Abstract

Recent advances in power converter and energy storage technologies have the potential to enhance the power quality management, improve the utilization, and, consequently, reduce both capital and operational costs associated with electric railway networks. This thesis examines the new technologies and new uses of existing technologies and their suitability for integration into the AC traction power network. It includes a comprehensive comparison of the potential technical and commercial benefits of various technologies and topologies. The study is generally applicable to 25 kV or 50 kV electric railways fed from a utility grid with commercial models similar to the one described.
