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.
New-generation batteries and supercapacitors, designed for rapid charging and discharging cycles, enable railways to utilise solar power even during cloudy periods or at night. These storage systems are becoming more compact and efficient, making them ideal for space-constrained railway environments.
Solar railways represent a crucial component in Europe’s evolving energy landscape, particularly through their smart grid integration capabilities. These systems can both generate and consume power, creating a dynamic relationship with the broader electricity network.
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).
