The recent environmental protection trend requires more strict energy saving, therefore every transportation system should reduce energy consumption to the minimum value. High-efficiency operation system, energy saving and CO2 emissions shall be addressed as important issue in railway system. These issues are the most essential factors of railway, compared to major public transportation system. Recently, saving energy in the electric railway system has been studied. For such new energy saving, the Energy storage system is considered for saving energy. Energy saving is possible by efficient use of regenerated energy. Regenerated energy is recycled amongst vehicles by mean of charge and discharge corresponding to powering and braking of electric vehicle operations. This energy saving contributes to cut CO2 to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Recycling regenerated energy demonstrate significant effect on peak cut of consumption energy in railway substation. Absorption of excess energy avoids regeneration failure due to high traction voltage. This paper presents effects by applying the energy storage system to SeoulMetro Line 2.

Online monitoring system is becoming an essential element of railway traction system for utilized to condition based malignance management and various techniques currently employed in railway traction system. Among the various techniques, it is efficient to detect partial discharge signals by electromagnetic wave detection in order to detect insulation fault of rectifier. Although VHF (Very High Frequency), UHF (Ultra High Frequency) sensors were adopted to detect partial discharge of power facilities, due to characteristics of urban railway, excessive noise occurs from 500 MHz to 1.5 GHz on UHF bandwidth. In this paper a new measurement system able to monitoring the conditions of power facilities on DC substation in metro was studied and set up. The system uses UHF sensors to measure the partial discharge of the rectifier due to electric faulting and dielectric breakdown. Comparison and estimation for performance of SHF sensor which had devised to detect partial discharge signal of urban railway rectifier has conducted. In order to estimate performance of SHF sensor, we have compared the sensor with existing UHF sensor on sensitivity upon frequency bandwidth generated by pulse generator, and also we have verified performance of the SHF sensor by detection results of partial discharge signal from urban railway rectifier.

전기철도는 전차선을 통해 차량을 구동할 수 있는 전력을 공급하며, 공급된 전류는 선로 및 접지망을 통해 변전소로 귀환한다. 전기철도 구간에서 철도차량의 운행에 따라 사용된 부하전류는 귀환회로인 궤도를 통해 변전소로 유입한다. 철도차량에서 사용되고 있는 전력변환장치 때문에 부하전류에는 고조파가 함유되고 이러한 고조파 전류가 열차제어시스템에 영향을 주지 않아야 한다. 본 논문에서는 신규로 건설된 전기철도 구간에서 철도차량 운행에 따라 발생되는 고조파가 연동장치에 영향을 주는 지 확인하기 위하여 시험한 결과를 제시하고 있다. 신호기계실에 설치되는 연동장치에 철도차량 운행에 따라 고조파 영향이 있는 지 확인하기 위하여 본 논문에서의 시험은 철도차량이 운행되는 선로변 설비에서 연동장치로 연결되는 부분에서 수행되었다.

최근 들어 국내 전기철도가 고속 대용량화되고 새로운 전력반도체 기술이 전력변환장치에 채용되면서 이로 인해 AT급전계통에 전압강하 등 전력품질 문제가 대두되고 있다. 지금까지 급전계통의 전압강하 대책으로는 직렬콘덴서(SC)를 주로 설치/운용하였으나 기술적인 한계로 인해 충분한 효과를 달성하지 못하고 있으며 고조파 공진현상도 새롭게 문제시 되고 있다. 또한 신규 전기철도 건설에 따른 전철변전소 위치확보 문제와 운행선로에서의 수송량 증가에 따른 열차 증량편성 및 시격(열차운행시간 간격)단축으로 인한 부하 중대가 예상되고 있으며, 급전사고로 인한 인근 전철변전소로부터의 연장급전 운용 등도 고려해야 하므로 이에 따른 급전시스템의 전압강하 및 전력품질 보상 대책이 요구되고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 효과적인 보상대책 설비의 하나로 TSC방식 SVC를 전기철도의 AT 급전시스템에 적용하는 방안을 검토하고 PSCAD/EMTDC를 이용하여 시뮬레이션을 통해 확인하였다.

