  2. 1. Modelling and simulation of pantograph-catenary dynamics

    Author : Lars Drugge; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Datorstödd maskinkonstruktion; Computer Aided Design;

    Abstract : This thesis considers theoretical and experimental investigations of the dynamic behaviour of pantograph-catenary systems for trains and its relation to simulation driven product development. The pantograph and catenary form an oscillating system that is coupled via the contact force between the pantograph head and the contact wire. READ MORE

  4. 2. Numerical study on multi-pantograph railway operation at high speed

    Author : Zhendong Liu; Sebastian Stichel; Jens Nielsen; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; numerical study; pantograph-catenary system; multi-pantograph operation; dynamic behaviour; high-speed operation; Järnvägsgruppen - Fordonsteknik; Järnvägsgruppen - Fordonsteknik;

    Abstract : Multi-pantograph operation allows several short electric multiple unit (EMU) trainsets to be coupled or decoupled to adapt to daily or seasonal passenger-flow variation. Although this is a convenient and efficient way to operate rolling stock and use railway infrastructure, pantographs significantly influence each other and even significantly change the dynamic behaviour of the system compared to single-pantograph operation in the same condition.

  5. 3. Measures to Enhance the Dynamic Performance of Railway Catenaries

    Author : Zhendong Liu; Sebastian Stichel; João Pombo; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Vehicle and Maritime Engineering; Farkostteknik;

    Abstract : The pantograph-catenary system is used in railways to transfer electric power from infrastructure to trainset. As the pantograph slides against the catenary, the contact between the two surfaces is not stable due to stiffness variation, propagating wave and other environmental perturbation, especially at high speeds or in multi-pantograph operation.
