Why is energy storage system on trams important?

The energy storage system on the trams has been convinced to meet the requirements of catenary free tram network for both at home and abroad. This technology improves the technical level of domestic tram development greatly and promotes the development of China’s rail tram industry.

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 energy storage equipment affect the performance of a tram?

The characteristics of the energy storage equipment of the tram, which is the tram power supply system, will largely affect the performance of the whole vehicle. Since there is still a lack of a single energy storage element with high power density and energy density to meet the vehicle operation requirements [ 6, 7 ].

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.

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 ].

Do modern trams use pure electric to drive?

Modern trams use pure electric to drive. Trams are currently new popular railway transportation products. They are convenient and environment friendly, comfortable and efficient. But since the overhead power network in some particular environment or section has an adverse impact on the landscape, it brings some difficulties to the line planning.
