A nine-month project was undertaken on the subject of the impact of railroad electrification on utility systems. The objectives of this study were achieved by a review of the literature, discussions with railroads and electric utilities with electrification experience, review of the present solution techniques and computational tools, and quantitative illustrations of the impact of railroad loads on utility systems. Representative simulations were run to address some of the major utility concerns such as unbalance, power factor, voltage drop, resonance and harmonics. The relative applicability of present day digital and analog computational techniques were evaluated as they relate to large, single phase, rectified loads. Finally, the needs of the utility in the area of railroad electrification were identified. (ERA citation 08:038881)
