High-speed rail dedicated energy storage air switch

Can onboard energy storage systems be integrated in trains?

As a result, a high tendency for integrating onboard energy storage systems in trains is being observed worldwide. This article provides a detailed review of onboard railway systems with energy storage devices. In-service trains as well as relevant prototypes are presented, and their characteristics are analyzed.

Is braking energy recovery feasible in high-speed DC railway system?

In order to analyze the feasibility of braking energy recovery in case of the considered high-speed DC railway system, two different models have been developed. They include the feeding electrical substations (ESSs), the network and the trains.

How much regenerative braking power does a high-speed railway have?

The conclusions are as follows. The maximum regenerative braking power of the high-speed railway in the example reaches 11 MW, and the total regenerative braking energy in one day reaches 9.58 MWh, whose power and energy are large, and it is necessary for the railway system to recycle it.

Why should you choose Toshiba for a railway power supply system?

touch screen on the panel for operation and maintenance. Toshiba produces Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems for railway power supply systems with ICT which enables stable and highly-reliable train operations. Toshiba’s abundant expertise allows for production of user-friendly systems.

What is considered a high-speed train?

The considered high-speed train is the Italian ETR 1000, a train equipped with a distributed traction system and able to operate both under DC and AC electrifications, thus being able to operate within the main European high-speed lines; its pantographs are designed to operate with different voltage values.

What is gas insulated switchgear (GIS)?

The Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS) is an integrated switchgear which uses SF6 insulation gas. It is used mainly in 72.5kV or higher systems. Toshiba has a long history for developing and manufacturing GIS. Can be installed in indoor and underground substations
