A successful guaranteed launch of a mainline diesel locomotive is one of the most important and urgent problems of the rolling stock operation. Improvement of the start-up system of the main diesel locomotive when using a supercapacitor allows multiple restarts of diesel locomotives, meaning that the operation of the diesel locomotive can be stopped several times without wasting fuel in idle operations. In this study, we simulated the electric starting circuit of a diesel locomotive with a block of supercapacitors using the Matlab Simulink program. The simulation results show that using only a supercapacitor in the start-up system is impossible. Even though the supercapacitor produces the required current and voltage, its operating time is extremely insufficient. Using a storage battery along with a supercapacitor in the diesel locomotive start-up system is most effective. This reduces the peak current load on the standard battery. The article suggests an effective principle for starting a mainline diesel locomotive and provides an effective circuit solution involving a supercapacitor. Based on the booster stabilizer scheme, a new scheme was modeled to study the successful launch of a diesel locomotive that has various start-up systems. Applying a supercapacitor in the start-up system of a main diesel locomotive is proposed and the results of its use are presented. In addition, this study defines the basic requirements for using a system based on a battery in conjunction with a supercapacitor. Characteristics such as the temperature range of the system are shown. Full article

Local over-temperature is one of the main reasons for boiler tube failures (BTF). By accurately monitoring and controlling tube wall temperature, local over-temperature can be avoided. Based on the measured flue gas parameters and numerical simulation, a method of thermal deviation calculation is proposed in this study for the on-line calculation of the tube wall temperature of boiler superheaters. The full-size three-dimensional numerical simulation was presented on the combustion in a pulverized coal-fired boiler of 1000 MW ultra-supercritical (USC) unit. A difference in the thermal deviation of the vertical direction was innovatively introduced into a segmented discrete model, and the thermal deviation condition conforming to reality was introduced into the calculation. An on-line calculation system developed based on the current calculation method was applied in a 1000 MW USC unit. The calculated local high-temperature zone was consistent with the actual over-temperature position and conformed to the law of the allowable metal temperature of the final superheater (FSH) serpentines segment. The comparison results showed that the calculated data by this method were more reflective of tube wall temperature change with boiler loads than the measured data. According to the calculated local over-temperature zone, the immediate warning response can effectively reduce the possibility of over-temperature BTF. Full article

Multilevel inverters (MLIs), both symmetrical and asymmetrical, have shown to be useful in a number of applications. Continuous improvements in output voltage waveform control and converter size reduction have made this practicable. The output voltage is managed using a low frequency modulation technique called selective harmonic elimination. This paper investigates an unique selective harmonic elimination (SHE) control that uses electromagnetic field optimization (EFO). The major features of the EFO guarantee that the targeted harmonics are removed via computation of the ideal angles, such as its easier compilation procedure and capacity for single-stage local and global searches. Additionally, a comparison with well-known algorithms namely Genetic Algorithm and Differential Evolution in accessing performance based on Total Harmonic Distortion demonstrates the EFO’s competence. The suggested algorithm’s performance has been tested using a symmetric cascaded H-Bridge MLI structure. In the MATLAB/Simulink environment, simulation analysis is performed, validating the viability of the created system. To further show the effectiveness of the suggested approach, experimental testing using low switching frequency control methods has been carried out in a dynamic setting. Full article
