In scope of an extensive project aiming at an advanced overall control scheme for traction vehicles taking amongst others grid interaction and stability into account, the steady-state and transient operation of a single-phase 50-kW, 16.7-Hz four-quadrant line-side converter are analysed in detail. This topology is hereby fed by a slip-ring induction generator (IG) with DC excitation, operating as railway-grid rotary-converter representation. In this paper the structure of the 50-kW test bench representing a railway grid and a traction vehicle and the used PC-based real-time control hardware are introduced. Despite the highly disturbed rotary converter output voltage measurement results verifying excellent operation are given for the line-side converter, whose PI-control scheme is described in detail. Hereby two different loads are used: resistor and motor inverter.","PeriodicalId":272748,"journal":{"name":"2009 Compatibility and Power Electronics","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129293974","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The most significant advantage of the T-source inverter (TSI) is its use of a common voltage source of the passive arrangement.

This higher electrical power demand has resulted in the increase of DC voltage levels in order to reduce the power losses and the wiring size by decreasing the current levels. Traditional protections, like electromagnetic circuit breakers, are not suitable for protection of high voltage DC systems. As a consequence new technologies like Solid State Power Controllers (SSPC) have been introduced. SSPC combine the functions of connecting loads to the main electrical bus and protecting the electrical installations from overloads and short-circuits. In order to analyse these new protection devices in the onboard Power Distribution System (PDS), models of SSPC have to be developed. This paper presents and analyses two different SSPC models. The first model is based on SSPC internal structure and the second model is based on the SSPC behaviour. Finally, the SSPC behavioural model has been validated within an experimental test bench using commercial SSPC.","PeriodicalId":272748,"journal":{"name":"2009 Compatibility and Power Electronics","volume":"113 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122436550","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The newly developed systems should aim at wide utilisation of renewable power sources and CO2-neutral technologies. This goal can be achieved by e.g. dissipated generation, or integrating DG into microgrids. The microgrids can be built using AC or DC current networks. Authors propose DC microgrid as a new idea for a small, balanced distribution power system. It has been designed to supply small towns and villages with electricity with high penetration of renewable energy resources. However, designing an optimal microgrid is not an easy task, due to the fact that primary energy carriers are changeable and uncontrollable, as is the demand. Traditional design and optimisation tools, developed for controlled power sources, cannot be employed here. Simulation methods seem to be the best solution. The microgrid consists of several devices, with most important among them - the power electronic devices.","PeriodicalId":272748,"journal":{"name":"2009 Compatibility and Power Electronics","volume":"83 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134423148","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In reality grid-voltage frequency and resonance frequency of the resonant circuit do not fit accurately: Manufacturing tolerances of resonant-circuit capacitor and inductance lead to an adjustment error and the railway-grid frequency moves within a defined intervall, due to the power-frequency control, independent from the European interconnected mains. In this paper implications of the adjustment error are analysed.
