“…Light trains and trams with energy storage devices on board are becoming more widespread, making them more efficient than stationary options. However, using stationary energy storage devices is more cost-effective and reduces the maximum power demands on the grid [6,7]. Three energy storage technologies were chosen from among the many available on the market, based on their maturity level and the qualities of high power, low energy, and quick reaction.…”

Saudi Arabia aims to achieve the principles of sustainable development goals (SDG) in all aspects of life in accordance with its ambitious vision 2030, especially in the field of sustainable passengers and freight transportation. Hyperloop technology can be considered as an excellent sustainable solution for the future of transportation in Saudi Arabia as a result of the availability of auxiliary ingredients, such renewable energy resources and the necessary infrastructure required enhancing the future mobility technology. Hyperloop can reduce the travel time between Saudi cities at a cost equivalent to ticket prices compatible with forms of mass passenger transportation. Accordingly, the Hyperloop technology can be more efficient in terms of energy consumption through the application of renewable energy resources, which makes this technology very attractive to the Saudi Arabia. The present paper discusses the feasibility of Hyperloop technology in Saudi Arabia in technical and economic perspectives including basic performance and cost analysis. Moreover, the integration of different renewable energy recourses, such as solar and hydrogen energy is also discussed. Three major energy systems were reviewed in depth: electrical energy derived from typical fossil fuels and two renewable energy systems based on solar energy, which can be utilized as a primary source of energy or to produce green hydrogen. The overall estimated cost of the three distinct power supply systems was compared using 2022 prices as a benchmark. In comparison to the electrical system and the solar-hydrogen system, the overall cost of the Hyperloop-hydrogen system is the most expensive power supply system. It is expected that the use of Hyperloop technology in Saudi Arabia will be a motivating factor in achieving the Kingdom's Vision 2030 in the transportation sector and as a catalyst for high technology through its requirements for artificial intelligence programs and computerbased operational systems. It can also achieve a significant increase in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by providing jobs and opportunities for young Saudi men and women in the high-technology sector.

“…This is because the stator segments of the LIM, including the converter and the power stations, experience huge power spikes for just a few seconds (i.e., 21 s). It affects the power grid with very sharp spikes in their highly pulsating load profiles and, in the worst case, they are likely to induce voltage disturbances and fluctuations (Tbaileh et al 2021). They are also likely to reduce a significant amount of the frequency stability reserves of the grid in high-stress situations.…”

“…Additionally, they calculated that the cost for building the Hyperloop infrastructure in Poland of 3000-30,000 km long tracks would cost over $50 billion. In [18], the authors discuss the electric power requirements for a full-scale Hyperloop. Currently, there is limited research on the topic of integration of Hyperloop propulsion and levitation system via linear synchronous motors.…”

This paper introduces a new Hyperloop transportation system’s design and implementation. The main contribution of this paper is the design and integration of propulsion components for a linear motion system, with battery storage. The proposed Hyperloop design provides a high-speed transportation means for passengers and freights by utilizing linear synchronous motors. In this study, a three-phase inverter was designed and simulated using PSIM. A prototype of this design was built and integrated with a linear synchronous motor. The operation of full system integration satisfies a proof-of-concept design. A study of the inverter system in conjunction with a linear synchronous motor for a ridged Hyperloop system is made. The prototype of this system achieves propulsion for the bidirectional movements. Battery state of charge simulation results are given in a typical motoring and braking scenario.
