In order to ensure that the railways remain a sustainable transport mode into the future, it is essential to improve the reliability and stability of train operations and railway systems. Functional failures in power supply systems significantly affect train operation: the RTRI has therefore been tackling the issue of improving reliability of power supply systems. This paper describes recent power supply technology research focusing on research geared to contribute to reducing failures and accidents on the railway system.
