Recently, higher speeds have been promoted in old overhead-lines. For high-speed operation in electric railways, increasing contact loss of the pantograph is one of the most important subjects. The contact loss causes power interruption and increases wear of contact strips and contact wires. In order to investigate the causes of contact loss and to work out effective improvement methods, theoretical analyses, experiments have been carried out. First of all, the wave propagating velocity (phase velocity) and characteristics of contact wire are one of the important indices for the current collecting performance. In this paper, mathematical formula arc derived for the prediction of the traveling wave velocity. The measured values in the experiment agree well with the theoretical predictions.

Currents which are generated at both ends of drive motor by operating brake pedal when subway train is driving, will generate the reviltalization actual effect if they are not used immediately. So there exist rolling stock established Dynamic braking annex for the purpose of stable brake performance in case there are no retrogress train around or no stable wiring voltage.Therefore 55% of entered energy are consumed in subway train. 45% are used in down gradient section or for regeneration energy and among them 25% are used for another train's retrogression through the wiring. So to reduce reviltalization method keeping the existing system, substation's service voltage should be declined about 5%. And then it will ease off excessive wiring voltage rise. And there need energy reduction by flexible service voltage adjustment and study for energy consumption efficiency in the subway.

The high investment is necessary for the new high speed lines. So the KRRI has been interested in the possibility of upgrading the existing line in order to speed up the train in the conventional lines. The pantograph in train is indispensable in order to supply the electrification equipments with power in safe. The pantograph and the overhead wire form a dynamic coupled system and they affect each other through the contact force. Unfortunately, as the operational speed of a train increases, the vibration of the pantograph and the overhead wire also increases. This may lead to a zero contact force between the pantograph head and the overhead wire, which can results in the loss of contact, arching and abrasion. If the arching and spark happen between the pantograph and the overhead catenary system, the EMI(electro magnetic interface) and noises may occur. After all, the quality of current collection is deteriorated. This paper describes the dynamic response between the pantograph and catenary system by the numerical simulations and presents the LQ-servo controller to reduce the contact force variation

The dynamic properties between catenary and pantograph of high-speed train are very important factors to affect the stable electric power supply. So as to design the reliable current collection system, a multibody simulation model is needed. In this paper, the dynamic analysis method for a pantograph-catenary cable system of high-speed train is presented. The very deformable motion of a catenary cable is demonstrated using nonlinear continuous beam theory, which is based on an absolute nodal coordinate formulation, and the pantograph is modeled as a rigid multibody. The proposed method might be very efficient, because this method can present the nonlinear properties of a flexible catenary cable and set a various boundary conditions.

The reliability of catenary system is very important for uninterrupted train operation as it supplies electric power to train without redundant facilities. This paper provides a systematic approach to the reliability analysis of the catenary system based on FMECA procedures defined by global standards such as MIL Std 1692a and IEC 60812. Field failure data collected from the operation and maintenance of high-speed railway catenary system for 9 years are used to derive critical failure modes and to evaluate the criticality of the failure modes. Evaluation of the criticality are carried out by quantitative procedures defined by MIL Std 1692a and by criticality matrix defined by IEC 60812. FMECA results suggests that three critical failure modes should be checked carefully during maintenance work, which include strand break of dropper and voltage equalizing wire, power supply failure of feeder. Maintenance procedure of catenary system in order of importance is suggested too. These results can be applied to maintenance planning and design of catenary system to improve the reliability of electric railway system.

In this study, the dynamic characteristics of a catenary system and pantograph supplying electrical power to high-speed trains are investigated. One of the most important issues accompanied by increasing the speed of high-speed rail is stabilization of current collection. To stabilize current collection, it is necessary the contact force between the catenary and the pantograph to be kept continuous without loss of contact. The analytical model of a catenary and a pantograph is constructed to simulate the behavior of an actual system. The analysis of the catenary based on the Finite Element Method (FEM) is performed to develop a catenary model suitable for high speed operation. The reliability of the models is verified by the comparison of the excitation test with Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) data of the actual system. The static deflection of the catenary, stiffness variation in contact lines, dynamic response of the catenary undergoing constant moving load, contact force, and each state of the pantograph model were calculated. It is confirmed that a catenary and pantograph model are necessary for studying the dynamic behavior of the pantograph system.

In this paper, a simulation for the stability of the catenary voltage through charging and discharging by introducing an energy storage system in the railway system and the efficient usage of restoration energy has been performed. In order for the simulation, a simple railway model with an appropriate control technique has been introduced. The catenary voltage area is divided into two areas with voltage control and an area with normal operation and current control is performed to satisfy current limit of the supercapacitor. We confirmed the energy absorption and emission through the simulation and observed energy efficiency through charging and discharging according to the operation state of the railway.

In this paper, the combined system equation of motion, which can analyze the dynamic interaction between pantograph and catenary system, is derived by adopting absolute nodal coordinates and rigid body coordinates. The analysis results are compared with real experiment data from test running of Korean high-speed train (HSR 350x). In addition, a computation method for the dynamic stress of contact wire is presented using the derived system equation of motion. This method might be good example and significant in that the structural and multibody dynamics model can be unified into one numerical system.
