Tram energy storage system won the bid

Why are trams with energy storage important?

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).

Is there an equivalent consumption minimization strategy for a hybrid tram?

An equivalent consumption minimization strategy is proposed and verified for optimization. This paper describes a hybrid tram powered by a Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cell (FC) stack supported by an energy storage system (ESS) composed of a Li-ion battery (LB) pack and an ultra-capacitor (UC) pack.

Can a hybrid tram operate without a grid connection?

This paper describes a hybrid tram powered by a Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cell (FC) stack supported by an energy storage system (ESS) composed of a Li-ion battery (LB) pack and an ultra-capacitor (UC) pack. This configuration allows the tram to operate without grid connection.

How energy management strategy is used in Guangzhou Haizhu trams?

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.

Why are trams a popular public transport?

Trams, for their merits of comfortable, environmentally friendly, great passenger capacity, low energy consumption and long service life, are popular public transport in large and medium-sized cities .

What is energy management in a hybrid energy storage system?

Therefore, the energy management of a hybrid energy storage system (HESS) is a key issue to be studied. Through the application of effective energy management control techniques, the power performance of the HESS is ensured, the power braking energy is effectively utilized and the service life of the HESS is enhanced.
