Onboard energy storage in rail transport: Review of real applications and techno-economic assessments. Emanuele Fedele, From a system-level perspective, the integration
The energy storage system for the light rail vehicle, which is among the DC-link and the traction system, is in charge of the power supply for the train when the catenary or the third rail is not available and transporting the energy that feeds back when the train is braking to the energy storage device.
However, the last decade saw an increasing interest in rail vehicles with onboard energy storage systems (OESSs) for improved energy efficiency and potential catenary-free operation. These vehicles can minimize costs by reducing maintenance and installation requirements of the electrified infrastructure.
Light rail vehicles (LRVs) have historically sourced power from overhead power lines. However, in recent years, catenary-free operations are fast gaining prominence. Catenary-free refers to the removal of the overhead power line equipments from the vehicle system. Power for such systems is sourced on-board energy storage devices.
Smart energy management strategies will thus be required for reliable and energy-efficient operation of the railway system. On the other hand, innovative paradigms for the supply system, such as inductive power transfer technology, will unfold alternative solutions to onboard energy storage for long-range wireless operation of rail vehicles.
From a system-level perspective, the integration of alternative energy sources on board rail vehicles has become a popular solution among rolling stock manufacturers. Surveys are made of many recent realizations of multimodal rail vehicles with onboard electrochemical batteries, supercapacitors, and hydrogen fuel cell systems.
In multimodal rail vehicles, multiple energy sources enable several different architectures of the propulsion system. On the other hand, many possibilities arise for the energy management strategy (EMS), which controls the power flows among OESSs during vehicle operation.
