Energy recovery effectiveness in trolleybus transport

Abstract

Nowadays the issue of electric energy saving in public transport is becoming a key area of interest whichis connected both with a growth in environmental awareness of the society and an increase in the pricesof fuel and electricity. One of the possibilities to reduce energy consumption in urban public transport isto increase the extent of regenerative braking energy utilization. This can be achieved by its accumulationin the supercapacitors or a change in the topology of the power supply system in order to facilitate itsflow. The article presents an analysis of applying these two options for increasing recovery energy usageon the example of the trolleybus network in the Polish city of Gdynia. For the purpose of the analysis therewas used a simulation model of trolleybus traction power system based on the Monte Carlo simulationmethod. The research results and findings can be applied in other similar trolley or tram networks.
