtained that, in the event of a short circuit, the inefficient line portion is, in any case, equal only to one third (L/3) of the whole length L of the line section, as has been hereinbefore already stated, and thus it does not concern the whole "line section, as at present takes place with the use of the conventional feeding systems.
The control of the bridges takes place by a variation of the triggering phase of the booster thyristors. More in particular, as far as the central conversion group of substation is concerned, it is sufficient to provide a D.C./D.C. transductor having the task of sensing the instantaneous value of the voltage in that point of the wire overhead line and to use this latter to control the bridge. As far .as the conversion groups are concerned, which feed the auxiliary conductors, two solutions are possible:
a) the provision of a D.C./D.C. voltage conversion transductor 9 placed on the point, in which the auxiliary conductor, (the conductor lb, for instance), intersects the contact line 4. The signal coming out from the transductor 9 is subjected to an analogue- digital conversion in the A/D converter 10, then it is sent, through the modem 11 and a data transmission line, to the substation, in which it will be reconverted into an analogue signal by means of a digital/analogue converter 12 and thence it is sent to control the bridge 6 of the substation 1 through a suitable interface 13 (Figure 4). For the feeding of the transductor and of the modem near the wire overhead line the local energy sources feeding the signalizing plants can be used. b) the provision of the use of a D.C. tranductor connected in series with the auxiliary feeding conductor coming out from the substation so that the product of the current, passing through the conductor, multiplied by the resistance of said conductor, represents the image of the voltage drop in the intersection point between the conductor and the wire overhead line 4.
