Modeling of Active Return Traction Power System for Mitigating Stray Current

Zero Resistance Converter System (ZRCS) is an effective method for mitigating stray currents in urban rail transit. However, powering the switch units (SUs) along a narrow metro tunnel can be a challenge. Therefore, this paper proposes the Active Return Traction Power System (AR-TPS). The operational principles and control strategies of AR-TPS are discussed in detail. A simulation-based comparison is conducted between AR-TPS and ZRCS to evaluate their effectiveness in stray current mitigation.

Abstract

Zero Resistance Converter System (ZRCS) is an effective method for mitigating stray currents in urban rail transit. However, powering the switch units (SUs) along a narrow metro tunnel can be a challenge. Therefore, this paper proposes the Active Return Traction Power System (AR-TPS). The operational principles and control strategies of AR-TPS are discussed in detail. A simulation-based comparison is conducted between AR-TPS and ZRCS to evaluate their effectiveness in stray current mitigation.
