Abstract
The electrified railway has power quality problems such as three phases seriously unbalanced, large harmonics, and reactive power. In addition, the neutral section exists at each power supply section, which restricts the development of the high-speed and heavy-haul railway. This paper proposes a novel co-phase traction power supply system (TPSS) based on a YNvd balanced transformer, which can not only solve the above problems but also save one single-phase coupling step-down transformer, thus reducing the cost and space of the whole system. In addition, the voltage level of the conve...
