Modeling and control of railway networks

چکیده
In this paper we consider the modeling and control of railway networks. The main aim of the control is to recover from delays in an optimal way by breaking connections and changing the departure of trains (at a cost). To model the controlled railway system we will use a switching max-pluslinear system description. We define the optimal control design problem for the railway network, and we show that solving this problem leads to an integer optimization problem. By solving an easier low-dimensional real-valued optimization problem we obtain good initial values for the integer optimization problem.

Power Quality Improvement in Traction Power Supply Networks
AC railway traction loads are usually huge single phase loads. As a result, a significant amount of Negative Sequence Current (NSC) is injected into utility grid. Moreover, harmonics and consumption ofreactive power are further power quality problems that the supply network is encountering. In this paper, acompensation strategy with the aid of Railway Power Conditioner (RPC) is proposed to over...
