Adhibition Study of Electric Multiple Units with Energy Storage on Partially Electrified Railway Line Gdansk Orunia - Port Oksywie

Abstract

Innovation in passenger service structure in Three-City Metropolis is discussed in the paper. In the case of track with alternating electrified and non-electrified sections, the energy demand has been determined. Then, a hypothetical energy storage consisting of batteries and supercapacitors has been selected. The analysis has shown that use of electric multiple units with energy storage might be better than use of Diesel multiple units or construction of traction network.
