SUBSTATIONS Energy Storage System
ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM Description The purpose of the Energy Storage System (E.S.S.) is to collect and store energy generated during the braking sequence of a vehicle such as a train, metro, trolleybus or tram vehicle. This energy can be consumed by adjacent trains, or it can be stored in a double layer supercapacitor and re-injected to the network when required. Public distribution grid Typical rectifier traction substation Energy Storage System Green energy for environmental care Renewable energy = Savings Accelerating train Braking / regenerating train Accelerating train The energy is not only dissipated as heat but can be reused by other vehicles later. The E.S.S. insures the holding of the traction voltage along the line. The E.S.S. does not require any connection to the public distribution network with its strict requirements. The E.S.S. in a grid has no troublesome effect on the existing line and traffic. Available configurations Basic block diagrams: 1 to 4 kwh: Coupling cubicle 6 to 8 kwh: Converter cubicle SYNC 12 to 16 kwh: Storage cubicle SYNC 1kWh SYNC 2
Performances Comparison of the same system without and with Energy Storage System: Safety Electrical protections: The dissipative safety function permits a rapid discharge of the supercapacitor bank. SEPCOS unit protects the whole circuit with protection functions. UR15 HSCB direct tripping (IDS). Output and input side of the converter are protected by fuses. Voltage applied to the supercaps is monitored in order to insure the best lifespan of the modules. Voltage presence is indicated by safety light indicators. 64 frame leakage relay. Ventilation is monitored by temperature sensors. Safety-surge arresters connected to the input of the E.S.S. circuit between positive and negative pole and between negative and earth. Emergency stop button. Semiconductor high speed fuses are installed to protect the IGBT DC/DC converter. Mechanical protection: Trolley connectors have degree of protection IP65 when plugged in. Supercap trolley is touch protected without any access to power terminals. Access to high voltage compartments is limited with safety locking of the doors Access to low voltage compartments is fully allowed. The door of the cubicle cannot be closed unless the supercap trolley is securely locked in the cubicle. 3
