Sensitivity analysis of pantograph-catenary system model
2012 IEEE 5th India International Conference on Power Electronics (IICPE), 2012The contact wire experiences a dynamic force from the pantograph mechanism which results in the vibrations in the contact wire. A mathematic model between displacement of contact wire and force is developed. The displacement and dynamic force vary with the parameters of pantograph mechanism.

Basic Analytical Study of Pantograph-catenary System Dynamics
Vehicle System Dynamics, 1998SUMMARY For a high speed electrical rail system, good dynamic performance of the pantograph-catenary system is vital for smooth and continuous current collection. It has been known for many years that to achieve this the head of the pantograph should be made as light as possible and the average stiffness of the catenary should be high.

Dynamics of the Pantograph-Catenary System
2019Pantograph-catenary interaction is a critical issue for electrified railway systems, as it represents a limiting factor for the maximum speed at which the electric rolling stock can be operated and, at the same time, strongly affects the reliability, availability and maintainability of both the rolling stock and the infrastructure. This chapter reviews

An Interactive Model of a Pantograph-Catenary System
Vehicle System Dynamics, 1996SUMMARY The overhead electrification system for high speed trains is modeled by a three degree of freedom pantograph and an infinite homogeneous and elastically supported beam. Travelling wave solutions for the beam with a moving load are used to derive an equivalent stiffness for the pantograph model.

Hough transform and thermo-vision for monitoring pantograph-catenary system
Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part F: Journal of Rail and Rapid Transit, 2006The pantograph-overhead contact wire system is investigated by using an infrared camera. As the pantograph has a vertical motion because of the non-uniform elasticity of the catenary, in order to detect the temperature along the strip from a sequence of infrared images, a segment-tracking algorithm, based on the Hough transformation, has been employed.

Takagi-Sugeno Control Approach for Pantograph-Catenary Positioning System
2019 23rd International Conference on System Theory, Control and Computing (ICSTCC), 2019This paper deals with a non-linear control method based on Takagi-Sugeno representation for a pantograph catenary system. It can be observed that on the subject of railway transportation there is a lot of ongoing research, especially for high speed transportation.

Effect of Locomotive Vibrations on Pantograph-Catenary System Dynamics
Vehicle System Dynamics, 1997Abstract An interactive model is developed to simulate dynamic behavior of pantograph-catenary systems. Vibrating responses of locomotive roof are directly inputted as excitations to the pantograph, which are obtained with the locomotive-track coupling dynamic model.

Hybrid Simulation of Dynamics for the Pantograph-Catenary System
Vehicle System Dynamics, 2002Summary In order to examine the static and dynamic behavior of the pantograph-catenary system, a special teat facility is established and described in this paper. Since the catenary is difficult to be modeled by a hardware teat facility indoor, a mixed theoretical-experimental technique is introduced, in which the pantograph is an actual one but the ...

Robust Control of Contact Force for Pantograph-Catenary System
2018 57th Annual Conference of the Society of Instrument and Control Engineers of Japan (SICE), 2018To improve the quality of the current collection transmitted to a high-speed train, based on a pantograph model with a three-degree of freedom, two methods are presented to suppress the vibration of the pantograph-catenary system. One is $H_{\infty}$ robust control, and the other is improved equivalent-input-disturbance (IEID)-based control. For the

A nonlinear state feedback control approach for a Pantograph-Catenary system
2013 17th International Conference on System Theory, Control and Computing (ICSTCC), 2013In this paper, a nonlinear approach is proposed for the control and state estimation of the Pantograph-Catenary system in order to maintain the contact force at a constant level. Assuming that the measures of the contact force and the train velocity are both available, we estimate the states by means of a robust nonlinear observer constructed by the ...
