The train-handling capacity of the limiting section of the traction power supply system of the Northern route of the Eastern polygon of the Eastern Siberian Railroad has been estimated, taking into account the prospective amount of traffic for 2025. Due to insufficient train-handling capacity of the section and inconsistency of voltage level in the overhead system, the parameters of traction power supply system operation mode were studied using the mathematical simulation method in the Fazonord software application and the mathematical simulation method in the Kortes software application using various technical means of amplification.
The simulation results allowed us to determine the most optimal amplification methods that meet the task set.
It was proved that the method of increasing the transmitted power from 220 kV power line to 110 kV line through the autotransformer installed for their connection at the new traction substation of the limiting long section corresponds to the purpose of ensuring the required trainhandling capacity of the limiting section in the best possible way, taking into account the prospects for development of both the external power supply system and the system of traction power supply. At one of the traction substations of the section under study it is required to install an additional power transformer for parallel operation.
The specified combination of technical amplification means brings the parameters of traction power supply system into compliance with the requirements.
