Abstract

The parallel-feeding operation of an AC traction power supply system has the advantages of extending the power supply section and increasing the power supply capacity by reducing the voltage drop and peak demand caused by a train operation load. On the other hand, the parallel-feeding operation is restricted because of the circulating power flow induced from the phase difference between substations. Moreover, the power supply capacity is limited because of the unbalanced substation load depending on the trainload distribution, which can be changed by the train operation along the railway track. This paper suggests a Thyristor-controlled Phase Angle Regulator (TCPAR) to reduce the circulating power flow and the unbalanced substation load, which depends on the phase difference and the trainload distribution and provides a feasibility study. A dedicated control model of TCPAR is also provided, which uses substation power supplies as the input to control the circulating power flow and an unbalanced substation load depending on the phase difference and the trainload distribution. Simulation studies using PSCAD/EMTDC shows that the proposed TCPAR control model can reduce the circulating power flow and the unbalanced substation load depending on the phase difference and the trainload distribution. The proposed TCPAR can extend the parallel-feeding operation of an AC traction power system and increase the power supply capacity.

교류전기철도 급전시스템에 병렬급전방식을 적용할 경우, 전동차 부하로 인한 전압강하 및 최대순시부하를 감소시켜 급전구간을 연장하고 급전용량을 향상시킬 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 그러나 변전소 간에 위상차가 있을 경우 순환전력이 발생하기 때문에 적용이 제한되며, 전동차 운행에 따른 부하 분포에 따라 변전소 부하 불균형이 커져서 급전용량이 저하되는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 변전소 위상차 및 전동차 부하분포에 따라 변동하는 순환전력을 실시간 제어하고 변전소 부하 불균형을 해소하기 위하여 사이리스터 제어 위상조정장치 (TCPAR: Thyristor Controlled Phase Angle Regulator, 이하 TCPAR)를 적용하는 방식을 제안하고, 이를 구현하기 위한 검토를 수행하였다. 전기철도 급전 시스템에 TCPAR을 적용하기 위한 제어 기법으로서, 변전소 공급전력을 입력으로 이용하여 변전소 위상차 및 전동차 부하 분포에 따라 변동하는 순환전력과 변전소 부하 불균형을 효과적으로 억제하는 제어모델을 제시하였다. PSCAD/EMTDC를 이용한 시뮬레이션 결과, 전기철도 병렬급전에 제안한 TCPAR을 적용함으로써 변전소 위상차 및 전동차 부하분포에 따라 변동하는 순환전력 및 변전소 부하 불균형을 효과적으로 억제시킬 수 있다는 것을 확인하였다. 제안 기법을 전기철도 병렬급전에 적용할 경우, 병렬급전 적용 범위를 확대하고 급전용량을 증가시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
