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 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.

How does a tram work?

The tram mainly comprises the energy storage system, traction system, and auxiliary system, and the specific structure is shown in Fig. 1. 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.

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.

Can EV batteries be used as energy storage for tram networks?

This research considers using the EV battery as energy storage for the tram network is a promising option that could lead to better economic feasibility. Still, to provide a more reliable and comprehensive feasibility study for this exploitation, it requires further research on

Can a tram's driving strategy reduce energy consumption and extend battery life?

However, trams may face expensive battery replacement costs due to battery degradation. Therefore, this paper proposes a multi-objective optimization method for the tram's driving strategy to reduce operational energy consumption and extend battery life. The method describes the optimization problem as second-order cone programming (SOCP).
