Abstract
Harmonic distortion and harmonic resonance problems have been widely concerned and reported in railway electrification systems (RESs) due to the harmonic injection from the nonlinear electric train, especially high-speed/high-capacity/large-power trains. This paper presents an overview of the harmonic and resonance problems in the RES, including harmonic problem composition, harmonic modeling, available influential factors assessment, harmonic resonance, and associated suppression methods. The harmonic problem mainly consists of the background harmonics brought from the utility system, resonance-region harmonics interacted by capacitive and inductive network elements, and characteristic harmonics generated from the switching process of the onboard power conversion system. The mathematical modeling and analysis methods are introduced, including frequency scanning analysis, S-domain analysis, resonance mode analysis, and modal sensitivity analysis. Available influential factors/parameters have been fully investigated against above-mentioned harmonic problems. Finally, different harmonic suppression methods have been compared and summarized in this paper.
