Grid energy storage, also known as large-scale energy storage, is a set of technologies connected to the electrical power grid that store energy for later use. These systems help balance supply and demand by storing excess electricity from variable renewables such as solar and inflexible sources like nuclear power, releasing it when needed.
Battery storage is a technology that enables power system operators and utilities to store energy for later use.
Energy storage systems help reduce railway energy consumption by utilising regenerative energy generatedfrom braking trains. With various energy storage technologies available, analysing their features is essential for finding the best applications.
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.
