Compensation of negative sequence for a novel AC integrated power supply system of urban rail transit

Abstract With the large‐scale increasing demand for passenger transportation, the alternating current (AC) 25 kV traction power supply system (TPSS) of electrified railway is introduced into the construction of urban rail transit in China instead of the direct current (DC) TPSS. In order to suppress the negative sequence current and cancel the neutral section at the exit of traction substation of the AC TPSS, a novel AC integrated power supply system (IPSS) of the urban rail transit based on single‐phase static var generator (SVG) is proposed, which the capacity of SVGs can be further reduced. The topology of the novel AC IPSS is introduced. By defining the constraint factors of negative sequence current and reactive power compensated, the comprehensive compensation model of negative sequence current and reactive power of the novel system is established based on the corresponding standards, which the full compensation and satisfactory compensation can be achieved. The method of determining the compensation scheme and the control strategy are proposed. Taking the actual data as an example, the effectiveness of the compensation scheme is proved. In addition, the correctness of the control strategy proposed is proved by simulation and experiment.
