Provision of electric power accessibility in the Nasiriyah and Basra region (Southern Iraq) due to the traction power supply system of the high-speed railway

Purpose: the non-traction power supply system represents an innovative approach to providing electricity for rail transport. It is based on the use of wires installed above the rails to transfer electricity to trains. This method has a number of advantages that can be especially valuable in the conditions of Southern Iraq The article describes various strategies aimed at ensuring the availability of electricity in the Nasiriyah and Basra regions located in the southern part of Iraq by using a non-traction power supply system designed specifically for high-speed rail. In addition to describing the technical aspects of the aforementioned system, the document also examines its implications in terms of meeting the energy needs of the region. By analyzing the technical aspects and assessing the consequences, this article contributes to the discussion on the implementation of a non-traction power supply system in the region and sheds light on its potential to solve the urgent problem of electricity availability in the Nasiriyah and Basra regions. Methods: for the successful implementation of the power supply project, the researchers applied a modeling system created using the ETAR program. This powerful tool provides the ability to determine the values of the electric load consumed by electric trains and non-traction loads and simulate the operation of the entire electrical infrastructure with high accuracy. The results of the study provide valuable information about complex and standardized AC systems, as well as network load calculation systems for traction and non-traction distribution wires. Parctical importance: research makes it possible to optimize the operation of the system, providing highly efficient processing of electricity.
