DC urban railway power system consists of DC power network and AC power network. The DC power network supplies electric power to railway vehicles and the AC power network supplies electric power to station electric equipment. Recently, because of power consumption reduction and peak load shaving, intelligent measurement of regenerative energy and renewable energy adapted on DC urban railway is required. For this reason, DC smart metering system for DC power network shall be developed. Therefore, in this paper, DC voltage sensor, current sensor, and DC smart meter were developed and evaluated by performance test. DC voltage sensor was developed for measuring standard voltage range of DC urban railway, and DC current sensor was developed as hall effect split core type in order to install in existing system. DC smart meter possesses function of general intelligent electric power meter, such as measuring electricity and wireless communication etc. And, DC voltage sensor showed average 0.17% of measuring error for 2,000V/50mA, and current sensor showed average 0.21% of measuring error for ${\pm}2,000V/{\pm}4V$ in performance test. Also DC smart meter showed maximum 0.92% of measuring error for output of voltage sensor and current sensor. In similar environment for real DC power network, measuring error rate was under 0.5%. In conclusion, accuracy of DC smart metering system was confirmed by performance test, and more detailed performance will be verified by further real operation DC urban railway line test.

when electric traction system used DC 1500V runs on decline of rail road track and slows down, dc voltage goes beyond regular voltage. In this case extra power is forcibly wasted by resister because rectifier of substation and electric train including power converter and so on are out of order. This paper described a DC electric railway system, which can generate the excessive DC power form DC bus line to AC source in substation for traction system. The purpose of this study was the development of the regenerative inverter system which suppress extra DC-line voltage and regenerate the energy instead of using a resister. That is Developed regenerative inverter system returns the regenerative energy from the DC line voltage to the utility. In addition, the inverter can be compensate the harmonics caused by the power conversion devices used in the DC traction system.

Operator training simulator, within a training environment designed to understand the principles and behavior of the railway system with respect to operator's entries and predefined scenario, can provide a very strong benefit in facilitating operators' handling undesired operations. This simulator consists of computer system and applications, and the purpose of applications is to generate the power and voltage and analyze the AC substation and DC railway, respectively. This paper describes a novel approach to the new techniques for AC/DC hybrid simulation for the operator training simulator in the railway system. We first propose the structure the database of railway system. Then, topology processing and power flow using a linked-list method based on the proposed database, full or decoupled newton-rapshon methods are presented. Finally, the interface between the analysis for AC substation using a newton-rapshon method and the analysis for DC railway system using a time-interval power flow method is described. We have verified and tested the developed algorithm through the extensive testing for the proposed test system. To demonstrate the validity of the developed algorithm, comparative simulations between the proposed algorithm and PSS/E for the test system were conducted.

This paper deals with regenerative energy in railway system which one of the largest customer in terms of load capability. Unlike the other loads of power system, loads of railway systems change in time and space. It has a characteristic amount of generating regenerative energy by frequent starting and braking in railway system. Therefore, it is expected higher utilization in railway system than the other systems. The purpose of DC power supply simulation is analyzing backed energy, regenerative energy by each railway vehicle and substation. In this paper, regenerative energy utilization are analyzed using DC power supply simulation and it is performed changing major influence on the design such as the number of installing absorber, internal resistance value, no-load voltage value at substation or operating parameters at regenerative energy utilization. After simulating, results are compared and analyzed.

when electric traction system used DC 1500V runs on decline of rail road track and slows down, Dc voltage goes beyond regular voltage. In this case extra power is forcibly wasted by resister because rectifier of substation and electric train including power converter and so on are out of order. This paper described a DC electric railway system, which can generate the excessive DC power form DC bus line to AC source in substation for traction system. The proposed regeneration inverter system for DC traction can be used as both an inverter and an active power filter(APF). As a regeneration inverter mode, it can recycle regenerative energy caused by decelerating tractions and as an active power filter mode, it can compensate for harmonic distortion produced by the rectifier substation. In addition, electric traction system products harmonic current and voltage distortion and reactive power because power converter is used so regeneration inverter normally runs such as active power filter(APF) for improving power quality. From the viewpoint of both power capacity and switching losses, the system is designed on the basis of three phase PWM inverters and composed of parallel inverters, output transformers, and an LCL filter.

Urban DC railways have played an important role in urban transportation, and railway operation and energy management have been emphasized to be important to achieve maximum efficiency from existing infrastructure. Fast, accurate DC railway power flow analysis is required to operate a DC railway efficiently, and this paper proposes a novel methodology to analyze the DC railway power network by implementing the participation factor (PF). The PF concept consists of a correlation between the vehicle and the substation, as explained using zones based on the position of the vehicles running on the route. Then, the DC railway powerflow is calculated using the PF concept. Finally, the usability of the proposed method was validated via case studies with actual railway operation data, and we discuss some of the advantages of the suggested methodology.

본 논문은 직류전기철도 급전시스템에서 누설전류와 변전소로부터 공급되는 전류의 분포에 대하여 다루었다. 일반적으로 직류전기철도 급전시스템에서는 운행용 레일을 귀로 전류(부극성)의 도체로 사용하고 있으며, 이러한 조건은 추가적인 도체의 설치를 필요로 하지 않기 때문에 경제성을 고려한 것이다. 그러나 운행용 레일과 대지 사이의 저항이 작은 경우에는 대지로 흐르는 누설전류가 문제가 된다. 이 누설전류는 레일 주변에 설치된 지하 매설물에 영향을 미치며, 인체의 안전과도 관련이 있다. 따라서 직류전기철도 급전시스템에서 누설전류를 억제하는 것은 차량의 운전이나 안전 측면에서 중요한 문제이다. 본 논문에서는 직류전기철도 급전시스템에 대하여 CDEGS의 SPLIT 프로그램을 이용하여 레일의 전류분포를 시뮬레이션하였고, 레일의 누설저항 크기에 따른 누설전류 변동치를 도출하였다.

In recent years, many researches for DC power distributed system (PDS) are being preformed and the importance of the DC PDS is more and more emphasized. Furthermore, in the railway system, the DC PDS is used in subway station lighting, facilities, etc. In the DC PDS, DC bus voltage instability may be occurred by the operation of multiple parallel loads such as pulsed power load, motor drive system, and constant power loads. Thus, good quality and high reliability for electric power are required and voltage bus conditioner (VBC) may be used the DC PDS. The VBC is a DC/DC converter for mitigation of the bus transients. In this paper, adaptive controller is designed. The simulation results by PSIM are presented for validating the proposed control algorithm.
