Smart Railway Technology presents inverters for PV-powered train traction

Smart Railway Technology's new PV2Rail inverters are designed to feed directly into 16.7 Hertz (Hz) railway power grids.From pv magazine Germany PV plant owners that want to feed solar power into railway networks face a technical challenge. Railway networks operate at a frequency of 16.7 Hz, but public power grids - for which common inverters are designed - operate at 50 Hz. In order to address this issue, Germany-based Smart Railway Technology has conceived an inverter that is designed to feed directly into a railway's 16.7 Hz power grid, without costly detours via conventional three-phase ...
