| Abstract |
Topic is the presentation of a new generation IGBT Four-Quadrant-Converter for multisystem
rail vehicles. The Four-Quadrant-Converter is designed for light rail and mass transit vehicles.
These vehicles offer the possibility for a fast, comfortable and effective public transport from the
outskirts of cities, where usually heavy rail AC line voltage is existing, into the cities with DC line
voltage. The vehicle concept is presented as well as design aspects of the converter are treated. The
innovative control method, using least squares estimation approach, provides a fast and robust control
and has excellent steady state and dynamic behaviour. The performance is demonstrated by
experimental results using prototype converters. |
