A load flow and short circuit fault simulation of AC electrified railway distribution systems is presented with DIgSILENT PowerFactory software. Load flow of electrified railways distribution system with concerning multi train lines and dynamic characteristics of train load is studied for different time laps. The dynamic characteristics of train load in starting and braking conditions with different starting and stopping times and its moving positions makes the load flow complicated so there is a great need in studying the effects of electrified railways on load flow. Short circuit fault transients is also studied and simulated for both power system or traction distribution system and their effects on the operation of the train sets is investigated.

Recently, many people are interested in the electromagnetic fields(EMF), so we measured the strength of electromagnetic fields in the carriages of national railways and subways. We also measured on the platforms of national railways and subways. The strength of EMFs on the platforms of national railways was stronger than that of subway's platforms. EMF measured on the platform during railway carriage's arriving and leaving was stronger than that without carriages. The strength of the magnetic fields in the carriages of national railways was measured stronger than that of subway's carriage while national railway is run by AC while subway is run by DC. Also The strength of the subway line 8 were measured stronger two to three times than others.

In electric railways, high speed trains are normally supplied by AC 25kV power by contact between a pantograph contact strip and a contact wire. Advanced railway operating countries are actively researching various areas for the development of contact strips due to the reason that the properties of contact strips are one of the key factors of electric railways. This paper applied nano technology which is rapidly growing in many areas to the contact strip of a pantograph for current collection performance improvement considering speed up of electric railways. In detail, this paper proposes a method to dope nano particles of metal to a Korea Train eXpress(KTX) carbon pantograph and its measurement results. It is expected that the contents of this paper be used for preliminary study of high-speed railway current collection technologies.

The power quality of AC electric railways has become an issue worthy of more and more concern. Many active compensators based on power converters have been proposed, but with complex transformers or coupled branches. This paper presents a single-phase cascaded H-bridge multilevel active power filter (APF), which can directly connect to the 27.5-kV power supplies to deal with power quality problems. According to field measured data, the load characteristics are analyzed, and the system configuration and control system are designed based on the load characteristic analysis. Finally, simulation and experimental results verify the effectiveness of the proposed APF system, considering some problems such as the supply voltage fluctuations and transient inrush currents in AC electric railway systems.

In this paper, the details of electric traction voltages which are widely used for metro and mainline trains are presented. The problems encountered in catenaries, pressure of the pantograph pan, catenary contact cross sectional area, materials etc are well covered. Catenary height from the rail for main line, bridges, sheds etc is discussed. The catenary running details and switching of one catenary to another are explained. The dead zones in 3 phase grid as well as in DC are presented here. The pantograph structure, blades, shoes etc. for AC/DC EMUs are dealt. The schematic diagram for electrification systems used for railways are given and explained with typical electrical parameters of Indian Railways.

교류 철도차량에 사용되는 주회로차단기 (Main Circuit Breaker)는 전차선 전원을 차량 내 투입 또는 차단하는 기능을 한다. 일반적으로 주회로차단기는 판토그라프와 주변압기 사이에 위치하며, 주회로차단기의 동작시점에 따라 차량에 투입되는 전원의 위상이 변화하게 된다. 투입전원의 위상에 따라 차량 내 돌입전류, 서지전압 등의 형태로 차량 전기장치 내 의도하지 않은 과도현상이 야기될 수 있으므로, 주회로차단기의 동작은 전차선 전원의 위상각에 따라 능동적으로 제어되어야 한다. 하지만 주회로차단기는 동작신호 인가 이후, 실제 개폐 동작 시까지 일정하지 않은 동작지연시간이 존재한다. 따라서 동작 지연시간을 예측하고, 이를 고려하여 주회로차단기를 개폐시점을 제어하는 지능형 제어기가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 주회로차단기의 투입전원 위상 제어를 위하여 동작 메카니즘 및 동작 지연요소를 분석하였다. 그리고 차단기 및 구성품 별 반복동작시험을 통하여 동작 지연시간을 분석하고, 이를 예측하기 위한 이동평균 (Moving Average) 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 또한 지능형 제어기 개발 및 제작을 통하여 제안된 알고리즘을 구현하였으며, 주회로차단기와의 연동시험을 통하여 알고리즘의 성능을 검증하였다.

This paper introduces an overall system design of a real-time monitoring system that monitors condition of urban railway AC/DC transformers, disconnecting switches, circuit breakers, regulators, and GIS (gas insulated switchgear). For effective diagnosis of urban railway facilities we developed optimized sensors and application technology. The proposed system is combined with wireless technology, implementing remote real-time monitoring of urban railway facilities. The derived real-time monitoring system for power facilities in urban railway substations will be applied not only to diagnose low voltage DC (direct current) railways but also to diagnose design of small power facilities of skyscrapers and apartments.

This paper is on the development of a auxiliary power supply for the coach of Indian Railways. The auxiliary power supply system supplies the power for air-conditioners, air-compressors, lighting equipments, controllers, etc. It converts the input voltage, DC 110V which is supplied from battery, to AC 3${\Phi}$ 415V of 30kVA capacity. This is a low voltage-high current type converter system and largely consists of boost chopper and 3 phase inverter. Adopting a optimal control algorithm and simple power circuit, we realized the more reliable and competitive system for satisfaction of Indian Railway's strict requirement for vibration, temperature and dust. We completed the design, the manufacture and the field test of the system successfully and proved the system performance and reliability as a result of those tests.

Heating cables, widely used in office buildings, factories, streets and railways, deteriorate in electrical insulation during operation. The insulation deterioration of heating cables leads to electric discharges that can cause electrical fires. With this background, this paper dealt with a condition monitoring technique for heating cables by the analysis of discharge signals to prevent electrical fires. Insulation deterioration was simulated using an arc generator specified in UL1699 under AC operation, and the characteristic and propagation of discharge signals were analyzed on a 100 meter-long heating cable. Discharge signals produced by insulation deterioration were detected as a voltage pulse because they are as small as a few mV and they are attenuated through propagation path. The frequency spectrum of discharge signals mainly existed in the range from 70 kHz to 110 kHz, and the maximum attenuation of the signal was 84.8% at 100 meters away from the discharge point. Based on the experimental results, a monitoring device, which is composed of a high pass filter with the cut-off frequency of 70 kHz, a comparator, a wave shaper and a microprocessor, was designed and fabricated. Also, an algorithm was designed to discriminate the discharge signal in the presence of noise, compared with the pulse repetition period and the number of pulse counts per 100ms. In the experiment, the result showed that the prototype monitoring device could detect and discriminate the discharge signals produced at every discharge point on a heating cable.
