Railway applications - Current collection systems - Validation of simulation of the dynamic interaction between pantograph and overhead contact line

Simulation techniques are used to assess the dynamic interaction between overhead contact lines and pantographs, as part of the prediction of current collection quality. This European Standard specifies functional requirements for the validation of such simulation methods to ensure confidence in, and mutual acceptance of the results of the simulations.
This standard deals with:
-   input and output parameters of the simulation,
-   comparison with line test measurements, and the characteristics of those line tests,
-   comparison between different simulation methods, and
-   limits of application of validated methods to assessments of pantographs and overhead contact lines
This standard applies to the current collection from an overhead contact line by pantographs mounted on railway vehicles. It does not apply to trolley bus systems.

5.1 Typical application
One of the purposes of the application of this standard is to inform the process for seeking authorization for
an OCL or pantograph design. In Annex C, Figure C.1 shows the route through to assessment of an OCL
system in accordance with the ENE TSI [1], and Figure C.2 the assessment of a pantograph in accordance
with the LOC & PAS TSI [2], for European Interoperability.
NOTE Other applications, not related to TSI authorizations (e.g. research, technical development, etc), may
require a different process.
5.2 Overview of the validation process
The theoretical study of the dynamic interaction between pantograph and overhead contact line by
computer simulation makes it possible to obtain much information about the system and to minimize the
costs of line tests.

SIST EN 50318:2019
EN 50318:2018
In order to be used with confidence the simulation method shall be validated. The validation for a simulation
method shall be done in a process described in Figure 1.
A simulation method validated according to this standard, shall be considered for application to overhead
contact line/pantograph combinations and conditions only within the limits of validity defined in 10.3.
A new validation shall be made when the conditions to apply simulation are outside the limitations defined
in 10.3 for existing validations.
The validation for a simulation method shall be done with the steps which are shown in Figure 1. The steps
are:
1) A first validation step shall be done by a “desktop assessment” in accordance to Clause 11. The most
relevant reference model data shall be chosen from the reference models in Annex A for the conditions
for which validation is required.
NOTE This desktop assessment will improve the confidence in the simulation method. As Annex A cannot cover
all possible solutions and combinations a choice from this subset is necessary.
For validation of simulation methods implemented for new technologies in ways that are totally different
from the current state of the art, and which are not able to use models with the data according to
Annex A, the “desktop assessment” may be omitted.
2) The final assessment shall be done by a “Line Test Data Validation” based on test results according
to 10.1 to demonstrate the accuracy of simulation according to 10.2.
Annex B provides data sets from line test measurements in accordance with EN 50317 to allow for a
validation for a given model within the limitations according to 10.3.
If the accuracy according to either 10.2 or to 11.4 cannot be achieved then the simulation method shall be
improved according to 6.3 for pantograph model adjustments and according to 7.3 for contact line model
before revalidation.

6 Modelling of the pantograph
6.1 General requirements
A pantograph model shall describe the dynamic characteristics of a pantograph, regarding interaction with
overhead contact lines, in the frequency range of interest.
Commonly used pantograph models are:
– mass – spring – damper – models (lumped parameter models);
– transfer function models;
– multi-body models;
– physical pantographs, when hardware in the loop (HIL) is adopted.
The pantograph may be modelled with one or more dimensional geometry, depending on the phenomena
to be investigated.
For the modelling of active pantographs the characteristics of control and the dynamic characteristics shall
be available.
Aerodynamic effects on the pantograph shall as a minimum be considered by enhancing the mean contact
force as a function of speed.
6.2 Input data requirements
6.2.1 General
Depending on the modelling method and the individual pantograph characteristics, the relevant parameters
appropriate to fully describe the pantograph shall be available for simulation.
These parameters shall take into account other dependencies (operation height, stagger, nonlinearities,
frequency), as required.
Common parameters of pantographs are:
– kinematics;
– transfer function;
– natural frequencies;
– mass distribution;
– degree of freedom of joints;
– damping characteristics;
– spring characteristics;
– friction values;
– stiffness;
– bump stops;
– location of application of the static contact force;
– location of application of the aerodynamic forces.
NOTE Aerodynamic forces usually depend on the orientation, operation height and position of the pantograph
and the type of train.

