き電回路の短絡故障発生時に運転を継続できる単独運転の静止形周波数変換装置の制御

In this paper, we describe the control of electronic frequency converters (EFCs), which enables them to continue independent operation in the event of a fault, which is necessary to replace all the frequency conversion facilities in the Tokaido Shinkansen to EFCs. To continue independent operation of the EFCs under faults, we have developed a new overcurrent suppression control scheme applied to the three-phase AC input and output EFCs. We confirm through simulations that the new control suppresses fault current effectively and enables the EFCs to continue operation through a series of operations in which short-circuit faults occur at the feeding circuit, and the circuit breaker interrupts the circuit at the location of the fault following its occurrence and re-closes it after a short interval.
