CONTROL DEVICE AND METHOD FOR RECOVERING KINETIC ENERGY IN RAILWAY SYSTEMS

摘要

The railway system has a DC voltage catenary (20) connected to a rectifier bridge block (40) that is in turn connected to a transformer (30) joined to a three-phase AC grid (10). The device (50) has a first DC/DC voltage raising block (51) connected between the catenary (20) and an intermediate bus that is connected to a second DC/AC three-phase current generation block (52) joined to the transformer (30). The first block (51) allows raising the DC voltage of the catenary (20) generating a controlled voltage with which the second block (52) generates a high-quality three-phase current that is delivered to the grid (10).
