In these days, Korea Railway apply simple catenary system to general lines and high speed lines of Korea Electric Railway. Circulation Current in catenary system frequently bring undesirable consequences. Namely, the Connector wire has many problems according to a flow of excessive circulation (or traction current) and a sudden rise of temperature on catenary when electric car or locomotive is running in high speed. The occurrence of events by the load increasement do considerable damages to peoples, organizations and systems. In this paper, we proposed the improved changes on the catenary system of a improvement and change of a messenger wire protector, improvement of connector wire,s institution angle and of a replacement the connector wire with a dropper. A case of Circulation Current continually has broken out in Yongdungpo Electric Office's own bailiwick. By or through the medium of these obstacles, we have further use of many studies and considering countermeasures. Therefore, we have to deal with the question in design and execution of catenary system for High Speed Railway because we will spend a lot of time and more money for maintenance than for construction of that.

In electric railway system, potential of rail has been risen, for return-current flows through rail. The magnitude of rising voltage is different to railway feed system, ground admittance of rail and the load current. If rising voltage of rail is large, electric shock can be occurred to passengers and maintenance-worker. In this paper, we estimate the rising voltage of rail in high speed railway system and check the safety to human beings.

Harmonic current originating from electric locomotives can be magnified due to the impedance characteristics of power supply circuit and bring about various problems. That is, electromagnetic interference with communication lines, operational trouble in signaling, overheat and/or vibration in power capacitor, mis-operation in protection relay and so on. Therefore, the exact assessment of the harmonic current flow must be undertaken at design and planning stage for the electric traction systems. For these reasons, this study propose a new approach to model and to analyse traction power feeding system focused on system response to current and voltage harmonic(PART I ). Measurements of harmonics are also performed for railway power supply systems under normal operation. Spectrum and distortion analyses in measurement data are variously described in PART II

Currently in Korea, the simple catenary type overhead contact line system is being applied to both conventional lines and high speed lines of electric railway, and circulation current flowing into the catenary system frequently bring undesirable consequences. Namely, the connector wire has many problems according to a flow of excessive circulation current and arc current on catenary when an electric train runs at high speed. This paper presents the development and application of a real-time data acquisition system designed to measure the electrical characteristics of an overhead catenary system in electric railways. The developed system is capable of storing data of a 25 kV power source in a live wire state through a telemetry environment. The field test results show that the proposed technique and the developed system can be practically applied to measure characteristics of current of an overhead catenary system.

Along with response of the Climactic Change Convention, the government is demanding a measuring and reporting system for green-house gas emission and energy consumption on the railroad sector in order to make a transition to a low carbon green railroad system. According to the plans to electric railway line and increase the number of electric rolling stock, the electric consumption is increasing more than the consumption of diesel. Therefore, the development of monitoring device for green-house gases became important issue. In this study we developed a prototype of the monitoring system for estimating electric consumption. This study is expected to make accurate GHG emission inventory and be used to have confidence of emission factor.

Recently, the study for development of system having affinity for environment is on investigation. This issue is also applicable to transportation system. This paper suggested the inductive power transformer used for the road/railway applied to contactless power transfer system. The two secondary windings, large gaped magnetic structure and horizontal alignment between primary and secondary coil for that transformer approach a process for improvement of contactless power transfer system performance.

This paper represents the application of the Static Var Compensator(SVC) on the electric railway power supply system. The purpose of the electric equipment can be summarized as to improve electrical power quality and to maintain the voltage. This paper shows that the SVC is necessary for voltage compensation in the railway power supply system and verify effectiveness of the SVC through the simulation. In this paper, the case studies were performed with the various line length and train position.

Electric railroad transformer of a supply of Operation power of DC electric cars is intense fluctuation of load and flows the only big short-circuit current as a accident of the power system. it is a peculiarity more severe than general power transformer. Consequently, researches the properties about the rectifier mold transformer of DC substation and applies with data of safety of the electric railroad transformer. This paper analyzed a failure mode, the accident occurrence scenario and the be latent dangerous unit against the rectifier mold transformer of DC railway system.

This paper was showed evaluation method and technical items for measurement test of new catenary system of Honam(Daejeon - Mokpo) conventional railway electrified. This line have tested by three type new electric rolling stocks in order to test construction quality and operation safety of a new catenary system with speed-up than conventional speed. We have some important experiences through measurement test of catenary system by new device installed on train roof.

The pure electric braking system need to be developed to stop the electric train to zero speed by electricity. This system has advantages like reduction of weight, maintenance cost, noise, and dust generated by disk friction. Therefore, we will study this system for Korean urban transit system.
