From a system-level perspective, the integration of alternative energy sources on board rail vehicles has become a popular solution among rolling stock manufacturers. Surveys are made of many recent realizations of multimodal rail vehicles with onboard electrochemical batteries, supercapacitors, and hydrogen fuel cell systems.

Simply put, energy storage is the ability to capture energy at one time for use at a later time. Storage devices can save energy in many forms (e.g., chemical, kinetic, or thermal) and convert them back to useful forms of energy like electricity. Although almost all current energy storage capacity is in the form of pumped hydro and the ...

This paper proposes an energy storage system (ESS) for recycling the regenerative braking energy in the high-speed railway. In this case, a supercapacitor-based storage system is integrated at the DC bus of the back to back converter that is connected to the two power phases of the traction power system (TPS). In order to …

The composite energy storage system is a complex nonlinear system. Its genetic algorithm has been widely used in multi-objective optimisation. It has also been applied in the parameter optimisation of hybrid electric vehicle components. However, it is rarely used in urban rail trains, which is worth studying [ 7 – 10 ].
