| Abstract |
AC electric railroad system receives its power from 3-phase transmission system. Since, trainloads are changing continuously, the voltages for the single-phase load fluctuate in the train garage, and moreover, the fluctuating voltages generate high-order harmonics. This means that there is the difficulty in maintaining power quality in the power system. Therefore, a Static Var Compensator(SVC), which in general compensates the reactive power, is used in order to balance the trainload. In this paper, PSCAD/EMTDC is used for the analysis of harmonic generation in the train garage using SVC. The Total Harmonic Distortion(THD) of voltages is calculated using PSCAD/EMTDC dynamic simulation. As a result, the train garage using SVC improves power quality. |
