Review on the use of energy storage systems in railway applications
A research review is carried out to determine the operating parameters of each technology, which are subsequently analysed and compared against the desired characteristics
ELM's MicroGrid systems operate in unison with the public grid to offer energy security, cost savings and storage for commercial or industrial zones ELM's Utility Scale MicroGrids are pre-wired, pre-tested and assembled in a UL 508 shop to ensure reliability and high quality production
Li-ion battery as expected, offers a great energy and power density. According to these parameters, it is the most appropriate to be used on board trains. Fig. 7. Comparison of EESs depending on power and energy density (Data from Table 5).
The wide array of available technologies provides a range of options to suit specific applications within the railway domain. This review thoroughly describes the operational mechanisms and distinctive properties of energy storage technologies that can be integrated into railway systems.
Energy storage systems help reduce railway energy consumption by utilising regenerative energy generatedfrom braking trains. With various energy storage technologies available, analysing their features is essential for finding the best applications.
