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.

The design and performance of an active controller for a pantograph which collects current for a high-speed train are considered. A dynamic model of the pantograph/catenary system is described and control objectives are established. A design which incorporates a frame-actuated controller and requires only a single measurement is described. Over an array of train speeds, the contact force variation with the actively controlled pantograph is 50 percent less than for the equivalent passive pantograph system.

The regular current collection is very important for high-speed train, and can be obviously improved by the use of active control. In order to study the impact of the fuzzy active control on pantograph-catenary system, the model ohe simulation model is created with the software of simulink. Finally the influences of fuzzy active control on dynamic performances and quality of current collection of the pantograph-catenary system are analyzed. It seems that, the performances of the system with or without active control is established, the fuzzy controller is constructed, and tf the pantograph- catenary system can be improved obviously under the fuzzy active control, the maximum value of the contact force is reduced to 50 percent, the minimum is increased to 80 percent, and the fluctuation extent of the contact force is reduced to 70 percent.
