With the purpose of providing capacity on the West-Siberian railway, in recent times, adjustable reactive power compensation devices have been introduced. The schematic construction and parameters of such devices on the market are significantly different. In connection with this, it is necessary to choose from the set of schemes the most effective, corresponding to specific technical and economic conditions. The article assesses the power losses in the main equipment of two devices from different manufacturers, namely static thyristor compensators of reactive power produced by "KER Holding" Kazan and "Aidis groups" Moscow, installed on the Alambay and Novaya Dubrava sectional posts of the West Siberian Iron roads. The power losses in the equipment are calculated taking into account additional losses from the influence of higher harmonic components. The analysis of the circuit design of both devices in terms of loss reduction is carried out. Dependences of power losses in their elements on the generated reactive power and the current of the thyristor-reactor group are constructed. Probabilistic functions of the distribution of the current of the titrator-reactor groups of devices are given at preset settings. The results of measurements of power consumption of devices for own needs are presented. The effect of reducing power losses in the traction network from switching devices with losses in their main equipment is compared. On the basis of the work done, the elements with the greatest losses are identified. The features of each device, affecting the power loss in the main equipment, are described. Conclusions are drawn about the effectiveness of the schemes under consideration. Methods for reducing power losses in basic equipment and consumption for energy consumption are proposed.

The article considers an approach that allows to reduce the asymmetry of consumed currents by traction substations of railways from a three-phase power supply system using a compensating device with an asymmetric structure installed at the substation. Reactive currents of the compensating device allow to redistribute between phases of the traction transformer active and reactive power of asymmetric traction load and to receive symmetric load of three-phase power supply system. The theorem is proposed to determine the conductivities and reactive currents of the branches of a compensating device with an asymmetric structure depending on the traction loads. The article presents the calculated expressions, which can be used to calculate the conductivity and reactive currents of the branches of the compensating device for any traction load of the feeders, in which the equivalent load, including the reactive currents of the branches of the device and the currents of the feeder zones will be symmetrical and active. As an example of the application of the theorem and the proposed expressions, a test problem is presented in which the secondary winding of a traction transformer with asymmetric traction load of feeders is considered, the conductivity of the branches of the device is calculated. With the use of vector diagrams shows the receipt of a symmetrical system of currents of the secondary winding of the traction transformer. Mathematical expressions allowing to realize the necessary law of regulation of reactive currents of the device are given. The necessary ranges control of reactive currents of the compensating device on traction substation on the set probabilistic laws of change of traction loadings are defined. Various options for the practical implementation of a compensating device that will provide the necessary inductive or capacitive current of each branch are considered.

The article considers one of the ways of improving the energy efficiency of three-phase power supply system of industrial and railway enterprises. Presented and proved a theorem, which allows to determine the necessary conductivity and the reactive branch currents compensating device with asymmetric structure, for which the equivalent conductivity of these elements and the load will be symmetrical and active. In three-phase electric circuit of an alternating sinusoidal current reactive elements allow to redistribute active and reactive power between the phases. The use of a compensating device with asymmetric structure will reduce losses from the occurrence of reactive currents, reverse currents and zero sequence in low-voltage three-phase power system. As an example of the use of the theorem and the calculated expressions for determination of conductance of the branches of the asymmetric compensating devices a special test problem was considered. It shows the values of power losses, the coefficients of voltage unbalance with and without using the device. Considered possible options for the practical implementation of such technical devices.

This article presents an algorithm and a method for calculating power flow of an open electric network with a voltage of 6-35 kV, taking into account the temperature dependence of active resistances. Calculation of the electric and thermal conditions of the electric network is carried out with a joint solution of the equations. The determination of stresses in the nodes is carried out using the inverse matrix of the nodal and intrinsic conductivities. The inverse matrix of nodal and intrinsic conductivities is determined based on the well-known direct Jordan-Gauss method. The equation of the heat balance of the wire used to calculate the actual temperature is solved numerically. Convective heat transfer is recorded only for forced convection, because wires of overhead power lines with a voltage of 6 kV and higher are located on various types of poles, at a height of at least 10 m. This fact allows us to abandon the use of formulas for natural convection and use expressions only for forced convection. Accounting for solar radiation in the presented algorithm is possible on the basis of two methods: simplified and considered in the standard of PJSC FGC UES, which allows you to take into account the actual location of the wire relative to the north. Using the test circuit as an example, the steady-state mode was calculated taking into account the temperature dependence of the active resistances. The results of a numerical experiment are presented, confirming the operability of the developed algorithm. The refinement in determining active power losses with and without taking into account the heating factor for the considered circuit is about 13%. Verification of the algorithm that implements the method of calculating the steady state (SS) of an open electrical network of a medium voltage class taking into account the temperature dependence of active resistances showed that in technically acceptable modes the developed algorithm has good accuracy in comparison with the RastrWin3 software package.

In article the algorithm of operation of the existing regime automatic equipment of transforming aggregates is considered. Earlier it was read that use of automatic equipment of switching on switch-off of reserve transforming aggregates is an effective remedy of lowering of losses in case of regulation of power of substation depending on tractive loading. Defining factors of assessment of efficiency of automatic equipment are the current and temporal settings, and also restriction of number of switchings in days. The analysis of diagrams of tractive loading showed that there is rather large number of temporal intervals where operation of automatic equipment is ineffective. On the one hand it is connected to the fact that loading is above a point of equality of losses in case of one and two transforming aggregates quite short time, and automatic equipment connects the reserve transforming aggregate already in the course of lowering of loading and disconnects it after a temporal setting. On the other hand - operating restriction of number of switchings of the reserve transforming aggregate in days doesn't allow to gain the considerable economic effect. The decision on use of regime automatic equipment with the existing settings can be the positive if at the same time the estimated effect in the form of abbreviation of losses of the electric power is above cumulative damage from switching of the reserve transforming aggregate. Regime automatic equipment in most cases, it is necessary to consider not as means of obtaining economic effect, and as means of reliability augmentation of operation of semiconductor rectifiers at the peak moments of loading what in turn influences reliability of electrical power supply of pull of trains in general.

The use of new self-supporting insulated wires and high-temperature wires in the operation of power lines allows increasing the capacity of lines and, as a rule, reducing operational costs. An optimal utilization of the power line load capacity depends on the precise determination of the permissible current loads. The values of permissible currents and steady-state temperature are the main parameters of the line operating mode, affecting the strength and sag of the conductor. The temperature of the wire depends on weather conditions and current load. There are methods for determining the temperature and permissible currents for widely used traditional wires such as AC. They are partially outlined in the EIS (Electrical Installation Standard) and the standard of PJSC FGC UES (Federal Grid Company of Unified Energy System) of 2013. However, there is lack of studies in new types of wires. The paper considers the effect of weather conditions and load on the temperature and real-power losses in insulated and high-temperature wire, and solar radiation is under special consideration. For comparison, we present the results of calculations on traditional AC wires. The research shows that solar radiation, being taken into account, provides an increase of real-power losses of about 2 % with the given values of load and weather conditions. Calculations of permissible current values according to the developed technique for classical AC wires reveal a high coincidence with the values from PJSC FGC UES standard. The relative error is within two percent, and the proposed method is more generalized. It allows simultaneous analysis of both uninsulated and insulated wires. Due to the widespread use of self-supporting insulated wires, power industry experts can use the developed software in the design and operation of modern power lines to optimize capacity.
