This paper presents a method for longitudinal tram platooning control of the Autonomous-rail Rapid Tram (ART) based on cooperative adaptive cruise control(cooperation ACC). The following tram in the CACC formation will sense the position of the leading tram and adjust the speed to avoid collision. In order to realize wireless information transmission between different vehicles through V2V, and transfer information including position, speed, acceleration or road intersection status to assist the tram formation decision and planning. On the other hand, in order to improve control performance, it is important to design a closed-loop controller that takes into account vehicle dynamics. In this article, we try to solve this problem by using the Model Predictive Control (MPC) algorithm, which can explicitly deal with the constraints imposed on the actuator or the acceleration response. Finally, through hardware-in-loop simulation verification, we verified that the developed platooning control has a faster response speed and higher comfort even in traffic jam scenarios.","PeriodicalId":6851,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Vehicle Power and Propulsion Conference (VPPC)","volume":"15 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87553956","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The available line voltage is reduced if the train is in traction condition, the arc itself is characterized by ohmic power losses, and the triggered oscillating transient responses are characterized by a net power loss. In addition, if arc occurs during braking the arc voltage suddenly increases the pantograph voltage and may interfere with the dissipative braking chopper, reducing the recovered energy. This work presents the model and analysis of these phenomena with experimental results for arcs measured on a 3 kV dc line in traction and braking conditions.","PeriodicalId":6851,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Vehicle Power and Propulsion Conference (VPPC)","volume":"18 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86156956","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Railway System Operators (RSOs) test how novel and innovative strategies impact of their own systems in order to reach energy efficiency targets. Due to the intrinsic interaction between the railway traction system and its primary grid, the feasibility of each innovative strategy has to be evaluated in terms of energy and power not only on the railway traction system, but also on its feeding grid. In the actual context forced by the constraint of Covit-19 virus, one of the more relevant strategies applied to urban railway systems is to operate the railway traction system with reduced values of headway. This strategy, which forces repetitive starts, in some cases contemporaneous, of rolling stocks, can produce severe voltage drops on the primary distribution grid. This paper proposes of examining the motion of a fleet of metro trains on a traction system fed by a MV distribution grid of reduced short circuit value. The numerical results point out how constraints imposed by the distribution grid at the Traction Power Substations can influence the control of moving the fleet of rolling stocks on the track.","PeriodicalId":6851,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Vehicle Power and Propulsion Conference (VPPC)","volume":"29 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81458265","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, there is pulsation and a quite large harmonic distortion in stator current. In this paper, a novel cascade multi-vector model predictive control strategy is proposed. Firstly, the model predictive controller is used to replace the traditional linear controller in the external speed loop, and a three-vector model predictive controller is designed in the internal current loop. The amplitude and direction of output voltage vector are adjustable which improves the performance of the current control. As multi-vector model predictive control will increase the switching frequency of the system, we construct a cost function with switching frequency constraints to solve this issue. Finally, the proposed control strategy is verified on the asynchronous motor experiment set that it can improve the current tracking performance and effectively reduce the switching frequency of the inverter while maintaining the speed loop with good dynamic and static performance.","PeriodicalId":6851,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Vehicle Power and Propulsion Conference (VPPC)","volume":"15 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79837665","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
