The article considers a suitability of mathematical model of stretched rod to determine the relationship of the parameters oscillations of the contact wires and their tension. This model allows you to determine the tension by the frequency oscillations of the contact wire obtained after the passage of the current collector. In this case, the speed of the electric rolling stock will not affect the frequency of the damped oscillations. Thanks to the proposed model, the labor intensity is reduced of determining the tension of wires without interruptions in the movement of trains is reduced and there is an opportunity of operational monitoring of the state of the contact suspension remotely.

In this article, the object of the study is the power supply cables for non-traction railway consumers. The electrical parameters of the insulated conductor are determined. Primary parameters of the aluminum shell of the main power supply cable are obtained. As a result of solving the problem, the transient resistance of an isolated conductor is determined. From the boundary conditions, the propagation constant of the metal shell of the power supply cable in the polymer insulating coating is determined. As a result, the values of the transition resistance obtained by different methods are the same.

Results of calculating the temperature of the pantograph head at different width of the zigzag of the typical suspension, including zero, are presented. The influence of sinusoidal and tangential contact suspensions on the temperature distribution of the pantograph head is estimated.

The article is devoted to the definition of rational overhaul runs equipment of locomotives. This has an impact not only on the reliability of the rolling stock, but also on safety. As a method chosen for the implementation of this task, the functions of the failure rate are used, with the subsequent construction of the functions of resource distribution and determining 90 % of the resource of the equipment of electric locomotives. The proposed technique allows you to determine the rational timing of maintenance and repair of locomotives in the specific conditions of their operation. The calculations are based on information about changes in the technical condition of the wheel-motor block of VL10 electric locomotives.

Low-density railway lines (LDRL) make up almost 1/5 (15,353 km) (18.2 %) of the total length of Railways of JSC "Russian Railways". Currently, the operation of LDRLs in countries of Europe and in Russia is very expensive. This is due to the large number of manual management operations and the excessive need for staff. The solution to the problem of efficiency of use of LDRL in the conditions of market economy is one of the priority tasks facing the transport industry. Despite the fact that LDRL are poorly loaded (on average 3.5 pairs of trains per day) and, therefore, unprofitable, their content is subject to almost the same requirements as for the mainlines, including reporting requirements. The stationmaster and staff of LDRL are overloaded the reporting documentation. This requires the performance of work on the revision of the technology, standards of service and operating procedures LDRL. The purpose of the study is to reduce costs for the main types of activities by changing the technology of maintenance and operation of LDRL. The subject of this study is the operation and maintenance of the LDRL network of JSC "Russian Railways". The methodology of the conducted research is based on the system analysis and scientific generalization of domestic and foreign experience in operation and maintenance of LDRL. The article highlights the technological features of operation of the LDRL. The classification of lines with low-intensity traffic has been developed and the criteria for their assignment to the proposed types have been determined. The peculiarities of the organization of movement of trains, passenger and freight work for the LDRL of various types are presented.

The configuration of heat sources is determined, which allows increasing technical and economic indicators due to the introduction of renewable energy sources.

Recently, for the analysis of complex nonlinear processes, more and more attention is paid to the mathematical apparatus of wavelet transform. This is due to the fact that unlike the traditional Fourier transform, the wavelet transform provides information about the signal under study in the time-frequency domain. The purpose of research is to analyze and simulate a non-sinusoidal non-stationary mode based on the packet wavelet transform, the use of this method for transmitting the digital data stream of the signal under study. The simulation was carried out using the software package Simulink. In the study found that packet wavelet transform with high precision allows to determine the presence of higher harmonics in the power system, the efficiency of using wavelet transform to compress digital data stream of the test signal.

Coal is one of the main sources of energy of the 21st century. New plasma-energy technologies are being developed to improve the efficiency of coal combustion. Today, pulverized coal CHP plants worldwide generate more than 50% of electric and thermal energy, the share of coal in the fuel balance of the CHP is growing. At the same time, the quality of coal is reduced. Traditional methods of reducing fuel oil consumption at thermal power plants (increasing the dispersion of the grinding dust, high preheating of the air mixture and secondary air, etc.) used to improve fuel ignition and burning stabilization, have exhausted themselves, therefore a radical increase in fuel efficiency can only be associated with the development and development of completely new technologies. Plasma technology seems to be the most promising among the alternative technologies available to solve the above problems. This technology provides a significant increase in economic efficiency and environmental performance of power plants operating on solid fuel.
