Expansion Planning of MRT Traction Substations by Dynamic Programming and Immune Algorithm

Mass Rapid Transit(MRT) plays a very important role for the city development,the investment cost is very expensive. It is necessary to derive the MRT system planning by considering the service reliability and performance index according to the forecast of annual ridership. With the less ridership as compared to Taipei MRT network, Kaohsiung MRT has to be developed to achieve the most cost effective investment of power supply and rolling stock planning.
This thesis is to investigate the proper expansion planning of traction substations (TSS) for an electrified mass rapid transit system. The motion equation of train sets is used to solve the mechanical power consumption at each time snapshot according to the operation timetable, the passenger ridership and various types of operation resistance. The mathematical models of power converters in traction substations for different operation modes have been derived. With all train sets operated along the main line, the AC/DC load flow analysis is performed to find power demand of all traction substations for annual system peak operation over the study period. The objective function is formulated by considering both the voltage drop of train sets and investment cost of traction substations as the equivalent cost of all feasible states of each year. By performing the dynamic programming (DP) and immune algorithm (IA), the expansion planning of traction substations to achieve the minimum overall cost has been solved by identifying the optimal capacity and locations of new traction substations to be committed at each year.
