Synopsis

Given the increasingly busy railway networks, increased axle loads, and railway speeds,
modern railways and urban transport systems require smart and energy-efficient traction
power supply products and solutions to ensure safe, reliable, and environmentally
sustainable operations. Based on the latest development and achievements of China’s
traction power supply system, Smart Traction Power Supply Systems for High-speed
Railways focuses on the latest research into smart traction power supply systems. Starting
from the concept of smart technologies, it describes the structure and functions of smart
traction power supply systems, including smart power supply and transformation facilities,
smart power supply operation and maintenance management systems, smart power supply
dispatching systems, and high-speed communication networks. This book covers both
theory and the implementation, methods, and case studies of wide area protection, selfhealing
reconstruction, fault prognosis, health assessment, and power supply dispatching.

• Discusses what is meant by the term smart traction power supply systems and technology trends
• Reviews the new concept of the traction substation
• Describes how to develop smart traction power supply systems
