This paper proposes a new method reducing the maximum demand power of substations at urban railway by using transformer with OLTC(:On Load Tap Changer). Most of the domestic urban railway is rectified by a diode scheme, and supplies the electric vehicles in dc 1500[v]. Because the substations are connected in parallel, if an input voltage of a substation is increased, then the voltage of rectifiers is also increased, and which leads to an increase in the maximum demand of the substation. Simulation results show that increment of maximum demand power can significantly be limited using the method proposed in this paper.

The conventional method of improving the transient stability in a power system is the use of reactive power compensation devices, such as the STATCOM and SVC. However, this traditional method cannot prevent the rapid voltage collapse brought about by the stalling of the motor due to a system fault. On the other hand, the ESS (Energy Storage System) provides fast-acting, flexible reactive and active power control. The fast-acting power compensation provided by an energy storage system plays a significant role in enhancing the transient stability after a major fault in the power system. In this paper, a method of enhancing the transient stability using an energy storage system is proposed for power systems including a dynamic load, such as a large motor. The effectiveness of the energy storage system compared to conventional devices in enhancing the transient stability of the power system is presented. The results of the simulations show that the simultaneous injection of active and reactive power can enhance the transient stability more effectively.
