Abstract

This paper represents the application of the Static Var Compensator (SVC) on the electric railway power supply system to compensate for the voltage drop. The high reactance of line and a heavy train load consume a significant amount of the reactive power which results the voltage drop. This paper shows that the SVC is necessary for voltage compensation in the railway power supply system and verify effectiveness of the SVC through the simulation by using PSCAD/EMTDC. In this paper, the case studies were performed with the various line length and train loads.
