DC POWER SUPPLY DEVICE AND RAILWAY SUBSTATION INCORPORATING IT

Disclosed is a DC power supply device that includes: a transformer having a primary side and a secondary side; a diode rectifier connected at its input side to the secondary side of the transformer; an inverter connected at its output side to the secondary side of the transformer; and a controller. The inverter is controlled by the controller to generate reactive power and/or harmonics onto the secondary side of the transformer so as to regulate the DC voltage at the output side of the diode rectifier to a target value. The controller receives at its input side at least one DC signal outputted by the diode rectifier and uses the at least one DC signal to control the inverter.
