It is suspected that new customer demands as well as actual control laws for modern railway
vehicles could stimulate instabilities and low frequency oscillations in railway power systems.
A rigorous analysis of these issues is exceedingly complicated by the complexity of railway
power systems. In this seminar the focus is set to the following topics: constant power
demand and power limitation as a function of line voltage and line frequency. In order to
illustrate the system’s complexity, an overview of structures and different components of
railway systems will be given. It will be shown that the analysis of subsystems and raw
simplifications allow establishing potential factors that induce instabilities and oscillations.
