Flexible DC Traction Power Supply System in Urban Rail Transit

Flexible DC Traction Power Supply Systems in Urban Rail Transit: Design, Operation and Control

is an essential guide on the cutting-edge of the field that clarifies the current standard for power converters, traction control, and energy systems for rail transport before introducing basic concepts, configurations, and opportunities for flexible DC traction power supply systems.

Other sections provide a detailed guide to operating principles and core functions in comparison to traditional diode rectifier-based traction power supply systems.

This is a critical resource for energy and electrical engineers, researchers, and students developing the sustainable infrastructure of the future.

Key techniques are analyzed with attentive reference to rail application context and appropriate case studies.

The book closes with two full chapters of novel case studies from China that support practical application and further development by readers.

Working from foundational principles to real-world applications.
