Railway Traction Power Supply, 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Nowadays, electrified railway networks are considered one of the most environmentally friendly transportation systems. In the context of the need for increased rail transportation, both for freight and passenger services, the efficiency of the electric traction system, from the power supply to the rolling stock, is of central concern. This Special Issue will focus on advances in the domain of railway traction power supply at different levels: modelling, technologies, converters, and systems. All electrification systems, both direct current and alternating current, are addressed.

Papers on the following topics are welcome:

• New solutions for interconnection to public grids (reversible substations, voltage balancers, frequency changers, etc.);
• New solutions for power supply (FACTs, three-wire DC power supply, MVDC power systems, the integration of renewable energy sources, energy storage systems, etc.);
• Interactions between rolling stock and power supplies (low-frequency stability, harmonic interactions, etc.).

The objective of this Special Issue is to gather papers from industries and academia in order to compare their experiences, visions, and research in the field of railway electrification systems.

Prof. Dr. Philippe Ladoux

Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
