Abstract

In order to make high-speed trains (HSTs) lighter and more reliable, LC or LCL high-pass filters, which are widely adopted to mitigate high-order harmonics, are not installed in most of China HSTs. Therefore, the harmonic problem is a concern, because of the significant adverse impacts it has on the tractive drive system of the train and power quality of the utility system. The harmful harmonic distortions in high-speed railways (HSRs) are mainly caused by harmonic resonance and massive characteristic harmonics emission. This paper presents the results of harmonic assessment and harmonic filter design for a typical HSR line in China. Harmonic penetration analysis (HPA) is implemented and carried out to determine the harmonic distorted types for a wide range of possible train-operating conditions in a timetable. Both statistical field test and numerical calculation are used in passive filter design for HSRs. A C-type filter is designed here to address these typical harmonic distortions. The studies will be validated by detailed simulations based on the train timetable by counting the 95% index of the 24-h profile of harmonic results.
