Active Control of Trolleybus Current Collection Systems (ACTCCS) Researcher: Min Chen Supervisors: Dr Christopher Ward Dr Ella-Mae Hubbard Loughborough University UKACC PhD Presentation Showcase Dr Peter Hubbard

UKACC PhD Presentation Showcase Slide 1 Introduction   Novel idea of ACTCCS for next generation trolleybus and E-motorway system Next generation urban trolleybus Future E-motorway system and trolley-lorry Single overhead line Solo pantograph rod Automatic de-&re-wiring No complicated wires at crossroads, no switches Flexible in operation

UKACC PhD Presentation Showcase Slide 2 Motivation and Approach John J. Gulon The Toronto Trolleybus, 2002 S eHighway system Siemens, e-highway and hybrid lorry on the test since 2012   Still keep hundred years’ style trolleybus in the future ?   Does e-Highway system have a bright future ?   Research approach is advanced: (a) New idea of catenary- pantograph, (b) Dynamic modelling, and (c) Active control

UKACC PhD Presentation Showcase Slide 3   Bouncing phenomenon of catenary-pantograph Simulation of Hybrid Non-linear Model

UKACC PhD Presentation Showcase Slide 5 Conclusion & Future work   Conclusion: (a) Novel new idea: ACTCCS with Single overhead line/Solo pantograph would be an option for future trolleybus and E- motorway (b) Hybrid Non-linear Model is applicable to catenary-pantograph system of the future trolleybus and E-motorway   Future work: (c) Active control Active catenary-pantograph modelling and simulating Sensitive and actuation systems design Control algorithm and system design Slide 4
