3. Feeding system The electrification system serves as the contact interface for current collection distribution of power.
The delivery of current and power between overhead catenary wire/wires and trains uses a device
such as bow collector, pantograph or trolley pole. Most Morden day EMUs use a pantograph, which
is mounted on the roof of EMUs which use an overhead system. The pantograph is spring loaded
which pushing up against the overhead catenary wire/wires, making contact with the wire to draw
electricity.
In our train drive system we have chosen to use an overhead catenary contact system which supplies
a single phase 25Kvac voltage at 50 Hz using a single catenary. In our design we had a choice
between four feeding system configurations:
Type Characteristics / Advantages Conceptual Drawings Simple
Feeding system
Most simplistic feeding system in the overhead catenary line configuration
Little interference with communication
Higher rail potential than other feeding systems
Booster Transformer
feeding system
A feeding system that uses a booster transformer
Effective in reducing induction to communication lines
Need a BT section
Complicated contact wiring in the BT section
Considerable impedance in the feeding system
Auto Transformer
feeding system
Suitable for supplying high electricity volume because it can carry feeding voltage (power sent out from a substation) higher than that carried by an overhead contact line
Can have a longer interval between substations than the other sections
Alexander Kumbley 11256714 , YeMon Aung 11461732, Si Thu KO 11260318
4 | P a g e
Approximately a 10-km interval between two auto-transformers
Coaxial cable feeding system
High inverse barometer effect is effective in reducing induction to communication lines
Do not need BT or other sections, simple conductor arrangement, suitable for narrow and small sections
Expensive cables
Reciprocating impedance is about 1/7 of the overhead contact line
Need to pay attention to resonance with the harmonic current
The reasoning behind choosing simple feeding 25Kvac system is that it is widely is various parts
countries such as Australia, France and the United Kingdom. Although this system has its advantages
there are also disadvantages of this system.
Disadvantages of simple feeding 25Kvac system:
Uses only one phase of the nominal 3-phase, inducing an imbalance on the three phase
supply.
Causes an unbalanced load, creating a huge power imbalance.
For the calculation of the current delivered by the overhead line, we used the IEC 60850 - "Railway
Applications. Supply voltages of traction systems" standardisation for the permissible range of
voltages allowed.

From research it was found that the EMUs have a general power classification of 3-4 MW. For our
calculations we have used 3.5MW of power. Therefore the current delivered via the overhead
catenary wire to the train is:

The simple feeder system uses the overhead catenary wires to supply power to train at 3.5MW. As
the rail is grounded, this is used as the return path allowing for the completion of the circuit.

4. Traction Transformer and Line Converter The electric power for railway traction delivered from the catenary wire is stepped down through a
traction transformer. The conventional power conversion process which is found in most modern
trains consists of a low frequency transformer allowing the current from the AC overhead catenary
wire to flow through the primary windings of the transformer to the rail creating a return path. The
stepped down voltage at the secondary winding/windings are fed into a four-quadrant line chopper
circuit, rectifying the AC voltage to DC voltage into a DC link voltage. The Low frequency transformer
provides galvanic isolation, changes voltage levels and operates with AC quantities.

For our model we are assuming an ideal transformer.

The transformer parameters are as follows:
Primary Voltage 25KV
Secondary Voltage 5KV
Primary winding turns 25
Secondary winding turns 3
Turns Ratio 25:3
The current and voltage from the catenary wire is supplied to the primary winding of the ideal
transformer. Therefore:

The secondary voltage and current are then feed into a Line converter where it is rectified to the
desired DC Link Voltage.
4.2 DC Link The DC Link term refers to a decoupling capacitor in the DC link. The DC link is an intermediate
capacitor circuit used intermediately between converter circuits where it couples different electrical
grids to one DC voltage. As both the converters that is used in our design are controlled, the
switching network on the motor side generates large transients at switching frequencies.
Alexander Kumbley 11256714 , YeMon Aung 11461732, Si Thu KO 11260318
9 | P a g e
The DC link help to reduce the transients in radiating back into the other converter circuits. In our
design we require a DC Link voltage of 3KV DC which is used to supply the Inverter circuit for the
motor along with a common point for the auxiliary power circuit. For the design of the DC link
capacitor is it important needed to consider the high frequency ripple current from the output. We
chose a Metallized Polypropylene (PP) Capacitor for our design. The WIMA DC LINK MKP 6 DC link
is sufficient for our use.
Special features which are incorporated with the DC Link:
Very high volume/capacitance ratio
Self-healing properties
With cylindrical aluminium case for bus bar mounting
Dry construction without electrolyte or oil
No internal fuse required
Negative capacitance change versus temperature
Very low dielectric absorption according to RoHS 2011/65/EU

