Energy Storage System for DC Electrified Railway Using EDLC

Induction Motor Characteristics and Applications for Dc Electrified Railway Systems

Induction motor structures in DC electrified railways with their dynamic performance are studied. Characteristics of the current, voltage, electrical and mechanical torque and active and reactive power in accelerating, normal and regenerative braking are investigated. The characteristics of the induction motors used for Tabriz urban railway are simulated with PSCAD/EMTDC software proving the in...

A Bidirectional DC-DC Convreter with Zero Voltage Switching Capability for Energy Storage Application

In this paper, a bidirectional DC-DC converter with high power density for energy storage application is proposed. The presented converter provides power transfer in both directions only with adjusting phase shift angle. Zero voltage switching (ZVS) in both turn on and turn off moments of all switches is the major capability of the converter that makes it suitable for high power applications. Z...

A Bi-Directional DC/DC Converter for Energy Storage Systems

This paper addresses a bi-directional dc/dc converter suitable for an energy storage system with an additional function of galvanic isolation. An energy storage device such as an electric double layer capacitor is directly connected to one of the dc buses of the dc/dc converter without any chopper circuit. Nevertheless, the dc/dc converter can continue operating when the voltage across the ener...

Flywheel Energy Storage System Based on Boost DC-AC Converter

To extend the operating speed range of a conventional configuration of FESS (flywheel energy storage system), an additional DC-DC boost converter is required between the machine and grid side converters to regulate the output voltage. This paper presents a new FESS based on three-phase boost inverter topology. The proposed system facilitates voltage boost capability directly in a single-stage. ...
