Abstract |
Two Lithium ion battery systems have already installed at practical traction substations, HAIJIMA SS and OKEGAWA SS, to utilize regenerative energy in d.c. 1.5kV traction power supply system of East Japan Railway Company. In this paper, the effect of energy storage system for energy saving by making use of regenerative energy is evaluated in detail. According to our experiences, the annual effects of energy storage systems at HAIJIMA SS and OKEGAWA SS are 400MWh/year and 600 or 700MWh/year, respectively. |
