6 Frequently Asked Questions about “Battery Energy Storage Power Station Tram”

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).

What does a battery pack do on a tram?

As the sole power source of the tram, the battery pack can supply power to the traction system and absorb the regenerative braking energy during electric braking to recharge the energy storage system. The traction system mainly consists of the inverter, traction motor, gearbox, and axle.

What is a battery powered tram?

The new technology is based on an onboard energy storage system (OBESS), with scalable battery capacity. It can be installed directly on the roof of existing trams - saving on costs, and visual impact – all while ensuring better environmental performance for a more sustainable society. In Florence, battery powered trams have been tested since 2021.

Why are lithium batteries used in energy storage trams?

Compared with the traditional overhead contact grid or third-rail power supply, energy storage trams equipped with lithium batteries have been developed rapidly because of their advantages of flexible railway laying and high regenerative braking energy utilization.

How does a supercapacitor improve the battery life of a tram?

Wang et al. comprehensively considered the characteristics of the tram HESS, line conditions, and traction characteristics, took the mass of the supercapacitor as the optimization goal, optimized the parameters, and extended the battery life while reducing the mass of the ESS.

How to reduce the energy consumption of trams?

As tram utilization increases, the operational energy consumption of the tram system grows. Therefore, it is crucial to save energy and reduce the energy consumption of trams. One promising approach is to optimize the speed trajectory of the tram, also known as energy-efficient driving [1, 2].
