Abstract

An innovative subway has been proposed using supercapacitors as energy source. In this paper, are presented different possibilities to reduce on-board stored energy in order to downsize the on-board energy storage subsystem. Special attention is paid to the influence of a feeding rail extension or a downward slope at the beginning of the interstation on the on-board stored energy. A map is built to facilitate the selection of the solution which leads to reduce the on-board energy.
Keywords: on-board energy; energy storage; supercapacitor; ultracapacitor; subway; traction system; energy sizing; energy gain on-board energy; energy storage; supercapacitor; ultracapacitor; subway; traction system; energy sizing; energy gain
