교환기나 전송장치 등 각종 통신설비에 전원을 공급하기 위해서 정류기, 축전지 및 발전기 등의 전원설비가 사용되고 있다. 이들 중에서도 정류기는 통신설비에 직류전원을 공급하기 때문에 다른 전원설비 보 다도 신뢰성 및 안정성이 확보된 장치로 인식되어 왔다. 그러나 현재 사내전화국에 설치 운용중인 정류기는 교환 기별로 종류가 다양하여 유지보수에 어려움이 내재하고 있을 뿐만 아니라 통신망의 광대역화, 대용량화에 대처가 곤란하며 정류기를 전력실 또는 통신실에 집중해서 설치 운용하는 집중공급방식으로는 축전지의 만충전이 곤란하다. 또한 현재의 이러한 급전방식은 통신장치의 광대역화, 고도화 등 통신망의 급격한 발전과 함께 다음과 같은 문제점이 대두되고 있다. 첫째, 전력실에서 총괄하여 교류전력을 직류48V로 변환해서 급전하기 때문에 급전전류가 크게되고, 또한 전력실에서 통신실까지의 급전손실이 크다 둘째, 통신설비의 증감에 따른 전원설비의 증감이 어렵기 때문에 설비 가동율이 나쁘다 셋째, 전원설비의 고장에 의한 전화국 전체설비에 심각한 영향을 미칠수 있다 이러한 문제점을 해소하기 위하여 집중 및 분산급전방식으로 운용이 가능하며, 또한 모든 전원설비를 감시/제어하는 전원 집중관리 시스템과의 인터페이스 등이 가능한 정류시스템을 1997년부터 개발하였다. 본고에서는 신형 정류기와 기존의 정류기와의 성능 및 특성에 대해 비교하였고, 특히 경제성측면과 설치상련에 대해 비교분석 하였다. 또한 집중급전방식과 분산급전방식의 특성에 대해서도 서술하였다.

본 논문에서는 DC 전압을 이용한 전력IT 시스템의 활용을 연구하고 그 효율성을 입증하기 위하여 가정용 전자제품에 전력공급을 기존 AC공급원에서 DC공급원으로 변환하여 그 효율성을 비교하였다. 직류급전시스템은 교류급전시스템에 비해 전력교환장치의 교환단수가 적기 때문에 변환효율로 10%정도 고효율화 할 수 있음을 실험을 통하여 입증한다.

The AC electrified railway systems have the power quality problems such as the harmonic distortion, the reactive power and the three-phase imbalance because of the electrical load characteristics of locomotives, which are non-linear single-phase. These power quality problems have a bad effect on not only AC electrified railway systems but also other electric systems connected together. The RPQC (railway power quality conditioner) can compensate such power quality problems in the AC electrified railway systems. In this paper, a novel RPQC control method based on SRF (synchronous-reference-frame) control is proposed. The proposed RPQC control method can compensate effectively the harmonic currents, the reactive power and the load imbalance. The validity and the effectiveness of the proposed RPQC control method are illustrated through the simulations.

The parallel-feeding operation of an AC traction power supply system has the advantages of extending the power supply section and increasing the power supply capacity by reducing the voltage drop and peak demand caused by a train operation load. On the other hand, the parallel-feeding operation is restricted because of the circulating power flow induced from the phase difference between substations. Moreover, the power supply capacity is limited because of the unbalanced substation load depending on the trainload distribution, which can be changed by the train operation along the railway track. This paper suggests a Thyristor-controlled Phase Angle Regulator (TCPAR) to reduce the circulating power flow and the unbalanced substation load, which depends on the phase difference and the trainload distribution and provides a feasibility study. A dedicated control model of TCPAR is also provided, which uses substation power supplies as the input to control the circulating power flow and an unbalanced substation load depending on the phase difference and the trainload distribution. Simulation studies using PSCAD/EMTDC shows that the proposed TCPAR control model can reduce the circulating power flow and the unbalanced substation load depending on the phase difference and the trainload distribution. The proposed TCPAR can extend the parallel-feeding operation of an AC traction power system and increase the power supply capacity.

This paper describes the development of integrated simulator for traction power supply system with GUI (Graphic User Interface). This simulator consists of a lot of calculation modules such as TPS, time table, line constant, and power supply system analysis. Each module has input and output structure respectively. The proposed simulator is tested on both high speed railway line and metropolitan subway line. The test has confirmed the function of the developed simulator.

This paper presents exact Autotransformers(ATs)-fed AC electric Railroad system modeling using constant current mode for locomotives. An AC electric railroad system is rapidly changing single-phase load, and at a feeding substation, 3-phase electric power is transferred to paired directional single-phase electric power. As the train moves along a section of line between two adjacent ATs. The proposed AC electric railroad system modeling method considers the line self-impedances and mutual-impedances. The constant current mode model objectives are to calculate the catenary and rail voltages with the loop equation. When there are more than one train in the AC electric railroad system, the principle of superposition applies and the only difference between the system analyses for one train. Filially, this paper shows the general equation of an AC electric railroad system, and that equation has no relation with trains number, trains position, and feeding distance.

We verified the proposed equipment using the PSCAD/EMTDC and the calculation results from the proposed approach are widely described in the paper.

DC transit system has been adopted in the metropolitan area, Korea since 1974. Electric multiple (EMU) in this system always reiterates that acceleration and retardation. When EMU decelerates using electric breaking, regenerative power occurs. Regenerative power can be consumed in vicinity EMU on the same line or in resistor. If DC transit system has inverter for reusing regenerative power, Energy efficiency in DC transit system and the replacement cycle of brake shoe in EMU will be increased and dust due to mechanical braking decreased. This paper present the developed inverter for regenerative power and its test equipment. Test for developed inverter is performed at test equipment and is divided into three items, which are regeneration mode, active filter mode, and system link test.

In AC feeding system, the fault location is calculated by using ratio of current absorbed in the neutral point of AT(Automatic Transformer) or by measuring reactance. In this way, however, an estimation error can be happened due to the many reasons. In addition, for measuring currents in the neutral point of AT, other measuring devices and communication equipments are additionally required. In order to solve the disadvantages, this paper suggests a novel technique using the distribution ratio of catenary current. The proposed technique uses existing protective relays and measures catenary current. With the measured data, we can calculate the distribution ratio of catenary current and determine fault location. Through the simulated results, we derived the correlation between current ratio and fault location. Using this technique, additional equipments and expenses can be reduced. Besides, fault location can be determined more correctly.
