The assessment of the possibility to use the potential of wind energy for power supply of the traction railway network in the context of the area of Karatau in the southern region of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the main wind-energy characteristics of the region are determined. An comparison of the program is presented with the results of statistical processing of the data sets on the long-term monitoring of the wind indicators of the investigated region with wind-speed determination during a month, mathematical expectations, law of the probability density of wind-speed distribution for a month, diagrams of wind distribution according to days within a month, instantaneous values (gusts) of wind speed for 24 h, and average wind speed by time of day for a month. A diagram of a traction power-supply system with distributed energy generation is given based on wind-power plants, their equivalent circuit and design including the wind generators, rectifying and inverting converter units, as well as the electric-energy accumulator with the direct current converter. Theoretical dependences are obtained to determined additional electric-energy losses in the traction network during redistribution of energy in the traction power-supply system from the main traction substations to energy-storage units at the “wind” traction substations during periods of an unfavorable wind situation in the region. The operation regimes of the electric-power facilities incorporated into the traction powersupply system and “wind” traction substations are described taking into account the pure traction mode from the wind electricity generator, power supply of trains from energy-storage units under conditions of the insufficient wind force, and energy-recovery regimes during braking of the trains, as well as with qualitative determination of their operating parameters. The main electrical characteristics of the equipment of the “wind” traction substations are determined.
