Can energy storage technologies be integrated into railway systems?

The wide array of available technologies provides a range of options to suit specific applications within the railway domain. This review thoroughly describes the operational mechanisms and distinctive properties of energy storage technologies that can be integrated into railway systems.

Who funded the study 'methods of energy storage for railway systems'?

This study has been funded by the International Union of Railways (UIC) in the “Methods of energy storage for railway systems" project (RESS/RSMES 2020/RSF/669). (Funding partners ADIF, INFRABEL, NETWORK RAIL, RFI, NS, SBB and SZCZ).

Why is energy storage important in railway research?

Energy storage is a rapidly developing field, not only within railway research but also in other areas such as power generation, electric vehicles, and sustainable buildings. Therefore, it is key to consider that new technologies or significant improvements in existing ones may arise potentially displacing the current optimal solutions.

Why are La batteries used in railways?

It also takes longer to charge them, has a short cycle life, low energy and power densities, and cannot be discharged deeply . LA batteries have a long history of utilisation in railway applications. In Japan, they were installed in two lines in 1912 and 1914 in battery posts in parallel with the power substation.
