“…On the other hand, Andres Ovalle proposed the optimal energy storage sizing formulation, taking the characteristics of different modern battery and supercapacitor technologies into account, and the objective function to minimize the trade-off between energy-storage capacity and charging rates based on a real-time simulation [10]. At the same time, Dupré developed a methodology that divides installation into stages with different budgets and periods to obtain optimum installation of ESSs in a railway line, balancing energy saving and profit [11]. Also, simulations in different conditions managed by different algorithms have been conducted by many authors, all of which prove that installing SESS will lead to energy saving for the railway system [12][13][14][15][16].…”

The transition towards environmentally friendly transportation solutions has prompted a focused exploration of energy-saving technologies within railway transit systems. Energy Storage Systems (ESS) in railway transit for Regenerative Braking Energy (RBE) recovery has gained prominence in pursuing sustainable transportation solutions. To achieve the dual-objective optimization of energy saving and investment, this paper proposes the collaborative operation of Onboard Energy-Storage Systems (OESS) and Stationary Energy-Storage Systems (SESS). In the meantime, Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm-II (NSGA-II) is applied to optimize the ESS capacity and reduce its redundancy. The simulation is programmed in MATLAB. The results show that the corporation of OESS and SESS offers superior benefits (70 kWh energy saving within 30 min operation) compared to using SESS alone. Moreover, the OESS plays a significant role, emphasizing its significance in saving energy and investment, therefore presenting a win–win scenario. It is recommended that the capacity of OESS be designed to be two to three times that of SESS. The findings contribute to the ongoing efforts in developing more sustainable and energy-efficient transportation solutions, with implications for the railway industry’s investment and broader initiatives in energy saving for sustainable urban mobility.

The recent railway system is a huge microgrid assembling multiplex structure with distributed active loads, sources and storage devices. The active load represents the train. The sources are a microgrid based on renewable energies. The big problem of the most of electrical train is that they can't recover energy recovery during regenerative breaking phases. another problem of the electrical train is the long charging time from the stations. This paper suggests a techno-economic process for the energy storage by using SCs in the train, with the aim to reduce the energy consumptions. The proposed design of railway station use PV and wind sources, and batteries for energy storage system (ESS). For the train, SCs are implemented to the ESS where they are alimented breaking phases and from stations by a pantograph installed in an air power line in each stop. SCs are distinguished by high characteristics power and a wide number of charge/discharge cycles, they provide low particular energy and a fast charging time. An energy management approach is suggested to control the DC bus by voltage and the buck-boost converter by current. The Sizing of PI controller used for the stabilization of the DC bus of train and station is given. The whole system is modeled in MATLAB-Simulink. Simulations for the train and station show the suitability of the suggested powertrain and control strategy.INDEX TERMS Energy management, railway system control, energy storage system, supercapacitors.
