Synthesis of the Battery Charging System of a Stand-Alone Electric Locomotive Using the Traction Converter

The paper presents the synthesis of the battery charging system of an electric stand-alone locomotive. The traction converter as boost rectifier is used together with a dedicated control strategy in order to obtain the unity power factor on the grid.

Summary:The paper presents the synthesis of the battery charging system of an electric stand-alone locomotive. The traction converter as boost rectifier is used together with a dedicated control strategy in order to obtain the unity power factor on the grid. Next, the entire system is analyzed under Simulink environment and the energetic performances are determined.
