Nowadays reactance method is being used as a technique for fault location in parallel feeding AC traction power system. However, implementation of this method requires a large number of field tests(ground fault) which is a huge burden on the operators. This paper presents a new estimation technique using quadratic interpolation to reduce number of times for field test and improves the accuracy of fault location. To verify a new technique, we solve AT feeding circuit and model it using PSCAD/EMTDC. Finally this paper conducts a comparative analysis of usefulness between a new technique and real field data.

A study on the iron-loss reduction of 110kW-class Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (IPMSM) for Light Railway Transit (LRT) is conducted. In general, the iron loss of IPMSM depends on the characteristics of core material and non-oriented electrical steel is used as a core material of IPMSM. In order to reduce the iron-loss of IPMSM, both non-oriented electrical steel and grain oriented electrical steel are applied as core material. Iron loss of 110kW-class IPMSM can be reduced approximately 40% comparing to an existing IPMSM by applying grain oriented electrical steel to the stator teeth.

The power supply system in Korean electrified railway has adopted AT feeding. If a fault occurs in some substation for any reason, the vicinity substation must feed electric power on the outage substation through catenary. So, the feeding distance grows twice of the normal state at extended feeding condition. If substation's feeding distance is longer than normal condition, the catenary impedance and train to supply electric power from the substation. Therefore, the severe voltage drop can occur and power supply shall be not allowed. This paper presents the model of compensator against voltage drop using multi-port network algorithm. Whole traction power supply system can be analyzed with this model. Computer simulation including this model is performed based on real train schedule and increased schedule in case studies.

This paper presents an experimental study on the optimal settings for the selected DC fault relay (50F) to improve the operating performance for the high-speed circuit breaker on DC feeding system which ensure safety within rolling stock maintenance depot. In this study, current supplied to overhead contact wire was calculated on 1 ms interval to analyze the correction values of DC fault selective relay for the operation of current supply cutout. Particularly, standards for the accurate detection of accidents between an electric railway vehicle and the electric power facilities are shown by investigating the optimal correction values for detection of fault current, and the results indicated that it takes about 213 ms for the DC fault selective relay(50F) to fully open. In the future, the correction values of DC fault selective relay suggested in this paper will be used as the reference values of protective relay for the safe operation of DC electric railroad system such as urban railway.

Nowadays, in metropolitan railroad, DC feeding system is being generally applied. In order to reduce damage of electro-chemical corrosion caused by stray current and leakage current, in DC feeding system, rail is used as negative-polarity return conductor for traction load current. However, it has problem of rail potential increase and there are no adequate measures to prevent it in domestic. The rise of rail potential leads to damage for human and equipments. To solve the problems, this paper presents fundamental theory and related standards about rail potential increase. And then, we analyzed field testing data and simulated a variety of operations by using PSCAD/EMTDC as an analysis program of power system. In addition, this paper suggests rail potential limit device and addresses how to the device. To verify the effect, simulation of DC feeding system before and after the application of the device is carried out in various cases.

The high-speed railway of catenary system, supplies a stable electric power supply to the train by satisfying the special conditions between pantograph and trolley wire, which operates more than 250km/h mutually sliding and feeding electric lines. According to Korean Railway Standard KRS PW 0026-13 (R), the standard for the grip strength of the dropper clamp in conventional line is established, but the high-speed railway line is not yet. When the grip strength of the dropper clamp is detached from the catenary line of the high-speed railway line, various problems may occur, such as damage to the pantograph due to the collision and arcing. In this paper, it is expected to be used as a basic data for establishing the durability criteria of the high-speed railway dropper clamp by verifying the dropper clamp on the Gyeong-bu and Honam high-speed line.

전기철도에서의 급전시스템은 레일을 귀선으로 사용하는 단상급전시스템을 사용하고 있다. 이에 따라 레일로부터 대지로의 누설에 의해 상당한 누설전류가 대지로 흐르게 된다. 대지로 흐르는 이 누설전류는 전자유도에 의해 선로 주변에 설치된 통신 케이블 또는 장치에 영향을 주게 된다. 더욱이 전기차의 견인시스템은 견인전동기를 제어하는데 있어서 스위칭 소자의 개폐에 의한 고조파 전류를 발생하고 있어 대지누설전류에 고조파 전류가 포함되어 흐른다. 본 연구에서는 전기철도 급전시스템에서 통신유도원인 대지누설전류에 따른 고려되어야 할 급전시스템 설계 파라미터를 시뮬레이션을 통하여 검증하였으며, 이 결과가 향후 급전시스템 설계시 기본적인 지침이 되어야 할 것이다.

경부고속철도 급전구간을 운행하는 KTX 고속열차는 싸이리스터 위상제어방식을 사용하는 대용량의 집중부하로 고속열차가 운행될 때 차량에서 발생되는 많은 고조파 전류가 철도급전계통으로 유입된다. 이러한 고조파 전류가 한국전력계통으로 유입되면 한전계통의 전압왜형율을 증가시켜 전력품질을 저하시키게 된다. 이에따라 모든 고속철도 변전소에는 고조파 전류 저감을 위한 필터설비가 설치되어 있다. 필터설비 설치에 따라 고속철도 급전계통으로 유입되는 고조파 전류와 전압왜형율 측정결과로 고조파 저감효과를 보인다.
