Abstract
This paper proposes a high-speed maglev traction power supply system architecture integrating a supercapacitor energy storage system and dual active bridge converters to realize efficient regenerative braking energy recovery and cross-zone utilization. A bi-level optimization model is established, incorporating both operation scheduling and capacity configuration. The inner level formulates a rule-based energy management strategy that dynamically coordinates real-time power allocation among subsystems according to traction load operating characteristics. The outer level develops a multi-objective capacity configuration optimization model with the objectives of minimizing the total lifecycle cost and maximizing the regenerative braking energy utilization rate, and obtains the optimal capacity configuration scheme. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves an optimal system configuration, increasing the regenerative braking energy utilization rate to 99.36%, reducing the maximum demand by 20.11%, and lowering the total system lifecycle cost by 9.72%.
