Summary
The fuel cell generation system converts fuel source to electricity in an electro
chemical process. The process of fuel cell generation is different from conventional
turbine engines. It can generate the electricity without burning the fuel and running
pistons or shaft, and does not have revolutionary machine, so have fewer efficiency
losses, low emissions and no noisy moving parts.
Traction power supply systems have a lot of power quality problems, because of
moving and concentrated train loads. Fluctuated voltage and current in this system
can be compensated by fuel cell generation connection as a high power density
allows fuel cells to be a relatively compact source of electric power, beneficial in
application with space constraints.
In this paper, a fuel cell system and traction power supply system has been
modelled by PSCAD/EMTDC to analyse its electrical characteristics. The power
quality of traction power supply systems with fuel cell generation has been
evaluated.
