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.
The reliability and economy of power supply have become essential factors in transportation. By adding energy storage to the power supply system of railways, energy efficiency can be increased, and the impact of power system failures can be reduced. The application of energy storage in transport systems has been studied to some extent.
Referred to as transportable energy storage systems, MESSs are generally vehicle-mounted container battery systems equipped with standard-ized physical interfaces to allow for plug-and-play operation. Their transportation could be powered by a diesel engine or the energy from the batteries themselves.
In this Article, we estimate the ability of rail-based mobile energy storage (RMES)—mobile containerized batteries, transported by rail among US power sector regions—to aid the grid in withstanding and recovering from high-impact, low-frequency events.
