Abstract: | This paper deals with a combined test rig for a traction system in the laboratory environment. An experimental system was designed and implemented to verify the performance of the traction system for a metro train. For a highly accurate control of the system, a hybrid control algorithm combining vector control and slip frequency control was applied to control the traction inverter. The design method of the flywheels, which represent the equivalent model of the train moment inertia, was elaborated. A train runtime diagnosis system was completed by adopting the multifunction vehicle bus (MVB) protocol. The dynamic performance of the metro power traction system was emulated under the control of the train runtime diagnosis system. Using the combined test rig, the performances of the traction system in traction, braking, temperature rise, etc., were verified through traction and breaking experiments. |
