6 FAQs about [Metro energy storage solution design]

Are metro systems energy-saving?

Against the background of energy saving and emission reduction, energy-saving technologies of metro systems have been applied to metro design, and energy-saving awareness has been implemented in actual metro operation.

What are the benefits of storing energy in Metro stations?

In turn the stored energy could power upon demand selected stationary electrical loads in Metro stations of a non-safety critical character (such as lighting, ventilation, pumps, etc.) leading to very significant energy savings and to a corresponding reduction of greenhouse gases.

What is a hybrid energy storage system?

A hybrid Energy Storage System termed MetroHESS foresees the storage and reuse of regenerative train braking energy through an active combination of batteries covering base power electrical consumer loads in Metro stations and supercapacitors able to receive the energy power peaks from train braking.

Does a stationary hybrid energy storage system work in Metro traction substations?

This paper focuses on the configuration of a stationary hybrid energy storage system, located in metro traction substations in turn located inside Metro stations. The recuperation energy of the metro braking phase is then reused to feed stationary electrical loads of metro stations.

What is a metro power supply system?

The metro power supply system mainly includes the external power supply, main substation, step-down substation, traction substation, train traction power supply system, station power lighting power supply system and power monitoring system. The main power systems include the traction power supply and lighting power supply systems.

How much energy does a metro station use?

A typical Athens Metro station stationary electrical loads consumption has been experimentally measured to be of the order of 2000 kWh/day hence the HESS energy could cover most of these loads, as long as they are not of a safety critical nature (e.g. tunnel ventilation).
