As is well known, the external disturbance (especially the stochastic wind load) has nonnegligible effect on the operation of pantograph-catenary system, which may cause the strong fluctuation in contact force as well as the increased occurrence of contact loss. In order to improve the current collection quality of a high-speed railway pantograph-catenary system under a strong stochastic wind field, a sliding mode controller with a proportional-derivative (PD) sliding surface for a high-speed active pantograph is proposed. The nonlinear finite element procedure is employed to establish the catenary model. The fluctuating wind speeds along catenary are simulated using empirical spectrums. The buffeting forces exerted on contact and messenger wires are derived to construct the stochastic wind field along the catenary. A PD sliding surface is properly determined to guarantee that the mechanical impedance of pantograph head at the dominant frequencies of contact force decreases when the sliding surface approaches zero. Through several numerical simulations with different wind velocities and wind angles, the control performance of two popular control laws (proportional switching law and constant switching law) is evaluated.

Maintenance of catenary system is a crucial task for the safe operation of high-speed railway systems. Catenary system malfunction could interrupt railway service and threaten public safety. This article presents a computer vision algorithm that is developed to automatically detect the defective rod-insulators in a catenary system to ensure reliable power transmission. Two key challenges in building such a robust inspection system are addressed in this work, the detection of the insulators in the catenary image and the detection of possible defects. A two-step insulator detection method is implemented to detect insulators with different inclination angles in the image. The sub-images containing cantilevers and rods are first extracted from the catenary image. Then, the insulators are detected in the sub-image using deformable part models. A local intensity period estimation algorithm is designed specifically for insulator defect detection. Experimental results show that the proposed method is able to automatically and reliably detect insulator defects including the breakage of the ceramic discs and the foreign objects clamped between two ceramic discs. The performance of this visual inspection method meets the strict requirements for catenary system maintenance.

This paper deals with the design of a novel modified supertwisting fast nonlinear sliding mode controller (MSTFNSMC) to stabilize a quadrotor system under time-varying disturbances. The suggested control strategy is based on a modified supertwisting controller with a fast nonlinear sliding surface to improve the tracking performance. The paper suggests a simple optimization tool built-in MATLAB/Simulink to tune the proposed controller parameters. Fast convergence of state variables is established by using a nonlinear sliding surface for rotational and translational subsystems. The modified supertwisting controller is developed to suppress the effect of chattering, reject disturbances, and ensure robustness against external disturbance effect. The stability of the proposed controller (MSTFNSMC) is proved using the Lyapunov theory. The performance of the proposed MSTFNSMC approach is compared with the supertwisting sliding mode controller (STSMC) by numerical simulations to verify its effectiveness.

Catenary System

The performance of the high speed trains depends critically on the quality of the contact in the pantograph-catenary interaction. Maintaining a constant contact force needs taking special measures and one of the methods is to utilize active control to optimize the contact force. A number of active control methods have been proposed in the past decade. However, the primary objective of these methods has been to reduce the variation of the contact force in the pantograph-catenary system, ignoring the effects of locomotive vibrations on pantograph-catenary dynamics. Motivated by the problems in active control of vibration in large scale structures, the author has developed a geometric framework specifically targeting the remote vibration suppression problem based only on local control action. It is the intention of the paper to demonstrate its potential in the active control of the pantograph-catenary interaction, aiming to minimize the variation of the contact force while simultaneously suppressing the vibration disturbance from the train. A numerical study is provided through the application to a simplified pantograph-catenary model.

Abstract The high-speed maglev train will be subjected to extremely obvious aerodynamic load during operation, it will also be subjected to instantaneous aerodynamic impact load in the case of passing, which will bring extreme challenges to the suspension stability and safe operation of the train. It is necessary to consider the influence of aerodynamic load and shock wave in the design of suspension control algorithm. Traditional proportion integration differentiation (PID) control cannot follow the change of vehicle parameters or external disturbance, which is easy to cause suspension fluctuation and instability. In order to improve the suspension stability and vibration suppression of high-speed maglev train under aerodynamic load and impact, a controller based on sliding mode technique is designed in this paper, and in this controller, the deformation of the primary suspension is introduced to replace the aerodynamic load on the electromagnet. In order to verify the control performance of the designed controller, the dynamic simulation model of train with three vehicles is established, and the dynamic response of the train under the condition of passing in open air is calculated. Compared with the PID controller, it is verified that the sliding mode control (SMC) method proposed in this paper can effectively restrain the electromagnet fluctuation of the train under aerodynamic load.

Based on 3-d, uncompressible onflow model with steady N-S equation and the k-epsilon double equation, aerodymic characteristics of EMU and windbreaks on bridge under cross wind were studied numerically, the results show: (1) compared to no windbreak, EMU overturning moment was decreased 50% by setting general windbreak , 75% by setting ventilated windbreak; ventilated windbreak’s protective effect on train and pantograph-catenary system is better especially when H≥2.5m ; (2) aerodynamic load on ventilated windbreak is far lower than general windbreak; (3)the higher cross-wind velocity is, the more aerodynamic load decreased when setting ventilated windbreak. Besides, ventilated windbreak’s leak form could significantly reduce bridge’s self gravity and wind load, improve wind break ability and EMU operation safety.
