Abstract This paper presents a comprehensive framework for wide-area modeling and harmonic resonance assessment in the AC single-phase Swedish electric railway power system (ERPS). The methodology integrates the modeling of key elements of the catenary system, such as synchronous generators, transmission lines, transformers, and filters, while addressing the dynamic behavior of rolling stocks and inherent system uncertainties. Study cases, including Monte Carlo simulations, are developed to evaluate probabilistic scenarios and impedance variations across the network using nodal admittance modeling and frequency scanning. Key contributions include a method to model moving loads, a comprehensive approach to harmonic resonance analysis based on meshed grid characteristics of the ERPS, and an uncertainty assessment framework that highlights insights for system planning and mitigation actions. Discussion outlines future research directions for improved ERPS harmonic resonance studies.
