A Preliminary Techno-Economic Comparison between DC Electrification and Trains with On-Board Energy Storage Systems

A Preliminary Techno-Economic Comparison between DC Electrification and Trains with On-Board Energy Storage Systems

The paper presents a preliminary technical-economic comparison between a 3 kV DC railway and the use of trains with on-board storage systems. Numerical simulations have been carried out on a real railway line, which presents an electrified section at 3 kV DC and a non-electrified section, currently...
