Problems of improving technical and economic performance of filtering and compensation systems (FCS) for railway AC traction systems are considered in this paper. Criteria of FCS effectiveness in railway traction systems are proposed. Different FCS topologies providing reactive power compensation and harmonic mitigation were investigated through the use of the proposed criteria. It is shown that appropriate solutions for railway traction systems are FCS including single-tuned sections for low-frequency harmonics and broadband damping sections.
