Abstract: The traction power supply system (TPSS) is a critical infrastructure that provides electrified railways with power. However, its safe and reliable operation is threatened by earthquake disasters. Due to the strong randomness, uneven spatial distribution, and destructive risk of earthquake disasters, it is crucial to develop reasonable planning schemes to mitigate seismic risks of the system. This paper proposes a substation optimal siting method considering seismic risks. By establishing the chain circuit model of the TPSS and employing the dynamic power flow calculation method, the power loss of the system is obtained. By integrating the earthquake scenario simulation and substation fragility analysis, the substation seismic risk is calculated through Monte Carlo simulation. On this basis, the optimization model for substation site selection is formulated, aiming to minimize both the system power loss and the substation seismic risk while adhering to constraints of construction cost, operating safety, and geographical locations. The Pareto optimal solutions are then obtained. Simulation analysis based on actual system parameters shows that compared with traditional site selection methods, the proposed method can effectively mitigate system seismic risks while considering system power loss, providing theoretical bases for the disaster prevention and mitigation in the TPSS planning.
