Urban rail systems such as subways and trams transport millions of people every day, oering a high level of service. Most of these systems are fed by direct current (DC). The design of the power supply network of DC electried transit railways is of great importance and requires the use of simulation models. The power supply network is composed of a high voltage network (fed with AC) linked to a traction network (fed with DC) by traction substations. Many simulation models ignore the high voltage network in the design process whereas it has a signicant inuence on the results. A Newton-Raphson algorithm is implemented to solve the AC load ow in the high voltage network, and coupled to the existing simulation software Symphonie. Three dierent high voltage network architectures are simulated, and the simulation results are analyzed. The results show that the voltage drop at the AC side of traction substations and the load sharing between them varies signicantly from one architecture to another. In particular, when several traction substations are connected to the same high voltage loop, voltage drops can be signicant for some traction substations. In conclusion, the design of the power supply network of DC electried transit railways requires the simulation of the high voltage network when several substations are connected to the same high voltage loop. === Publika sparburna transportsystem sasom tunnelbanor och lokalbanor transporterar miljontals manniskor varje dag. De esta korta linjer matas med likstrom. Utformningen av stromforsorjningen till dessa system ar avgorande for ett val fungerande , och forutsatter anvandningen av olika matematiska modeller. Detta natverk bestar av ett vaxelstroms hogspanningsnat som omformas till likstrom i era banmatningsstationer langs banan. Dessa matematiska modeller ignorerar dock ofta hogspanningsdelen i modelleringen, varfor resultatet ibland kan bli missvisande. I detta arbete har en belastningsfordelningsalgoritm baserad pa Newton-Raphsons metod implementerats for att skapa en battre modellering av hsgspanningsdelen i den bentliga programvaran Symphonie. Tre olika hogspanningsstrukturer har bearbetats och resultatet visar att spanningsfall och belastningsf ordelning varierar mellan de olika strukturerna. Speciellt nar era transformatorstationer ar kopplade till samma hogspanningssystem, kan spanningsfall vara patagligt for vissa transformatorstationer. Sammanfattningsvis maste utformningen av hogspanningsystemet till likstromsforsorjda jarnvagar utformas med hjalp av anpassade matematiska modeller som tar hansyn till placering av transformatorstationer liksom hogspanningsnatets kapacitet.
