Abstract
Using bidirectional converters in Metro substations, regenerative braking
energy can be fed back to the AC grid to decrease the braking energy loss.
In this research the effectiveness of bidirectional rectifiers and their
placement are investigated. A case study is provided for determination of
optimal location and capacity of bidirectional rectifiers in 8 rectifier
substations for different traffic scenarios in a part of line 1 of the Tehran
Metro system. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) method is used for
selection of optimal traction substation for inverter placement. The results
of simulation and optimization by using the software built in MATLAB /
SIMULINK are presented. Simulation results confirm the effectiveness of
using bidirectional rectifiers as well as the optimization method.
