Review of Catenary Icing on High-Speed Railways: Characteristics, Impact and Countermeasures
摘要
Abstract
The pantograph–catenary system (PCS) is the only path for electrified railway trains to acquire energy. Catenary icing during winter is a common natural phenomenon
which usually leads to the deterioration of the current quality and severely affects the operational safety of trains. To address the effects of complex and harsh environments on the PCS
this study reviews and outlooks the problems of catenary icing from the three main aspects: the characteristics of catenary icing
the impacts of icing and the countermeasures. Firstly
the mechanism and characteristics of catenary icing
including the growth mechanisms
evolution patterns and prediction models are investigated. Secondly
the impact of catenary icing on pantograph–catenary current collection and catenary galloping is analysed
and new technologies for real-time icing monitoring are discussed. Lastly
key technologies for catenary anti-icing
de-icing and active matching strategies are introduced. This review addresses the challenges of catenary icing and summarises the current research progress
providing a valuable foundation and practical guidance for advancing future studies in this field.
