Technical FAQs 4

What are the advantages of using hybrid energy storage systems?

Hybrid energy storage systems (HESSs) comprising batteries and SCs can offer unique advantages due to the combination of the advantages of the two technologies: high energy density and power density. For this reason, HESSs have gained momentum for application in light railway systems.

What can onboard energy be stored in for battery hybrid trains?

For battery hybrid trains, the onboard energy can be stored in several submodules. The EMS is of great importance for safe, reliable, and energy-efficient operation of the multimodal traction system.

Do hybrid energy storage systems need auxiliary ESS?

Additionally, the use of SCs as auxiliary ESSs for hybrid energy storage systems (HESSs) has been demonstrated to increase the system’s peak power, reduce internal losses, and assist batteries during peak power demands and regenerative braking.

Should rail vehicles have onboard energy storage systems?

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.
