Review on the use of energy storage systems in railway
The imperative for moving towards a more sustainable world and against climate change and the immense potential for energy savings in electrified railway systems are well-established.
During peak sunlight hours, solar railway installations often produce surplus energy that can be fed back into the main grid, supporting local communities and businesses. The integration process involves sophisticated energy management systems that monitor real-time power generation and consumption.
Energy storage systems help reduce railway energy consumption by utilising regenerative energy generatedfrom braking trains. With various energy storage technologies available, analysing their features is essential for finding the best applications.
This study delves into the integration of photovoltaic (PV) and energy storage systems (ESS) into AC railway traction power supply systems (TPSS) with Direct Feed (DF) and Autotransformer (AT) configurations. The aim is to evaluate energy performance, overhead line current distribution, and conductor temperature.
The integration of solar power into railway infrastructure represents a critical step toward achieving the EU's ambitious climate goals, offering a practical solution that combines existing transportation networks with renewable energy generation.
The imperative for moving towards a more sustainable world and against climate change and the immense potential for energy savings in electrified railway systems are well-established.
