Stage 1: original PSS and Harmonic Study

(2009/10)
132kV data from TNB, including background distortion
Limited number of 132kV scenarios (four cases)
Traction transformer data from manufacturer; no Z(f) data
so some parameters assumed
Booster system modelled
25kV system parameters calculated by BBRSE
Rotem harmonic generation data
Methodology based on peak distortion
Compliance based on short time planning levels

Requirement for Enhanced Study (Stage 2)

Booster system changed to boosterless system

Unrealistic voltage distortion and filtering requirement
from results of Stage 1 Power System Study / Harmonic
Study

Sep 14th, 2004

 Ipoh Padang Besar Double Track Project

Stage 2: Enhanced Study

132kV data from TNB still remains, including background distortion

Traction transformer frequency parameters changed in line with
more relevant literature
Booster system changed to boosterless system; 25kV system
parameters re-calculated by BBRSE
Rotem harmonic generation data validation by measurements
Methodology still based on peak distortion
Compliance based on very short time planning levels

Stage 2: Enhanced Study Results

Changed parameters
the system was changed from booster to boosterless
system
traction transformer resistance was set at more realistic
value
train is represented using Norton equivalent, based on
voltage measurement at Lahat (March 2012)
Parameters that remained the same
train harmonic generation; we are still using Rotem data as
part of the train representation (scaled to line up with
measurements)
132kV data; one of the most critical data sets and we know
it is not complete and contains some anomalies
study methodology; we are still assuming the peak
distortion of every train

Results of Enhanced Harmonic Study

Stage 2: Enhanced Study Results comparison

with original PSS
The harmonic voltage distortion levels calculated have dropped
dramatically
Some sites require different types of filters (reduced number of
excessive harmonics)
Some sites do not require filters at all

The final recommendation on whether to fit or not to fit filters at locations

which are marginal should be made on a risk-based analysis including:
The number and magnitude of exceedences
The cases in which exceedences occur likelihood
Final arrangements to be discussed with TNB and KTMB

Traction transformer impedance measurements
Repeat the harmonics study
Revise the 132kV data and model, as appropriate
Revise the harmonic generation based on measurements

Conclusions

All sites show significat filter reduction, with further improvements

expecteed
Enhanced Harmonic Study is being improved and is now showing more
realistic results, with more robust parameters and methodology
Methodology and application of limits to be confirmed (TNB)
Validation required which will entail further measurements train, 25kV,
132kV and traction transformer impedance
Procurement process has commenced
Validation process will be complete in time for commencement of
specification and detail design of filters, subject to testing taking place
