Abstract

The heavy-haul flexible traction power supply system (HFTPSS), integrated with an energy storage system (ESS) and power flow controller (PFC), offers significant potential for improving energy efficiency and reducing costs. However, the state of ESS capacity and the uncertainty of traction power significantly affect HFTPSS operation, creating challenges in fully utilizing flexibility to achieve economic system operation. To address this challenge, a classical scenario generation approach combining long short-term memory (LSTM), Latin hypercube sampling (LHS), and fuzzy c-means (FCM) is proposed to quantitatively characterize traction power uncertainty. Based on the generated scenarios, and considering the energy balance and safe operation constraints of HFTPSS, a stochastic optimal energy dispatch model is developed. The model aims to minimize the operational cost for heavy-haul electrified railways (HERs) while accounting for the impact of online ESS capacity degradation on the energy scheduling process. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed strategy and model is validated using operational data from a real HER system.
