Automation of operation of traction substation equipment
Abstract
Automation of operation of traction substation equipment
Incoming article date: 09.06.2025The development, implementation and continuous improvement of diagnostic systems for Russian Railways (RZD) infrastructure facilities are defined as conditions for ensuring reliable and safe operation. The current concept regulates the stages and directions of development of diagnostic systems for the period up to 2030, with a development perspective up to 2035. It is planned to create integrated, stationary and mobile monitoring and diagnostic systems.
The most optimal, from the point of view of the effectiveness of the diagnostic system, is to provide the ability to monitor diagnostic parameters with a given accuracy, automatically, without disabling equipment, in real time. This approach significantly simplifies operational control procedures. There is no need to change the condition of the equipment and power supply circuits. The number of personnel involved in carrying out diagnostic procedures is decreasing, as well as the influence of the human factor on the results is decreasing. The article discusses ways to automate the isolation control of Russian Railways infrastructure facilities.Keywords: diagnostic system, infrastructure, operational control, automation
