Flexible DC Traction Power Supply Systems in Urban Rail Transit: Design, Operation and Control is an essential guide from researchers working on the cutting-edge of the field, which provides quick, clear, and practical understanding of a critical technology for urban rail electrification. This book begins by clarifying the current standard for power converters, traction control, and energy systems for rail transport, before introducing the basic concept, configuration, and opportunities of flexible DC traction power supply systems in detail. Secondly, it provides a detailed guide to the operating principles and core functions in comparison to the traditional diode rectifier-based traction power supply system. Key techniques are analysed closely with attentive reference to the rail application context and appropriate case studies. The book closes with two full chapters of novel case studies from China, which support practical application and further development by readers. Working from foundational principles to real-world applications, Flexible DC Traction Power Supply Systems in Urban Rail Transit is a critical resource for energy and electrical engineers, researchers, and students developing the sustainable infrastructure of the future.
