Impacts of On-board Energy Storage Devices on the Energy Consumption of Train Operations
Downloads
Urban rail transit systems consume significant electrical power, with traction accounting for 50% of the total energy (from China Urban Rail Transit Association [1]). As operational mileage and vehicle counts rise, so does energy consumption, underscoring the importance of vehicular energy conservation. This study evaluates the impact of on-board energy storage devices on train energy efficiency. Using operational data from Changsha Metro Line 5 and incorporating literature reviews and simulations, the energy-saving potential was assessed. Integrating these storage devices with vehicle energy monitoring systems shows promising potential for energy conservation and operational efficiency. This research presents a viable strategy to reduce energy consumption in urban rail vehicles, enhancing system competitiveness.
