In order to overcome the power quality problems in AC electrical railway networks, the Railway Power Quality Compensator system (RPQC) is proposed and used effectively in a Traction Substation (TSS). The power rating of RPQC installed in every TSS is considerably large. In this paper, a RPQC capacity is studied and a compensation strategy with the aim of reducing installed capacity of RPQC is proposed. This method is implemented using of phase rotation in connections of Yd transformer and the Steinmetz-based Intelligent Control System (SICS). The proposed control method can significantly reduce the RPQC converters capacity and installation costs. The simulation results validate the proposed compensation strategy.

Abstract
In order to overcome the power quality problems in AC electrical railway networks, the Railway Power Quality Compensator system (RPQC) is proposed and used effectively in a Traction Substation (TSS). The power rating of RPQC installed in every TSS is considerably large. In this paper, a RPQC capacity is studied and a compensation strategy with the aim of reducing installed capacity of RPQC is proposed. This method is implemented using of phase rotation in connections of Yd transformer and the Steinmetz-based Intelligent Control System (SICS). The proposed control method can significantly reduce the RPQC converters capacity and installation costs. The simulation results validate the proposed compensation strategy.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
