Renewable Energy Sources Integration and Control in Railway Microgrid

The traffic rail increase implies an increase in the electric energy consumption. Hybridizing the railway substations with hybrid energy sources based on renewable energy sources and storage units connected to a dc bus may be a solution to contribute to the partial independence of energy producers in the sector of traffic rail. A smart control is highly recommended in order to avoid disturbing the traffic or the energy quality of railway lines. This paper proposes a reversible, self-adaptive, autonomous, and intelligent distributed generator connected to the catenary thanks to the dc-bus distributed control by the multiagent system. The results analysis has shown that the proposed control architecture can be a solution to face the issues related to the traffic railway issues.
