Optimal design of onboard energy storage systems with volume limitation for urban electrical rail transportation
Train braking energy regeneration in urban electrical rail transportation systems can reduce energy consumption and operational cost of the system. In this paper, optimal design of an onboard energy storage system (OESS) with volume constraint is presented for urban electrical rail transportation systems (ERTS). Onboard super-capacitors are considered as the storage system. The objective functi...

متن کاملSelecting sustainability indicators for urban energy systems
Literature on the measurement of urban sustainability shows that no single indicator framework is appropriate for all applications. Consequently practitioners must consider the intended goals of indicator use and carefully choose metrics to maximize their relevance and effectiveness. The study of urban energy systems demonstrates these issues, as energy use is integral to many dimensions of urb...
متن کاملLimitations of Performance Measurement Systems based on Key Performance Indicators
Measuring performance is a key to optimize business processes. However, many of them cannot be easily measured due to their non-deterministic or qualitative nature. So, to fit in common performance measurement systems (PMS) that normally use numeric parameters (KPIs), artificial and simplifying measures have to be used that are complicated and costly to create and evaluate. Using a literature r...
