Capacity configuration of high-speed railway energy storage system

How does capacity configuration affect the economic operation of energy storage system?

As the foundation of the energy storage system, capacity configuration is directly related to the economic operation of the energy storage system. This paper establishes a multi-objective optimization model with the lowest equivalent annual value and the highest monthly income for the high-speed railway hybrid energy storage system (HESS).

What is China's high-speed railway construction?

China’s high-speed railway construction has achieved a significant breakthrough and distinguished achievement . In China, the mileage of railways in service reached 131,000 km in 2018, of which 29,000 km are high-speed lines. Meanwhile, it should be noted that the energy consumption of the railway system is high.

How traction power fluctuations affect high-speed railway system (HSRs)?

Traction power fluctuations have economic and environmental effects on high-speed railway system (HSRS). The combination of energy storage system (ESS) and HSRS shows a promising potential for utilization of regenerative braking energy and peak shaving and valley filling.

How much energy does the railway system use in China?

In China, the mileage of railways in service reached 131,000 km in 2018, of which 29,000 km are high-speed lines. Meanwhile, it should be noted that the energy consumption of the railway system is high. The statistics indicated that the total energy consumption in 2018 was equivalent to 16.2 million tons of standard coal .

What is hybrid energy storage system (Hess)?

The hybrid energy storage system (HESS) is composed of different energy storage media with high power density and high energy density, such as batteries, capacitors, etc. [ 3 ].

Can a hybrid energy storage system be used for traction substations?

The combination of energy storage system (ESS) and HSRS shows a promising potential for utilization of regenerative braking energy and peak shaving and valley filling. This paper studies a hybrid energy storage system (HESS) for traction substation (TS) which integrates super-capacitor (SC) and vanadium redox battery (VRB).
