Smart Traction Power Supply Systems for High-speed Railways

Given the increasingly busy railway networks, increased axle loads, and railway speeds,modern railways and urban transport systems require smart and energy-efficient tractionpower supply products and solutions to ensure safe, reliable, and environmentallysustainable operations. Based on the latest development and achievements of China'straction power supply system, Smart Traction Power Supply Systems for High-speedRailways focuses on the latest research into smart traction power supply systems. Startingfrom the concept of smart technologies, it describes the structure and functions of smarttraction power supply systems, including smart power supply and transformation facilities,smart power supply operation and maintenance management systems, smart power supplydispatching systems, and high-speed communication networks. This book covers boththeory and the implementation, methods, and case studies of wide area protection, selfhealingreconstruction, fault prognosis, health assessment, and power supply dispatching. - Discusses what is meant by the term smart traction power supply systems and technology trends- Reviews the new concept of the traction substation- Describes how to develop smart traction power supply systems