SIST EN 50318:2019
EN 50318:2018
6.2.2 Mass – spring – damper – models (lumped parameter models)
For mass – spring – damper – models (lumped parameter models), the following input is required:
– mass values of a minimum of two discrete mass elements;
– stiffness characteristics connecting the discrete masses, including any nonlinearity (if applicable);
– damping characteristics connecting the discrete masses, including any nonlinearity (if applicable);
– friction values (if applicable);
– bump stops (if applicable);
– application points of static and aerodynamic forces.
6.2.3 Multi-body models
For multi-body models, the following additional input is required:
– definition of all parts of the model including mass distributions, inertia characteristics, flexibility (if
applicable);
– kinematics, describing transmission of movements, kinds of joints and their position and limitations (if
applicable);
– internal forces applied to the system and their application points for springs, dampers and friction
elements;
– application points of static and aerodynamic forces.
6.2.4 Transfer function models
For transfer function models the following input is required:
– an analytical definition of the Laplace transform function, e.g. zeros and poles inside the frequency
range of interest, between the vertical displacement of the contact point and the contact force.
6.2.5 Hardware in the loop
Hardware in the loop uses the pantograph in its final configuration on the test rig. Aerodynamic effects shall
be implemented as an adjusted static contact force.
6.3 Validation of pantograph models
The validation of the pantograph models shall be carried out by comparison of the dynamic properties of
the pantograph model with those of the real pantograph as measured with a pantograph test rig. The
comparison shall be carried out using the same principle as used in the procedure “Calibration of the
measurement system” defined in EN 50317:2012, 7.5.
The test shall be carried out with the pantograph of interest and with its extension at a typical height inside
20 % to 80 % of the working range, as defined in EN 50206-1. The force shall be applied centrally to the
pantograph head.
The results are usable for 20 % to 80 % of the pantograph working range. Values outside this range require
additional investigations.
This test shall be carried out at the predicted mean contact force appropriate to the maximum design speed
for the pantograph. The mean contact force shall fulfil the requi

83 1 Scope
84 Simulation techniques are used to assess the dynamic interaction between overhead contact lines and
85 pantographs, as part of the prediction of current collection quality. This European Standard specifies
86 functional requirements for the validation of such simulation methods to ensure confidence in, and mutual
87 acceptance of the results of the simulations.
88 This standard deals with:
89 – input and output parameters of the simulation,
90 – comparison with line test measurements, and the characteristics of those line tests,
91 – comparison between different simulation methods, and
92 – limits of application of validated methods to assessments of pantographs and overhead contact lines
93 This standard applies to the current collection from an overhead contact line by pantographs mounted on
94 railway vehicles. It does not apply to trolley bus systems.

262 5.1 Typical application
263 One of the purposes of the application of this standard is to inform the process for seeking authorisation
264 for an OCL or pantograph design. In Annex C, Figure C.1 shows the route through to assessment of an
265 OCL system in accordance with the ENE TSI [1], and Figure C.2 the assessment of a pantograph in
266 accordance with the LOC & PAS TSI [2], for European Interoperability. Note that other process flows will
267 be applicable for other purposes, such as research, technical development, etc.
268 5.2 Overview of the validation process
269 The theoretical study of the dynamic interaction between pantograph and overhead contact line by
270 computer simulation makes it possible to obtain much information about the system and to minimise the
271 costs of line tests.
272 In order to be used with confidence the simulation method shall be validated. The validation for a
273 simulation method shall be done in a process described in Figure 1.
274 A simulation method validated according to this standard, shall be considered for application to overhead
275 contact line/pantograph combinations and conditions only within the limits of validity defined in 10.3.
276 The validation for a simulation method shall be done with the steps which are shown in Figure 1. The
277 steps are:
278 1. When the conditions to apply simulation are outside the limitations defined in 10.3 for existing
279 validations a new validation shall be made.
280 2. A first validation step shall be done by a “Desktop Assessment” in accordance to Clause 11. The
281 reference model data shall be chosen from reference models in Annex A as most relevant for the
282 conditions to validate for.
283 NOTE This Desktop Assessment will improve the confidence in the simulation method. As Annex A cannot
284 cover all possible solutions and combinations a choice from this subset is necessary.
285 For validation of simulation methods implemented for new technologies in ways that are totally different
286 from the current state of the art, and which are not able to use models with the data according to
287 Annex A, the “Desktop Assessment” may be omitted.

288 3. The final assessment shall be done by a “Line Test Data Validation” based on test results according
289 to 10.1 to demonstrate the accuracy of simulation according to 10.2.
290 If the accuracy according to either 10.2 or to 11.4 cannot be achieved then the simulation method shall be
291 improved according to 6.3 for pantograph model adjustments and according to 7.3 for contact line model
292 before revalidation.

