For efficient use of regenerative braking energy in traction supply system, a novel Energy-saving traction supply system is proposed in this paper, consisting of diode rectifiers with high-power PWM rectifiers. In this paper, a multiple topology with PWM rectifiers is given, as well as its control strategy. Also, based on the output characteristics of diode rectifier, a coordinated control strategy between diode and PWM rectifiers is proposed. At the end of this paper, results from simulation and experiment are presented, demonstrating that the novel traction supply system proposed will see its widely application in the future.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
