SIMPLIFIED POWER CONVERTER FOR INTEGRATED TR ACTION ENERGY STORAGE

ABSTRACT:

In this project,

electri

c traction systems. This paper proposes a new power electronics topology that integrates the energy storage power elec tronics with those of the inverter drive system. This topology reduces weight and component count compared with previo us topologies but still allows the use of standard machines. Practical results from a laboratory test system are shown, an d indicative energy savings for a full-sized system are presented. A study on a City Class Tram on the public transportat ion system in Black pool, U.K., shows that clear energy savings may be made by employing ultra capacitor energy storag e with the proposed topology.

EXISTING SYSTEM LIMITATIONS:

In existing system used more number of switches in converter circuit.

Switching losses

Cost is high

PROPOSED SYSTEM MERITS:

In proposed system the maximum energy available during braking depends on the kinetic energy and hence the spee
d and loading of the tram. The actual energy that may be captured is a m ore complex function, depending on the power and energy rating of the storage system, as well as the time f unction driving cycle of the t ram over its normal route and the braking rate, due to the balance of energy recovered and the energy used to overcome mechanical losses.
