The article analyzes the methods for calculating the actual capacity of leadacid batteries at different temperatures. The performed analysis showed that the assessment of the technical condition of batteries by the methods of rapid diagnostics should be applied with the mandatory consideration of the correction temperature coefficients for capacity, and the use of the considered methods for this purpose is undesirable, since it leads to significant errors at temperatures below 0°C. The article suggests possible ways to solve this problem.

Models for calculating thermal depreciation and remaining life time of windings insulation of traction transformers are reviewed in article. The article analysis of the voltage measuring transformers indications. The voltage measuring transformers are connected to the switch gear bus-bars 25 kV and windings of power transformers for calculating thermal depreciation and remaining life time. Voltage measuring transformers indications connected to the windings of power transformers prove an increase in the accuracy of assessing the winding insulation. Extending the service life of the winding with the greatest insulation wear increases the service life of transformers in modern conditions. Determination of the predicted service life of the corresponding transformer based on thermal wear of the winding insulation ensures their monitoring in operation.

Such SVGs have several flaws, such as increased power loss and higher cost price. The purpose of this article is the task of SVG enhancement, such as decreasing power losses in the traction network, as well as reducing its cost price. To achieve this, the power of the adjustable SVG is decreased by a certain value, and instead an unregulated filtering and compensating device is installed of the same power value, with resonance filters for 150 Hz and 250 Hz frequencies, thus forming a complex adjustable compensation and filtration system. The voltage at the substation and the catenary section points are measured, and depending of the voltage loss, several operation modes, such as «voltage stabilization» or «power loss minimization», are possible

It is not possible to store this electrical energy with the help of an electrochemical battery for a short braking time, sometimes in seconds. Automotive systems use supercapacitors to conserve energy during braking. On a simulation computer model in the Simulink SimPowerSystems, the simulation of energy recuperation when braking a car using a supercapacitor was carried out. The possibility of energy conservation in a short braking time, which is unavailable for electrochemical batteries, is shown.
