Robust Adaptive Contact Force Control of Pantograph–Catenary System: An Accelerated Output Feedback Approach

IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics, 2021
The pantograph–catenary system plays the crucial role in high-speed electric trains for electrical power collection, where continuity and smoothness of the contact between the pantograph and the catenary is one of the key factors ensuring high-quality power collection essential for safe and reliable train operation.

Pantograph/Catenary Contact Force Control

Volume 6: 11th International Conference on Multibody Systems, Nonlinear Dynamics, and Control, 2015
In this paper, a new continuum-based pantograph/catenary model based on the absolute nodal coordinate formulation (ANCF) is proposed and used to develop an effective method to control the contact force which arises from the pantograph/catenary interaction.

The Effects of Spatially Distributed Damping on the Contact Force in Railway Pantograph-Catenary Interactions

IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement, 2021
According to field measurements, the damping ratio of a railway catenary varies along the span length and shows an inherent uncertainty. In numerical simulations, it is common to assume a constant damping ratio. Herein, a methodology is proposed to include the variable damping ratio of a catenary in numerical simulations of pantograph-catenary ...

Evaluation of the coupled dynamical response of a pantograph—catenary system: contact force and stresses

Vehicle System Dynamics, 2006
In this article, the static stresses in a catenary and its vibration modes are calculated by establishing the FEM model of the catenary with Euler–Bernoulli beam elements. The mode shapes of the catenary obtained are considered as the generalized variables which are used in the establishment of the motion equations of the catenary system.

An analysis method for correlation between catenary irregularities and pantograph-catenary contact force

Journal of Central South University, 2014
Pantograph-catenary contact force provides the main basis for evaluation of current quality collection; however, the pantograph-catenary contact force is largely affected by the catenary irregularities. To analyze the correlated relationship between catenary irregularities and pantograph-catenary contact force, a method based on nonlinear auto ...

Variation in predicting pantograph–catenary interaction contact forces, numerical simulations and field measurements [PDF]

open access: yesVehicle System Dynamics, 2017
ABSTRACTThe contact force between the pantograph and the contact wire ensures energy transfer between the two. Too small of a force leads to arching and unstable energy transfer, while too large of a force leads to unnecessary wear on both parts. Thus, obtaining the correct contact force is important for both field measurements and estimates using ...

Detection of Contact Wire Irregularities Using a Quadratic Time–Frequency Representation of the Pantograph–Catenary Contact Force

IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement, 2016
As for the rapid expansion of high-speed electrified railway industry, the current collection quality of electric locomotives becomes one of the crucial technical issues for the stable operation of trains. The key measurement index that can characterize the quality of current collection is the contact force between the catenary and pantograph on the ...