The DC link will be in the line converter simulation.
4.3 Line Converter Below is the following flow diagram of the supply of power to the conversion of AC to DC to provide
a steady state 3KV DC voltage to the DC-Link. The line converter includes a single phase full
controlled bridge rectifier to convert the 3KV AC voltage to 3KV DC voltage and a Buck-Boost DC to
DC converter incorporating IGBTs (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) for high voltage switching.

4.3.1 Single phase controlled bridge rectifier A single-phase full converter bridge consists of four SCRs. Thyristor pair T1 and T2 is simultaneously
triggered and pair T3 and T4 is gated together. Voltage at the output terminals can be controlled by
adjusting the firing angle delay of the thyristor. There is a wider control over the level of dc output
voltage.
Alexander Kumbley 11256714 , YeMon Aung 11461732, Si Thu KO 11260318
11 | P a g e
The full bridge inverter consists of 4 SCRS T1, T2, T3 and T4. There are four different switch states
which apply to this circuit:
State Transistor Load voltage
1 T1 and T2 on + VDC, charging capacitor
2 T3 and T4 on + Vdc, charging capacitor
3 T1 and T3 on 0, control circuit should be designed to avoid this state
4 T2 and T4 on 0, control circuit should be designed to avoid this state
As stated above, the control circuit should be designed to avoid state 3 and 4 as this will cause short
circuit across the ac voltage source.
The graph below illustrates the switching periods of the transistors and the load voltage with respect
to the states of T1, T2, T3 and T4.
4.3.2 Buck-Boost A Buck-Boost converter is a type of switched mode power supply that combines the principles of the
Buck Converter and the Boost converter in a single circuit. The buckboost converter is a type of DC-
to-DC converter that has an output voltage magnitude that is either greater than or less than the
input voltage magnitude. The output voltage is of the same polarity of the input, and can be lower or
higher than the input. Such a non-inverting buck-boost converter may use a single inductor which is
used for both the buck inductor and the boost inductor.

5. Regenerative Breaking By using regenerative breaking, we can convert the energy of the train into usable power by
diverting the braking current into current rail or the overhead line. Then the power can be received
by another train which are connected to the line or sent it back to the grid. However, bank of
resistor is needed to be installed to absorb excess energy which is created if no other trains are
drawing power from the line.
The locomotive equipment is built on the main step-down transformer with more secondary
windings the four quadrant line side AC/DC converter, a DC link circuit and more DC/AC three phase
inverters which supply the induction traction motor. In motoring mode of operation, the train
receives the electric power through the overhead lines, through step-down transformer to the
AC/DC converter which is operated as controlled rectifier and the DC/AC converters which typically
operate as inverters. By regenerative, the induction motor operates as generator and DC/AC
converter (the motor side converter) becomes rectifier using the voltage from DC links. Also the
AC/DC converter (the line-side converter) becomes inverter and transfers the electrical power to the
grid.
Moreover, by using regenerative breaking, the overall energy efficiency of a vehicle can increase that
is increases vehicle range and cuts down on pollution related to electricity generation. It can also
increase the lifespan of friction braking systems, for instance, less use of traditional mechanical
breaks leads to less wear over time.

The main components are UCR-uncontrolled rectifier, AI-autonomous inverter, Rb-braking resistor,

The conditions for the motor being idle to exceed point n0 of torque-speed characteristic n=f(M),
which is required in regenerative breaking, cannot be satisfied (see Fig 2). However, AC traction
motors speed will be above no load speed n0 when the locomotive traction motor regenerative
braking is returned to energy supply system.

