Tram domestic energy storage field

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.

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).

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 is an alternative to catenary free trams?

An alternative is catenary free trams, driven by on-board energy storage system. Various energy storage solutions and trackside power delivery technologies are explained in , .

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 modern trams favored in many cities?

The modern tram which is green, convenient, comfortable, less investment and simple approval has been favored in many cities. Application of catenary free technology in the modern trams removes bad influence of the catenary on the city landscape “visual pollution.” The modern tram has become a beautiful landscape in the city [ 1 ].
