Abstract

A typical approach to calculation of energy losses in traction circuits of electrified transport is compared to a proposed method of traction network electrical parameters calculation. The method is based on probabilistic experiments which include generation instant equivalent circuits of traction network and their calculation. The initial data for instant circuit generation were obtained experimentally for one of the trolleybus routes in Novosibirsk. A comparison of the traditional analytical approach and the proposed method of energy loss calculation based on a large amount of experimental data has been performed. Comparison results show that both methods give close power loss values. The proposed computational method may be used in power supply system calculations for its higher flexibility allowing accounting a high number of peculiarities and factors influencing the electric supply systems.
