New Configuration of Traction Converter With Medium-Frequency Transformer Using Matrix Converters

IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics, 2011
This paper presents a new configuration of a main traction converter with a medium-frequency transformer (MFT) using matrix converters intended for locomotives and particularly for suburban units supplied by a 25-kV/50-Hz and/or 15-kV/16.7-Hz ac electrification system.

Pulse converters in traction applications

Power Engineering Journal, 1994
After over a century of electric traction, the virtual monopoly of the commutator motor is drawing to a close. Major advances in devices and techniques have made the application of polyphase induction motors to traction units a viable proposition. The authors describe how the use of pulse power converters in these units can improve the electrical ...

Using Bidirectional Converters in a Traction Drive

Russian Electrical Engineering, 2020
Modern means of power electronics are promoting a transition from standard locomotives with diesel motors and electric locomotives to traction drives with asynchronous motors and permanent magnet motors, as well as hybrid electric vehicles. This article focuses on unique aspects of power electronics related to hybrid electric vehicle applications.

Investigation of the propagation of harmonic distortion from traction converters into traction and transmission systems

2006 IEEE Power Engineering Society General Meeting, 2006
Modern locomotives that utilize pulse-width modulated power converters produce harmonics that propagate along the traction system and ultimately into the transmission system. This paper investigates the occurrence of this in a traction system in Central Queensland, Australia.
