Significant disadvantages in power quality especially the unbalance problem and neutral sections restrict the evolution of conventional traction power supply system. A new traction power supply system based on three-phase to single-phase converter is studied, which can transfer active power from three-phase grid to single-phase catenary. One catenary section could be utilized in the new traction power supply system instead of the multiple split sections in conventional system. Three-phase to single-phase converter is the core equipment of new traction power system. MMC (modular multilevel converter) structure of AC-DC-AC substation is proposed in this paper. To solve the problem of the capacitor voltage balancing in MMC, a parallel sorting algorithm based on field programmable gate array (FPGA) is studied. And the correctness and effectiveness of the algorithm are verified by experiments. In addition, it is inevitable that the AC grid voltage will be unbalanced caused by the fault in the new system. Therefore, this paper focuses on the analysis of the effect of the unbalanced grid voltage on the operating characteristics of the MMC system. Finally, the correctness of the theoretical analysis is verified by simulation.

Power quality and neutral section are two technical problems that hinder the development of electrified railway to high-speed and heavy railway. The co-phase power supply technology is one of the best ways to solve these two technical problems. At present, a V type connection traction transformer is widely used in a power frequency single-phase AC traction power supply system, especially in high-speed railway. In this paper, a new type of co-phase power supply system for electrified railway based on V type connection traction transformer is proposed. One single-phase winding in the V type connection traction transformer is used as main power supply channel, and three ports are used as compensation ports. Neutral section is no longer set with traction substation, and the train is continuously powered through. The independent single-phase Static Var Generators (SVGs) are used to compensate the three-phase imbalance caused by single-phase traction load. When necessary, the power factor can be improved at the same time. The principle, structure, control strategy, and capacity configuration of the technical scheme are analyzed in this paper, and the effectiveness of the scheme is verified by using the measured data of electrified railway. The advantage of this scheme lies in the universal applicability of the V type connection traction transformer, and the flexibility of the SVG device.

This paper deals with PFC-isolated Zeta converter fed LED drive to overcome the power factor problems. The proposed circuit topology consists of diode bridge rectifier and isolated Zeta converter with high frequency transformer. A single –phase supply is used to feed a DBR followed by a filter to avoid any switching ripple in DBR and the supply system. An isolated Zeta converter is operated to work under DCM mode. This combination of DBR and PFC converter is used to feed a LED drive. This converter is simulated in MATLAB platform. This converter provides better results such as unity power factor and less current harmonic distortion.
