Negative sequence compensation and regenerative braking utilisation in
railway traffic hub with MM-TER
Abstract
Railway transportation hub faces the challenge of low utilization of
negative sequence (NS) and regenerative braking energy (RBE). This paper
proposes a modular multilevel three-port energy router (MM-TER) with
integrated energy storage, including back-to-back modular multilevel
converter, energy storage system and isolated DC-DC converter. On this
basis, a coordinated operation control strategy of MM-TER is proposed.
The upper layer determines the operation mode and calculates the
reference power of each port. The lower layer realizes the fast tracking
of the reference power and the rapid response of the mode switching.
Finally, the case analysis shows that the MM-TER proposed in this paper
significantly improves the utilization rate of RBE and NS compensation.
