Conclusion:
The 25KV single phase based AC traction system
with the droop based single phase inverter controlled
topology is discussed and the results are inferred. The
proposed topology with the droop characteristics has
maintained the DC link voltage constant and also due to
the droop characteristics the voltage at the AC traction
side for both the inverters are said to be satisfactory.
