Abstract:

In recent years, the development of energy storage trams has attracted considerable attention. Our current research focuses on a new type of tram power supply system that combines ground charging devices and energy storage technology. Based on the existing operating mode of a tram on a certain line, this study examines the combination of ground-charging devices and energy storage technology to form a vehicle (with a Li battery and a super capacitor) and a ground (ground charging pile) power system. Under the premise of tram operation and safety, an economic model of the integrated power system of ground, vehicle, and ground is established, and a particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is used to obtain the most economical capacity allocation plan. Through a comparative analysis and compared with the existing pure supercapacitor "station charging" mode, the new capacity configuration scheme proposed in this study would reduce the average daily cost by 9.8% and save 10.64 million yuan in the overall cost. The charging power requirements would be reduced by 66.7%.
