The TES Standards Committee published the second edition of TES-1, Safety Standards for Thermal Energy Storage Systems: Molten Salt in December 2023. The Committee has formed a subordinate group called the TES-2 Committee to develop the draft of TES-2, Safety Standard for Thermal Energy Storage Systems: Phase Change.
EMS determines the performance of the tram''s hybrid energy storage system, and the appropriate EMS can not only make the tram running safely and smoothly, but also reduce the loss and the operation cost. EMS can be distributed into two types, online strategy and offline strategy.
As shown in Figure 1, three schemes are considered in this paper for comparing the feasibility and economy of the catenary-free tram under different energy storage types and different energy supplies: (1) UC storage systems with fast-charging at each station (US-FC); (2) battery storage systems with slow-charging at starting and final stations (...

requirements. For example, Underwriters Laboratories (UL) standards for portable consumer cells and battery packs were applied to much larger ESS batteries, but these did not adequately address the particular hazards of larger station- ary units. The codes and standards landscape started to change after a series of 23 fires, mostly occurring in the pe-riod of June 2018 to

The greater the distance between stations, the greater the demand energy. The first interval has the largest distance and maximum energy consumption. If the recovered braking energy is not included, the energy consumption is 7.012 kwh. Fig. 3. DC bus demand energy curve. The tram adopts the power supply mode of catenary free and on-board SESS.
On the basis of the research on the energy storage system of catenary free trams, the technology of on-board energy storage, high current charging and discharging and capacity management system has been broken through. The trams with the energy storage system have been assembled and have completed the relative type tests.
To solve technical problems of the catenary free application on trams, this chapter will introduce the design scheme of supercapacitor-based energy storage system application on 100% low floor modern tram, achieving the full mesh, the high efficiency of supercapacitor power supply-charging mode, finally passed the actual loading test [ 8, 9 ].
The tram adopts the power supply mode of catenary free and on-board SESS. The whole operation process is powered by a SESS. The SESS only supplements electric energy within 30s after entering each station. The power supply parameters of the on-board ESS are shown in Table 2. Table 2. Power supply parameters of on-board ESS.
The sizing optimization is carried out through multi-objective genetic algorithms (GA). The multi-objective approach considers an economic model in order to evaluate the influence of the BT and SC sizing on the operating cost of the tramway in a long term view (whole lifetime of the vehicle).
