Abstract

This research focuses on studying harmonic disturbance conditions that have the potential to arise at DC traction substations caused by non-linear loads, namely rectifiers. In the DC railway traction substation system there is a rectifier component whose function is to convert AC power to DC. The aim of this research is to determine the system power quality when varying loads occur on the rectifier. The method used is to simulate a DC traction substation system model and measure its power quality parameters such as voltage, power factor, and total harmonic distortion index under several loading conditions. The results show changes in the total harmonic distortion (THD) value linearly with the rectifier loading. THD values that exceed the standard are at loads above 80%.