295 6 Modelling of the pantograph
296 6.1 General requirements
297 A pantograph model shall describe the dynamic characteristics of a pantograph, regarding interaction with
298 overhead contact lines, in the frequency range of interest.
299 Commonly used pantograph models are:
300 – mass – spring – damper – models (lumped parameter models);
301 – transfer function models;
302 – multi-body models;
303 – physical pantographs, when hardware in the loop (HIL) is adopted.
304 The pantograph may be modelled with one or more dimensional geometry, depending on the phenomena
305 to be investigated.
306 The characteristics of control and the dynamic characteristics of active pantographs shall be available for
307 the modelling method.
308 Aerodynamic effects on the pantograph shall as a minimum be considered by enhancing the mean
309 contact force as a function of speed.
310 6.2 Input data requirements
311 6.2.1 General
312 Depending on the modelling method and the individual pantograph characteristics, the relevant
313 parameters appropriate to fully describe the pantograph shall be available for simulation.
314 These parameters shall take into account other dependencies (operation height, stagger, non-linearities,
315 frequency), as required.
316 Common parameters of pantographs are:
317 – kinematics;
318 – transfer function;
319 – natural frequencies;
320 – mass distribution;
321 – degree of freedom of joints;
322 – damping characteristics;
323 – spring characteristics;
324 – friction values;
325 – stiffness;
326 – bump stops;
327 – location of application of the static force;
328 – location of application of the aerodynamic forces.
329 NOTE Aerodynamic forces usually depend on the orientation, operation height and position of the pantograph
330 and the type of train.

331 6.2.2 Mass – spring – damper – models (lumped parameter models)
332 For Mass – spring – damper – models (lumped parameter models) following input is required:
333 – mass values of a minimum of two discrete mass elements;
334 – stiffness characteristics connecting the discrete masses, including any nonlinearity (if applicable);
335 – damping characteristics connecting the discrete masses, including any nonlinearity (if applicable);
336 – friction values (if applicable);
337 – bump stops (if applicable);
338 – application points of static and aerodynamic forces.
339 6.2.3 Multi-body models
340 For multi-body models following input is required:
341 – definition of all parts of the model including mass distributions, inertia characteristics, flexibility (if
342 applicable);
343 – kinematics, describing transmission of movements, kinds of joints and their position and limitations (if
344 applicable);
345 – internal forces applied to the system and their application points for springs, dampers and friction
346 elements;
347 – application points of static and aerodynamic forces.
348 6.2.4 Transfer function models
349 For transfer function models the following input is required:
350 – an analytical definition of the Laplace transform function, e.g. zeros and poles inside the frequency
351 range of interest, between the vertical displacement of the contact point and the contact force.
352 6.2.5 Hardware in the loop
353 Hardware in the loop uses the pantograph in its final configuration at the test rig. Aerodynamic effects
354 shall be implemented in an adjusted static force.
355 6.3 Validation of pantograph models
356 The validation of the pantograph models shall be carried out by comparison of the dynamic properties of
357 the pantograph model with those of the real pantograph as measured with a pantograph test rig. The
358 comparison shall be carried out using the same principle as used in the procedure “Calibration of the
359 measurement system” described in EN 50317:2012, 7.5.
360 The test shall be carried out with the pantograph of interest and with its extension at a characteristic
361 height inside the working range. The force shall be applied centrally to the pantograph head.
362 NOTE 1 The results are usable for the whole pantograph working range with the exception of the extreme values.
363 This test shall be carried out at the predicted mean contact force appropriate to the maximum design
364 speed for the pantograph. The mean contact force shall fulfil the requirements of EN 50367:2012 for the
365 designated speed.
366 Measurements of the applied vertical force (F ) and the resulting vertical acceleration at the contact
applied
367 point (a ) shall be taken applying sinusoidal excitations at frequencies from 0,5 Hz up to 20 Hz in
head
368 0,5 Hz steps.
369 The intervals may be reduced at resonant frequencies.

370 The amplitude of excitation shall be high enough to overcome the static friction in the pantograph.
371 NOTE 2 An amplitude of the higher of ± 15 % of the mean contact force or ± 20 N usually gives representative
372 results.
373 Based on the measurements of the applied force and the acceleration at the contact point, the measured
374 apparent mass (m ) in kilograms shall be determined for the frequency range of interest:
