Voltage Unbalance Problems and Solutions for Electrified Railway Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 comparing the results of their unbalance and current negative sequence contribution factors.

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...
