-Optimization of position of SVR taps in power distribution systems (2 hours)
 
Day 3: Wednesday 12
th July, 2017Training course 3: On-Board Energy Storage and Another Technological Solutions for
Catenary Free Light Trains and Trams (4 hours, Dr. Pablo Arboleya Arboleya)
Nowadays, the use of energy storage combined with the regenerative braking systems
of the trains can be already considered a conventional solution in railway systems.
Such was the case that some manufacturers are using these kind of on-board
accumulation systems to avoid the use overhead line equipment and to reduce the
visual impact offering catenary free solutions. There exist other solutions for creating
catenary free systems, like the ones based in third rail technologies (standard,
controlled or inductive), but none of them are a good option for recovering the
regenerated braking energy. The sessions will cover technologies describing their main
features, drawbacks and benefits in terms of costs, operation, safety, reliability and
efficiency.
 
Day 4: Thursday 13
th July, 2017Training course 4 : Control of energy storage systems for distributed grid applications. (6-8
hours, Dr. Pablo García Fernández)
The course will be focused on the dynamic modeling and control design for different
grid applications considering an improved transient response. A methodology for the
dynamic model of power converters based on average model and non-linear modelbased
approach will be used. Details about the digital implementation will be included.
