Abstract

This paper proposes an advanced filter design to improve power quality of a head electric power (HEP) as a power conversion unit in centralized-power type electric railway vehicle. First of all, we have measured waveform of output power of transformer connected HEP to design the filter. Throughout experiment and simulation results, it is estimated that switching technique used HEP is advanced selected harmonic elimination PWM (SHEPWM) and the applied switching frequency is about 300Hz. In this paper, a filter to improve power quality considering estimated parameters is designed. As a result, the reduction of the magnitude of the overall harmonic is achieved and confirmed through simulations.

본 논문은 동력 집중식 철도차량에서 전력변환장치로서 객차용 전원공급장치의 전력품질을 향상시키기 위해 보완된 필터설계를 제안한다. 먼저, 필터설계를 위해 객차용 전원공급장치와 연결된 변압기의 출력전력 파형을 측정하였다. 실험 및 시뮬레이션 결과를 통해 스위칭 기법은 개선된 특정고조파 소거 펄스폭 변조이고 스위칭 주파수는 300Hz임을 추정하였다. 따라서 추정된 파라미터를 바탕으로 전력품질을 향상시키기 위해 필터를 설계하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과 전체적으로 고조파의 크기가 감소함을 확인하였다.
