Onboard energy storage in rail transport: Review of real applications
Currently, hybrid-electric trains are generally based on dual-mode diesel/electric powertrains. However, the last decade saw an increasing interest in rail vehicles with onboard
As a result, a high tendency for integrating onboard energy storage systems in trains is being observed worldwide. This article provides a detailed review of onboard railway systems with energy storage devices. In-service trains as well as relevant prototypes are presented, and their characteristics are analyzed.
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.
Rail vehicles with onboard energy storage systems (OESSs) have gained increasing interest in recent years. These vehicles can minimize costs by reducing maintenance and installation requirements of the electrified infrastructure, and offer improved energy efficiency and potential catenary-free operation.
