Abstract In this paper, we propose an active controller for high-speed pantograph in order to improve the transient response. Electrical power is delivered from a catenary to the train via a pantograph and thus it is very important to regulate the contact force between catenary and pantograph. By regarding the catenary displacement as an unknown disturbance input and analyzing the frequency response from the disturbance to contract force. we present an active controller that utilizes the lead compensator and resonant controller. It is shown by the computer simulation that the substantial improvement in transient response can be achieved by the proposed controller.