5.1 Equations of the Braking Process Initially the train runs on the horizontal path with the speed (vi), then the speed must decrease in
the range (vi Vf, Vf < vi) during a given time-interval (t*), with constant deceleration when the
train runs on a down-hill path.
The mechanical evolution during the braking interval (force, torque, speed, etc.) such as evolution of
the braking force Fbr(t), braking mechanical power Pmbr(t), train speed v(t), induction traction motor
torque Tm(t), motor rotor speed m(t).
For the electrical traction machine are imposed the evolutions of the braking torque (Tbr(t)=Tm(t))
and of the speed profile (mN(t)). Based on the fundamental equations of the induction traction
machine: nominal stator phase voltage in star connection (UsN) and stator angular frequency (sN),
nominal power (PN), nominal rotor speed (mN) and slip (SN), rotor angular frequency (rN), rated
motor torque (TmN), etc. and main parameters: stator and (reduced) rotor resistances (Rs, Rr), stator
and (reduced) rotor leakage inductances (Ls, Lr), magnetization inductance (Lm); the active loses are
neglected, the paper simulates the evolutions of the main induction machine variables during the
braking process (100 sec).
In order to generate the stator voltage (UsN), the motor side converter has to be supplied with the
nominal DC voltage (UDCN). The UDCN / UsN ratio will be kept constant therefore the value of the DC-
link can be determined.
The equation: U1 UDC / (1.41* ) will be used to estimate the input voltage (U1) of the line side
converter which is given by the secondary winding of the step-down transformer from the traction
power substation.

nN = 2900 rot/min; mN = 303.53 rad/sec;
UsN = 750 V;

6. Auxiliary inverter The concept of battery storage technology is to expand regenerative brake energy into high-speed
region and to stably supply DC power to the auxiliary power converter. Therefore, regenerative
braking becomes possible by using hybrid traction system electric train inverter control technology
and regenerated energy, temporarily stored in the batteries, can be used as auxiliary power for
acceleration.

8. AC Induction Motor In recent decades, the use of AC motors in railway has grown rapidly. The three phase induction
motor is the most commonly used type of traction motor in the railway industry. Some classical DC
traction motors are still using but they are decreasing in number.
The AC induction motor is a rotating electric machine designed to operate from a 3-phase source,
alternating voltage. The variable speed drives, the source is normally an inverter to uses power
switches to produce approximately sinusoidal voltages and currents of controllable magnitude and
frequency. The turns in each winding are distributed for a current in a stator winding to produces an
approximate sinusoidally-distributed flex density around the periphery of the air gap. Even three
currents that are sinusoidal varying in time, they displaced in phase by 120 from each other.

frequency f1fi parameters

Alexander Kumbley 11256714 , YeMon Aung 11461732, Si Thu KO 11260318
24 | P a g e
The most effective way of controlling the three-phase inductions is by changing frequency so that a
wide range speed control can be ensured and would only cause little additional losses.
Relative slip formula:
s = n1 (n2*n1)
where:
n1 the speed of the rotary field
n2 speed of rotor (rotor speed on load)
f1 main frequency; f1 = p*n*160 (p is the number of pole pairs)
f2 frequency of the rotor voltage; f2 = p*n*260 (p is the number of pole pairs). Then;
s = f1 f2*f1
Asynchronous motors rotor speed:
n2 = n1(1 - s) = 60*f1*p*(1-s)
Advantages of AC induction motors over DC motors
Compared to DC brush-type motor, it is more advantageous to use a three-phase induction
motor with standby AC power systems. While DC brush-type motor is simpler to supply with power
for operation but it construction has drawbacks. The DC motor has a mechanical commutator and
brushes which contact while moving relative to one another. Thus, these components are subject to
wear and needed to give periodic maintenances.
The drawbacks from DC motors are eliminated in the construction of a three-phase motor. It
has a simpler, brushless construction and therefore is highly reliable and requires relatively low
maintenance. For these reasons it can be operated at higher speeds than a brush-type motor and
has increased power to volume and weight ratio.
These advantages make the three-phase brushless motor more attractive than the brush-
type motor even though the brushless motor requires a more complex device/circuit to supply
power to it from a DC battery. The brush-type motor requires a relatively simple DC to DC converter
to power it, the three phase brushless motor requires a relatively more complex three-phase bridge
inverter to generate the rotating magnetic field which operates the motor.

secondary windings the four quadrant line side AC/DC converter, A DC link circuit and after that
