In the Tokaido Shinkansen, rolling stock types have been unified as an inverter controlled type, which was introduced after Series 300. As a result, the input power factor of the main converter used in the rolling stock has been controlled to 1. In accordance with this change, the role of reactive compensation of static var compensators (SVC) has shifted from the load power of trains to the power consumed by the reactance in the electrical power system. Therefore, when taking into consideration the aging of power converters, it is time to reassess their layout and the configuration for the future of the Tokaido Shinkansen. We reassessed the equipment configuration, capacity, and layout of power converters and verified the impact on the stabilization of the power supply when introducing self‐commutated power converters.
