When the electric tractions are stopped or driven through the falling slope way, it occured to surplus energy in the DC power line. At present, these energy are exhausted by breaking-system. The converter is not only capable of feeding energy back into the AC source during excessive regeneration. It is issued for this surplus energy regenerating system. These systems are faced with high voltage and high power for railway DC power regeneration. This paper proposed a parallel PWM converter how to solve these problem.

The power loss of large-capacity systems using single-phase inverters has attracted considerable attention. In this study, optimal switching sequence model prediction control at a low switching frequency is proposed to reduce the power loss in a high-power inverter system, and a compensation method that can be utilized for model prediction control is developed to reduce errors in accordance with sampling values. When a three-level, single-phase inverter using a switching frequency of 600 Hz and a sampling frequency of 12 kHz is adopted, the power factor is improved from 0.95 to 0.99 through 3 kW active power control. The performance of the controller is also verified.

Generally, an electric railroad feeding system has many problems due to the different characteristics in contrast with a load of general three-phase AC electric power system. One of them is harmonics problem caused by the switching device existing in the feeding system, and moreover, the time-varying dynamic loads of rail way is inherently another cause to increase this harmonics problem. In Korea power systems, the electric railroad feeding system is directly supplied from the substation of KEPCO. Therefore, if voltages fluctuation or unbalanced voltages are created by the voltage and current distortion or voltage drop during operation, it affects directly the source of supply. The trainloads of electric railway system have non-periodic but iterative harmonic characteristics as operating condition, because the electric characteristic of the electric railroad feeding system is changed by physical conditions of the each trainload. According to the traditional study, the estimation of harmonics has been performed by deterministic way using the steady state data at the specific time. This method is easy to analyze harmonics, but it has limits in some cases which needs an assessment of dynamic load and reliability. Therefore, this paper proposes the probabilistic estimation method, moments matching method(MW) in order to overcome the drawback of deterministic method. In this paper, distributions for each harmonics are convolved to obtain the moments and cumulants of TDD(Total Demand Distortion), and this can be generalized for any number of trains. For the case study, the electric railway system of LAT(Intra Airport Transit) in Incheon International Airport is modeled using PSCAD/EMTDC dynamic simulator. The raw data of harmonics for the moments matching method is acquired from simulation of the LAT model.

In this paper, analysis method for current collection performance based on real-time current of catenary system is proposed. An innovative method based on track-side of railway system is used for measurement of currents for overhead contact line during the collection with pantograph. The evaluation of a qualitative ratio for current collection performance were conducted using proposed algorithm under various conditions such as laboratory and track-side. To check the validity of our approach, we compared between calculation results from current of contact wire and measurement results from arcing of pantograph using simulator in laboratory conditions. The results show that the behavior of current collection performance were analysis from currents of overhead contact line in AC electric railway system.

Urban transit is a large scaled complex system which combines rolling stocks, power supply, signal communications, tracks & stations etc. KRRI develops nine key devices since July, 2007 as a part of the second phase of project on the standardization of urban rail transit system, which include information-communication system, station facilities, AC-DC current electric power system in urban transit. We promote the project under two directions, i.e. user-customer oriented standardization and strategic standardization for leading technologies in urban transit. In this paper, we present development plan of these key systems in view of system life cycle based on system engineering standards KSX ISO/IEC 15288 which supplies the common fundamental frame to describe the life cycle of artificial systems. System engineering process of KSX ISO/IEC 15288 are helpful to efficiently develop those key devices, although it is difficult to apply the standard identically to the key devices with the varieties and characteristics.

현재 전기철도에서는 고성능 유도전동기를 사용하고 있어서 열차속도제어를 위해 벡터제어를 이용하고 있다. 또한 최근에 인버터와 제어이론의 개발로 인해 다양한 방법으로 유도전동기 제어가 가능하다. 현재 유도 전동기를 사용하는 철도차량은 교류전동기를 이용한 역행, 역상제동 및 회생제동 등이 가능하다. 따라서 다양한 방법을 적용하기 위해서는 모터블록과 유도전동기의 모델이 필요하다. 유도전동기의 제어 방법으로는 가변 전압운전, 가변주파수 운전을 통하여 유도전동기의 토크와 회전수를 제어한다. 철도차량 추진시스템은 많은 서브시스템을 가지고 있어 속도제어 성능을 해석하기가 매우 복잡하다. 본 논문에서는 유도전동기를 사용하는 철도차량 추진시스템을 대상으로 Matlab/Simulink를 이용한 속도제어 특성을 분석하였고, 일정시간에 부하에 대한 외란입력응답 특성을 해석하였다. 또한 철도차량 추진시스템의 속도제어 특성을 해석하기 위해 전류, 속도, 자속추정기 및 유도전동기 모델을 제시하였다.

The harmonic impedance characteristic of a traction power supply system (TPSS) is necessary for taking actions to suppress the high-order harmonic resonances caused by AC electric locomotives. This paper proposes a controllable harmonic generating method (CHGM) for measuring the TPSS harmonic impedance by injecting harmonic disturbances of different frequencies and amplitudes into the TPSS. This method applies phase shifted pulse-width modulation (PSPWM) and ensures that the undesired sideband harmonics can be negligible while the desired harmonic is both controllable and adjustable. Multiple harmonics can be emitted at the same time. The implementation of the method is also presented. Simulations are carried out to validate the performance of the proposed method. Finally, experimental results on a 5 H-bridge converters platform verified the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed method.

At present, harmonic currents cause serious problems in power conversion system using the semiconductor switching device. Also some of the conversion system provokes harmonic currents against to the main power supply system and causes hindrances for the system. Main power impedance of the traditional LC passive filter method, influences on the filter characteristics and amplifies the harmonics when resonance phenomenon is occurred. And the traditional existing 2 level inverter systems show the limit in capacity of voltage and current in case of occurring sudden load change. So, to solve this problem active filter which uses cascaded H-bridge multi level inverter has been designed and ex-filter system circuits were totally investigated. With multi level active filtering system not only the size of filter but also the size of filter for transformer can be reduced by half and so as to the weight, while the capacity of inverter can be double sized and wave forms can be compensated exactly and precisely. Also by the benefit of the increase in rating capacity, the various currents owing to the load fluctuation can be dealt more steadily. In order to simulate the wave form of harmonics based on the measured data on the AC 25kV high speed Domestic Commercial railway, it was simulated with PSCAD/EMTDC and PSIM. Based on the results of this demonstration, the power supply system and inverter system would be more stable and also promoting its efficiency.
