Tram home energy storage ups

Why is energy storage system on trams important?

The energy storage system on the trams has been convinced to meet the requirements of catenary free tram network for both at home and abroad. This technology improves the technical level of domestic tram development greatly and promotes the development of China’s rail tram industry.

What is the energy storage system of catenary free trams?

On the basis of the research on the energy storage system of catenary free trams, the technology of on-board energy storage, high current charging and discharging and capacity management system has been broken through. The trams with the energy storage system have been assembled and have completed the relative type tests.

Can supercapacitor-based energy storage system be used on trams?

To solve technical problems of the catenary free application on trams, this chapter will introduce the design scheme of supercapacitor-based energy storage system application on 100% low floor modern tram, achieving the full mesh, the high efficiency of supercapacitor power supply-charging mode, finally passed the actual loading test [ 8, 9 ].

What power supply mode does a tram use?

The tram adopts the power supply mode of catenary free and on-board SESS. The whole operation process is powered by a SESS. The SESS only supplements electric energy within 30s after entering each station. The power supply parameters of the on-board ESS are shown in Table 2. Table 2. Power supply parameters of on-board ESS.

How much energy does a tram use?

The greater the distance between stations, the greater the demand energy. The first interval has the largest distance and maximum energy consumption. If the recovered braking energy is not included, the energy consumption is 7.012 kwh. Fig. 3. DC bus demand energy curve. The tram adopts the power supply mode of catenary free and on-board SESS.

Why do we need stationary energy storage systems?

Since a shared electric grid is suffering from power superimposition when several trams charge at the same time, we propose to install stationary energy storage systems (SESSs) for power supply network to downsize charging equipment and reduce operational cost of the electric grid.
