Abstract

Background. This study discusses the issues of controlling a linear switched reluctance electric drive combining the functions of traction and magnetic suspension. When an additional magnetic suspension control coordinate is introduced into the drive system, the task of modifying the control algorithms and studying, based on this, the traction properties of the electric drive under the restrictions imposed by the magnetic suspension system arises.

Aim. This study aims to examine the control algorithms that ensure the priority of magnetic suspension in the problem of controlling a linear electric drive combining the functions of traction and suspension.

Materials and Methods. The main research methods used are computer modeling, computational studies, and analysis of research results.

Results. An approach to the selection of control parameters is proposed that allows minimizing the impact of the drive operating mode on the electromagnetic suspension system.

Conclusion. The practical significance of the proposed approach is that it can be used in the design of a control system for a combined traction system and suspension of a cargo transport platform.

Shevchenko S.M., Alekseev S.V., Zanin D.I., Zanina A.D., Averchenko G.A.
Abstract

Background. The main objective of the implementation of the National Project “Safe high-quality roads” of the Russian Federation is to improve the safety and quality of highways. This study provides a justification for the methods of installing longitudinal noise strips and an assessment of their impact on overall road safety. The results of this study can be used to develop effective recommendations for integrating these measures into the processes of designing and building highways.

Aim. The purpose of this study is to select and substantiate the most rational way of installing longitudinal noise strips on highways. This study analyzes the relationship between the longitudinal noise band and the frequency of traffic accidents. The main purpose of this study is to study the relationship between the presence of a noise lane on the road and the frequency of traffic accidents. This study evaluates the impact of the noise band on the change in the risk of accidents and traffic violations.

Methods. Various sections of the concentration of road accidents are considered on the basis of statistical data on highways of the technical category, on which measures have been implemented for the installation of longitudinal noise strips, allowing an analysis of their effectiveness. The features and recommendations regarding longitudinal noise strips on newly erected sections of highways are highlighted.

Results. Taking the highways in the North-Western region as an example, the technology of installing longitudinal noise strips on highways has a benefit for road safety and economic efficiency.

Options for the structure of an autonomous electric power system with a battery of hydrogen fuel cells
Karabadzhak I.D., Nikitin V.V.
Abstract

Background. Recently, interest in the problem of reducing the emissions of hydrocarbon fuel combustion products into the atmosphere and the use of alternative and renewable energy sources has sharply increased. This problem is relevant to both stationary and transport energy. One of the ways to reduce the harmful impact of primary energy sources in autonomous transport power plants on the environment is their hybridization, i.e., use, along with traditional energy sources (turbogenerators and diesel generators), of hydrogen sources of electricity (fuel cell batteries).

Aim. This study presents a justification of the optimal variant of the structure of an autonomous electric power system with a combined power plant based on hydrogen sources of electricity.

Materials and Methods. To achieve this goal, a comparative analysis of the parameters and characteristics of the power system elements was performed, as well as a method for modeling processes in the power system under study using the MATLAB Simulink package. Two options for the structure of an autonomous electric power system are being considered, namely, a common AC and DC bus. An analysis of the parameters and characteristics of these options was performed for three typical operating modes, namely, turning on a static load, direct starting of an asynchronous motor with a load on the shaft, and transferring consumers from power from a diesel generator to power from a battery of hydrogen fuel cells.

Results. In all considered modes, the VTE battery is characterized by a rapid response to load changes and stable efficiency. The nature of transient processes is aperiodic or low oscillatory, rapidly decaying. In terms of the number of semiconductor converters, filtering devices, and their total power, the structure of an autonomous power system with a common AC bus is more preferable.

Dynamic characteristics of a magnetic bearing based on high-temperature superconductors in the event of rotor and stator misalignment
Martirosian I.V., Alexandrov D.A., Pokrovskii S.V., Rudnev I.A.
Abstract

Aim: This study aims to analyze the influence of harmonic excitations during bearing misalignment on the power and mechanical characteristics of a high-speed magnetic bearing based on tape high-temperature superconducting composites.

Methods. Numerical multiphysics analysis of a superconducting magnetic bearing was performed using the finite element method in Comsol Multiphysics.

Results. When there is a deviation from coaxiality in the arrangement of the magnetic elements of the HTS bearing, harmonic excitations, vibrations, and beats appear, leading to a deterioration in the load characteristics of the device and a decrease in the dynamic permeability of the magnetic system.

Conclusion. The developed numerical model makes it possible to predict the dynamic and mechanical characteristics of high-speed HTS bearings and can be used to develop high-speed rotor systems.

Abstract

Aim. This study aims to develop a scientific and practical tool for assessing the influence of the effectiveness of the district system of modernizing and current maintenance of railway tracks.

Methods. To evaluate the process of introducing modern breakthrough technologies in terms of determining the time costs of work and the degree of their modification, the mathematical modeling method of business processes is used.

Results. A model of the organization of the mechanized process of capital overhaul of the track was developed, and the economic efficiency of using satellite navigation during capital overhaul of the track was calculated.

Conclusion. The introduction of digital technologies to control the depth of the ballast prism cutout during the operation of gravel-cleaning machines relative to the adjacent track successfully replaces the labor process of measuring with a horizontal rail with a leveling under the inner thread of the repaired track, excludes technological stops of machines, and reduces the time of work of machines and personnel and operational costs.

Vinnikova K.O., Efimova E.N., Shmelev A.V.
Abstract

Aim. This study aims to estimate the influence of new technical and technological parameters of contrailer railway transportation on the production cost and develop proposals for contrailer transportation tariffication in modern conditions.

Materials and methods. Based on the current tariffication conditions and to ensure an equal level of container and contrailer transportation profitability, the base level of railway tariff was estimated by comparing the container and contrailer transportation costs in terms of the oversized nature of contrailer transportation.

Results. This study analyzes the current and prospective technologies of contrailer transportation considering the influence of rolling stock parameters and the related degree of their oversize. Furthermore, the analysis includes the classification of rolling stock used in contrailer transportation. Results of wagon technical parameter evaluation influence on the degree of oversized contrailers and their compliance with zones and degrees showed adherence to the adopted contrailer dimension. Under this dimension, the costs of container and contrailer transportation were compared and correction factors to tariff schemes were obtained.

Conclusion. Based on the results of this study, it would be reasonable to increase the base level of railway tariff for transportation of contrailers to ensure an equal level of transportation profitability with containers.
