| Abstract |
AC electric railroad system receives its power from 3-phase transmission system. Since, trainloads are moving continuously, the voltages for the single load fluctuate in the train garage, and moreover, the fluctuating voltages generate high-order harmonics. This means the difficulty in maintaining power quality in the power system. Therefore, in this paper, the adequacy of SVC application is investigated for the train garage in KNR(Korean National Railroad). Voltage drop, voltage regulation, and unbalanced voltages are assessed in the train garage for the condition of power system both with SVC and without SVC. In this paper, PSCAD/EMTDC is used for the above assessment items, and the results are compared with ones which was already designed in the field in practice for the train garage. As a result, the train garage using SVC improves power quality. |
