The formulated problem is solved using memetic algorithm for several load shaving levels in five railway substations in France. Results showed that 50% load shaving can be achieved with an affordable installation while high resource capacities are required for islanding.","PeriodicalId":6851,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Vehicle Power and Propulsion Conference (VPPC)","volume":"26 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":"72775982","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}

Due to the spatial harmonics generated by the FSCW machine, the control strategies proposed in the literature for other on-board integrated chargers cannot achieve torque free operation by cancelling the rotatory magnetic field in the machine. In this paper, a novel torque minimization control (TMC) has been proposed, as an extension of the current controllers established on the literature, to face the spatial harmonics generated by the FSCW machine. The aim of this work is to validate the proposed control algorithm by simulation. In the future, the experimental validation is expected with a prototype that is under construction.","PeriodicalId":6851,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Vehicle Power and Propulsion Conference (VPPC)","volume":"96 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83996407","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}

In this paper, an adaptive framework of multi-dimension capacity estimation and fusion for lithium-ion battery is proposed, which can overcome the shortage that the conventional estimation cannot utilize more useful information effectively. Firstly, during the discharging and charging process, two estimation methods, including the state of charge based and incremental capacity analysis based estimation, are employed to acquire the battery capacity, respectively. Then, the error variance of different estimation is analyzed and deduced. An adaptive fusion method based on Kalman filter is proposed, which can combine the two estimates adaptably based on the error variance of estimation. The experimental results indicate the estimation of the proposed fusion method is relatively accurate and robust.","PeriodicalId":6851,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Vehicle Power and Propulsion Conference (VPPC)","volume":"1 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":"82838254","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}

Most power stations supplied energy to the grid are fossil fuel-based power plants which have a large carbon footprint. Moreover, railway operator spends a fortune to pay the energy bills for buying the energy from the grid and also for carbon emission tax. To alleviate the issues, the use of renewable energy sources and energy storage system integrated to railway power system are presented. The results show a significant cost saving since the requirement of grid power is declined and hence lower carbon tax is charged.","PeriodicalId":6851,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Vehicle Power and Propulsion Conference (VPPC)","volume":"10 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91249543","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 load of power electronic supplies highly fluctuates and therefore needs to be considered during virtual pre-conception and system design.

The proposed converter model includes an additional voltage source representing the dynamics of the converter for different load-dependent deadtime behaviors. The additional voltage is calculated on basis of predicting the leakage current throughout one switching cycle. The algorithm reduces computation time by 91% compared to the switched model.","PeriodicalId":6851,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Vehicle Power and Propulsion Conference (VPPC)","volume":"95 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":"79934776","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}
