Power Quality Problems of the Electrified Railway and Its Control Methods

Abstract

In developing the railway industry, the electrified railway plays a significant role in improving the national economy. However, the electric railway power supply system will be affected by power quality problems such as negative sequence, harmonic, and voltage fluctuation in actual operation, which will affect the operation efficiency of the electric railway power supply system. Therefore, it is meaningful to take economic and effectual governance measures against the power quality problems of electrified railways and reduce various indicators to the range allowed by a national standard. This paper summarizes and sorts out the main problems and their causes of current electrified railway power quality and several existing mainstream power quality governance schemes. It analyzes their advantages and disadvantages and finally looks forward to the directions that can be optimized and improved in the future study of electrified railway power quality problems in combination with social reality. It has a specific guiding effect on future research on electrified railway power quality.
