Abstract

It is possible to suppress voltage drops, power loading fluctuations and regeneration power lapses for DC railway systems by applying an energy storage system. Recently the electric double layer capacitor (EDLC) of the rapid charge/discharge type has been developed and used in wide ranges. The on board energy storage system with supercapacitor for railway vehicles presented in this paper seems to be a reliable technical solution with an enormous energy saving potential. In this paper, an efficient charge and discharge control method of a bidirectional DC-DC converter using the supercapacitor is proposed.
