Power Electronic Converters in Advanced Co-Phase Traction Power Supply System

This book focuses on analysis,  modulation, simulation, and prototype verification of the power electronic converters in advanced co-phase traction power supply systems. Firstly, the grid-connected characteristic is introduced in the grid-connected traction power supply system.  Then, the detailed circuits analysis, control, and modulation of grid-connected three-phase converter, single-phase converter, clamped multi-level three-phase to single-phase converter, modular multi-level three-phase to single-phase converter, and two-phase to single-phase converter in advanced co-phase system are analyzed and discussed in different chapters separately. It's also serves as an excellent reference for the study and research of power electronics related specialties.

Zeliang Shu is Professor of Southwest Jiaotong University (SWJTU), Chengdu, China. He received the B.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering of SWJTU in 2002 and 2007, respectively.  His research interests include: multilevel converter, high voltage AC-DC and DC-DC convertion, and digital control of power electronics.  He received his early education from Professor Jisan Lian, an expert in maglev trains and maglev technology. He completed the research on the detection and control system of the co-phase system and applied it to the world's first filed applied co-phase power supply project. Later, he led the research on national-level projects related to the converters in advanced co-phase traction power supply system.
