2nd-life for automotive battery systems: Stationary energy storage from Mercedes-Benz Energy GmbH (example). In the GUW + project, a stationary energy storage system is being build
Trams with energy storage are popular for their energy efficiency and reduced operational risk. An effective energy management strategy is optimized to enable a reasonable distribution of demand power among the storage elements, efficient use of energy as well as enhance the service life of the hybrid energy storage system (HESS).
Context and Motivation Energy storage systems in tramway applications aim to increase energy efficiency through adequate energy planning and control. Typically, storage systems for tramway installations encompass batteries and super-capacitors (SCs) , , .
Compared with the traditional overhead contact grid or third-rail power supply, energy storage trams equipped with lithium batteries have been developed rapidly because of their advantages of flexible railway laying and high regenerative braking energy utilization.
An improved PSO algorithm based on competitive mechanism is developed to obtain the optimal energy management strategy. The obtained energy management strategy has better effects in energy reduction with application in Guangzhou Haizhu tram. Trams with energy storage are popular for their energy efficiency and reduced operational risk.
Abstract: Catenary-free trams powered by on-board supercapacitor systems require high charging power from tram stations along the line.
It is also worth noting that more energy is purchased from the grid in the case of on-board configuration, despite that in this scenario the tramway cannot be supplied from the grid along catenary-less stretches.
