However, the last decade saw an increasing interest in rail vehicles with onboard energy storage systems (OESSs) for improved energy efficiency and potential catenary-free operation. These vehicles can minimize costs by reducing maintenance and installation requirements of the electrified infrastructure.
Smart energy management strategies will thus be required for reliable and energy-efficient operation of the railway system. On the other hand, innovative paradigms for the supply system, such as inductive power transfer technology, will unfold alternative solutions to onboard energy storage for long-range wireless operation of rail vehicles.
From a system-level perspective, the integration of alternative energy sources on board rail vehicles has become a popular solution among rolling stock manufacturers. Surveys are made of many recent realizations of multimodal rail vehicles with onboard electrochemical batteries, supercapacitors, and hydrogen fuel cell systems.
Despite low energy and fuel consumption levels in the rail sector, further improvements are being pursued by manufacturers and operators. Their primary efforts aim to reduce traction energy demand, replace diesel, and limit the impact of electrified overhead infrastructures.
Today's integration of storage devices on board rail vehicles represents an attractive field in academic research and common practice in the rolling stock industry. Indeed, it is part of a more comprehensive process of renovation that the rail sector is currently experiencing.
