Elkvalitetsmätning på en av Trafikverkets signalanläggningar inom ERTMS : En undersökning av elkvalitet

Sammanfattning: The thesis work was carried out within the Swedish Transport Agency's ERTMSproject to assist in deciding on the power supply of the facilities along the railways related to the project. This work applies to areas such as the implementation of the new rectifier, the Rectiverter, and power supply design with focus on redundancy and the overall electricity quality. The work was carried out by processing data from one week's power quality measurement at one of the signal plants where there was an installed Rectiverter. The results were set against current standards and causes of events discussed. The work indicates that the tested facility where power quality was measured meets the applicable standards. However, measures can be made to increase the efficiency of the facility, concerning both redundancy and direct power losses. This refers to the choice of power supply at facilities around the country and the conversion of AC to DC before the UPS and DC to AC-voltage after UPS to the Rectiverter. In chapter one terminology and abbreviations are listed. Chapter two contains an introduction to the report where background, purpose and objectives are formulated. Theory of power quality concepts, data processing, prevailing standards and information about the facilities of the Swedish Transport Administration can be found under chapter three. In chapter four, the methodology used for the power quality measurement and how it was carried out is presented. This includes the collection of sources, used equipment, practical set-up and used method for analysis. In chapter five, the results from the measurement are presented, which are then discussed further in the discussion (chapter six). The report is then summarized with conclusions and suggestions for further work in chapters seven and eight.
