Its systematic analysis and inclusion of real-world case studies contribute to an in-depth understanding of how the system operates under varying conditions, equipping readers with guidance for effective implementation.This comprehensive book proves to be an invaluable resource for both academic learners and industry experts and fosters closer collaboration to benefit railway transport all over the world.

This book covers the basic scientific theory and related application technologies of the pantograph–catenary system, including research findings on pantograph/catenary contact resistance, pantograph interface thermal effect, laws and characteristics of current-carrying friction and wear, the main research methods for pantograph arcs, the effects of arcs on pantograph systems and onboard equipment, and the materials used for pantographs and contact wires. Given its scope, it offers a valuable resource for students, scholars, and development engineers alike. 

The relationship between pantograph and catenary is one of the three core aspects of the safe operation of high-speed electrified railways. The pantograph system provides electric power for the high-speed train through the sliding electric contact. As the train’s operating speed increases, the pantograph system enters a state of prolonged sliding/vibration, resulting in frequent arcs, electrode erosion, and increased wear. 

This book comprehensively and systematically introduces the research and application of digital twin operation and maintenance technology for high-speed train traction power supply system. The book is divided into six chapters, which introduce the digital twin architecture of high-speed train traction power supply system, digital twin modeling of power supply system, multi-physical field digital twin of train key equipment, digital twin of typical train scenarios, and digital twin operation and maintenance of train traction power supply system. This book is novel and focused, the whole book is oriented to the actual engineering problems, covering the theoretical frameworks, model building, data analysis, and application practice. It extensively describes digital twin modeling and intelligent operation and maintenance methods for high-speed train traction power supply systems, proposing a novel approach of digital twin intelligent operation and maintenance based on deep learning image recognition, aiming to ensure the safe operation of high-speed trains. It could be serve as a reference book for graduate students and professionals in rail transit and power engineering.
