DC interface impedance shaping for DC/AC grid forming converters in railway applications

Among the different groups of stability issues that railway systems have to face are the electrical resonance instability phenomena. Within this group, one of the possible instability problems that appear is due to the constant power load (CPL) behavior of the traction and the auxiliary power system...

Within this group, one of the possible instability problems that appear is due to the constant power load (CPL) behavior of the traction and the auxiliary power system (APS) converters. This behavior interacts negatively with the variable impedance of the catenary and can cause catenary voltage fluctuations and compromise the stability of the railway line. In order to solve this problem, this paper proposes the use of a structured H 8 synthesis to design an ac voltage controller for the APS converter. The algorithm models the dc input admittance of the converter addressing three objectives: catenary stability, tracking of the ac output voltage reference, and robustness against unmodeled uncertainties. Experimental results with different types of loads (resistive and/or induction machine loads) demonstrate its compliance with railway standards and the modeling of the specified admittance.This work was supported in part by BRONTE Project under Grant SBPLY/21/180501/000147; in part by the Junta de Comunidades de Castilla La Mancha and European Union (EU) through European Regional Development Fund (ERDF); in part by ASTRAPE through the Comunidad de Madrid in the Framework of the Multiannual Agreement with the Universidad de Alcalá in the line of Action “Stimulus to the Research of Young Doctors,” within the V Plan Regional de Investigación Científica e Innovación Tecnológica (PRICIT) Framework Program under Project CM/JIN/2021-019; and in part by ERDF/EU under Project OPEMRES TED2021-130610B-C21, Project CRESIPS-PE PID2021-125628OB-C22, and Project MICIU/AEI/10.13039/501100011033.
