This paper evaluates, in a case study with real data, the advantages of using regenerative braking in a tram line, both in case of non-reversible substations and substations equipped with battery energy storage. It shows that the addition of storage enhances energy efficiency a lot, and therefore this is a very cost-effective solution. © 2013 AEIT.

Abstract
This paper evaluates, in a case study with real data, the advantages of using regenerative braking in a tram line, both in case of non-reversible substations and substations equipped with battery energy storage. It shows that the addition of storage enhances energy efficiency a lot, and therefore this is a very cost-effective solution. © 2013 AEIT.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
