Abstract : Electric railway traction system is a dynamically varying load with high rated power. In addition to this the usage of power electronic converters in this system causes power quality (PQ) issues such as harmonic distortion, voltage unbalance, voltage fluctuation etc. To mitigate this power quality problems many compensation strategies have been proposed in different literature; but they usually have high nominal rating and complex control algorithm. In this paper a passive shunt filter with a simple design is proposed to reduce the harmonics generated in traction power supply system.
