Traction Substation Electrical Main Connection Reliability Analysis

Abstract:

Traction substation reliability is of vital importance for railway transportation safety. To illustrate traction substation reliability, irreparable and reparable reliability models of three types of traction substation Electrical main connection have been established. Based on analysis of simple series and parallel reliability system, system irreparable reliability model is analyzed. The ways of how to get mean time to failure (MTTF) and mean time to first failure (MTTFF) of reparable system are achieved. By comparative analysis of the value of MTTF and MTTFF among three kinds of traction substation main connection reparable and irreparable system, some useful conclusions are found.