We performed an safety evaluation on constructing of a common grounding system for electrical railway in view of its efficacy and technical fit. In order to compare the conventional grounding method, which has been individually conducted, with the common grounding with all ground wires connected in common to the counterpoise buried below the surface of the earth in parallel with rail, we set up scenarios with several cases of fault and load conditions in Chungbuk railway sections with the common grounding system. Based on models for railway conductors including the grounded system, line Parameters of railway power system are computed. The circuit model for power system with up and down lines, auto-transformers and railway substations is used to compute impedances of counterpoise and substation ground net. For each scenario with faults and operation conditions of railway, the induced potentials on signal and communication lines are also computed. It is shown that the common grounding for Chungbuk railway is superior experimentally to the conventional method in three respects: (1) the lower rail potentials during operation of railway in line, (2) the lower rail potentials for short-circuit faults between catenary and rail, and (3) the lower stress voltages on signal and communication lines for short-circuit or ground faults. The analysis results confirm that the grounding system for electric railway is required to be built by the common grounding and be evaluated on its safety in design.

Urban DC railways have played an important role in urban transportation, and railway operation and energy management have been emphasized to be important to achieve maximum efficiency from existing infrastructure. Fast, accurate DC railway power flow analysis is required to operate a DC railway efficiently, and this paper proposes a novel methodology to analyze the DC railway power network by implementing the participation factor (PF). The PF concept consists of a correlation between the vehicle and the substation, as explained using zones based on the position of the vehicles running on the route. Then, the DC railway powerflow is calculated using the PF concept. Finally, the usability of the proposed method was validated via case studies with actual railway operation data, and we discuss some of the advantages of the suggested methodology.

논문에서는 도시철도의 변전소의 최대수요전력을 줄이기 위한 새로운 방법으로 OLTC(:On Load Tap Changer)를 갖는 변압기의 사용을 제안한다. 국내의 대부분의 도시철도는 전동차에 필요한 전력을 다이오드 방식으로 정류하며 DC 1500[V]로 공급한다. 변전소가 병렬로 연결되어 있기 때문에 수전전압이 상승하면 정류기 전압도 상승하게 되고 변전소의 최대전력도 증가하게 된다. 시뮬레이션 결과를 통해 본 논문에서 제안하는 방법이 최대수요전력의 증가를 상당히 제한할 수 있음을 보인다.

This paper proposes the optimal operation of ESS (Energy Storage System) in the substation of urban railway in an economical point of view. Since the load patterns of urban railway have different characteristics with the general power demand pattern, the characteristics motivate us to develop the optimal operation algorithm for ESS under Korean electricity billing system. We also introduce two different ESS operation strategies for peak load shaving and electricity consumption charge minimization respectively, and formulate each scheme. Historical data from Namgwangju substation are used for economical comparison of the strategies. The results show that the proposed algorithm is the most cost-effective ESS operation scheme among the strategies and reduces around 5 percent of electric charges compared to the charge without ESS operation.

Electric car tract plays the role of supply high electric power to the electric car from the substation by using Pantograph of the electric car. It is always exposed to the external atmosphere, which results in quite substantial fluctuations in current and voltage during operation of electric car. This generates possibility of occurrence of accident at all times. Since range of wiring metallic globe installed on the catenary cannot achieve complete electrical contact, accidents are occurring due to circulating current caused by arc caused by incomplete contact due to occurrence of hairline fracture of Pantograph due to pressure or vibration of wiring. Furthermore, rapid increase in the operational current due to increase in the operational frequency of the electric car is causing erosion and short circuit of the metallic globe at the contact points. This study on arc is generated as current transmitted out of the substation courses through power line or wiring metallic globe other than the main circuit as the current is being collected at the electric car through feeder and feeder divergence device. Accordingly, since heat generated by the arc becomes the cause for generation of circulating current due to melting of metal or softening of metal due to increase in temperature accompanying increase in contact resistance, this research shall describe causes and measures against occurrence of circulation current.
