Abstract

Traction power fluctuations have economic and environmental effects on high-speed railway system (HSRS). The combination of energy storage system (ESS) and HSRS shows a promising potential for utilization of regenerative braking energy and peak shaving and valley filling. This paper studies a hybrid energy storage system (HESS) for traction substation (TS) which integrates super-capacitor (SC) and vanadium redox battery (VRB). According to the characteristics of the traction load under actual operating conditions, an energy management strategy with fixed-period control (FPC) is proposed, which fully leverages the periodicity and regularity of HSRS operation. To achieve the optimal size, economic feasibility is selected as the optimization objective, which is fully assessed in terms of Net Present Value (NPV). The optimization constraints are formulated in which the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) is performed for power allocation between SC and VRB. Besides, an improved mutation-based particle swarm optimization (IMBPSO) is proposed to efficiently solve the optimization and enhance convergence performance. Finally, combined with the measured traction load data, the effectiveness of the FPC energy management strategy is verified and the optimal scale of the HESS is provided.
