Wayside Energy Storage System for Peak Demand Reduction in Electric Rail Systems

Abstract

In this paper, three different types of wayside energy storage systems (WFSSs) have been investigated for obtaining peak demand reduction at substations that support DC rail transportation systems. The three types of FSSs comprise a battery, supercapacitor, and flywheel. The performance of these FSSs is compared on the basis of parameters such as, size, cost and energy saving.
