Abstract

In this paper, real-time reactive power/power factor compensating equipment is suggested for improving power quality at electrical railway's substation in marshalling yard and designing optimal capacity of compensating equipment for actual apply at current marshalling yard. For this purpose, several kind of real-time reactive power/power factor compensating equipments are introduced and SVG(Static Var Generator) as optimal compensating equipment that is suitable for load characteristics of substation in marshalling yard is suggested. This paper shows proper simulations by suggested equipment using PSIM software and describe basic compensating principle and simulation results. Optimal capacity design for applying current marshalling yard is based on real measured power quality data. Power quality improvement that is performed by SVG as real-time reactive power/power factor compensating equipment is estimated at electrical railway's substation in marshalling yard. As reference, real-time reactive power/power factor compensating equipment is composed by voltage source inverter and DC capacitors.
