Because of using the nonlinear high-power, single-phase, multi-step full wave or bridge rectifier electric locomotive in electrified railway, the electrified railway traction power supply system has serious power quality problems, which affect safe operation of the electrified railway and impact the local power grid adversely. Aiming at the electrified railway power quality problems, a homogeni...

With the development of economy and the progress of science, the proportion of electrified railway load in the power gird has been keeping on increasing, which impacts the short-term forecasting in load a lot, therefore, it is very important to analyze short-term load of electrified railway forecasting. This paper analyzes the power gird load-forecasting considering the influence of the electri...

This paper analyzes necessity of synthesis control of power quality aiming at characteristics of traction power supply system for electrified railway. According to the fact that the existing power quality control, the measure and means were introduced, analyzed and compared in detailed. From reliability, technology and economy point, the project of synthesis Control was put forward on power qua...

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...

A load flow and short circuit fault simulation of AC electrified railway distribution systems is presented with DIgSILENT PowerFactory software. Load flow of electrified railways distribution system with concerning multi train lines and dynamic characteristics of train load is studied for different time laps. The dynamic characteristics of train load in starting and braking conditions with diff...

Induction motor structures in DC electrified railways with their dynamic performance are studied. Characteristics of the current, voltage, electrical and mechanical torque and active and reactive power in accelerating, normal and regenerative braking are investigated. The characteristics of the induction motors used for Tabriz urban railway are simulated with PSCAD/EMTDC software proving the in...

For studying the response to transients caused by lightning and other electromagnetic disturbance sources, electrified railway systems can be represented as a system of multiconductor transmission lines (MTL) above a finitely conducting ground. The conductors present in this system would be wires for traction power supply, auxiliary power, return conductors for traction current, the tracks, and...

Voltage and current unbalance problems of power networks due to AC electrified railway systems are studied and their influences such as the voltage unbalance factor and the current negative sequence contribution factor injected to the network are calculated. Several methods can be used for reducing the power quality unbalance problems which have been proposed and the best of them is chosen by c...

BACKGROUND High-speed railway (HR, Electrified railway with service speed above 200 km/h.) noise and conventional railway (CR, Electrified railway with service speed under 200 km/h.) noise are different in both time and frequency domain. There is an urgent need to study the influence of HR noise and consequently, develop appropriate noise evaluation index and limits for the total railway noise ...
