Review of Power quality issues for Traction system
نویسنده
چکیده
with increase in traffic and speed railway became one of the major load on supply grid .AC-DC convertor used in locomotive of traction system draws rich harmonics content current results in poor power quality and failure or missed operation of utility causing derating of grid and affect the reliability. This paper provide framework for issue like harmonics, voltage sage ,voltage unbalance, poor power factor and fliker which causes poor power quality and possible method to reduce them. there by improve the performance and enhancing the power quality of traction

Power Quality Conditioners for Railway Traction - a Review
Railway traction is a more stochastic heavy load connected system. Due to the usage of ac-dc converters and ac-ac converters, the various power quality issues become the major problems in the electric system. This paper presents a review on power quality conditioners suitable for Railway traction based on the configuration, components involved and on the technical and economic considerations. M...
متن کاملRating Reduction and Optimized DC-Link Voltage of the HPQC in Co-Phase Traction Power System
Electric traction trains are huge non-linear single-phase loads influencing adversely on power quality parameters on the grid side. Hybrid power quality conditioner (HPQC) has been utilized to compensate current unbalance, harmonics, and low power factor in the co-phase traction system simultaneously. By incrementing the traction load, the rating of the HPQC increases and may constraints its ap...
متن کاملPower Quality Improvement in Traction Power Supply Networks
AC railway traction loads are usually huge single phase loads. As a result, a significant amount of Negative Sequence Current (NSC) is injected into utility grid. Moreover, harmonics and consumption ofreactive power are further power quality problems that the supply network is encountering. In this paper, acompensation strategy with the aid of Railway Power Conditioner (RPC) is proposed to over...
متن کاملA Direct Power Feeding System for AC Railway Networks Using Modular Multilevel Converter
Abstract Traditional railway power supply systems impose substantial power quality problems (PQ) on the utility network, such as unbalance, harmonics and a large amount of reactive power. This paper proposes a topology based on three-phase to single-phase modular multilevel converters (MMC) to obviate these problems. The MMC based traction substations (TSS) are connected directly to the utili...
متن کاملPower Quality in Railway Traction and Compensation by Combining Shunt Hybrid Filter and TCR
This paper analyses the quality of electricity in railway traction. Power quality characteristics have been measured as a case study in a traction sub-station in Tamil Nadu, India, where 1400 KVAR capacitor bank is installed. The actual data has been obtained through direct supply of traction load. Harmonics and various power quality problems are generated through the load of current. The emerg...
