In modern technologically advanced world, power electronic based converters are extensively used. Among them DC to DC converters are majorly used in transportation system because of its increased efficiency and regenerative system. The railway traction system is eco-friendly, pollution free and largely used transportation system in the world. A review of different types of DC-DC converter, isolated, nonisolated and its recent application in railway traction system is presented here. This paper also covers its key features such as high voltage conversion ratio, ripple factor, galvanic isolation and efficiency performance of DC to DC converters.
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.
