The optimal operation of a rail vehicle with on-board energy storage device minimizing energy consumption in catenary free mode is discussed in this paper. The electric double layer capacitor (EDLC) is assumed as an energy storage device because of its high power density, long lifetime and quick charge/discharge. The proposed method can determine the optimal acceleration/deceleration at each sampling...
Sliding mode control of boost converter is studied. In order to improve dynamical performances with static and dynamic specifications, we propose a systematic procedure to compute the gains of the controller based on an optimization scheme. This method is applied to the control of an energy storage system based on supercapacitors technology in order to regulate the output voltage. Given a system with...
Application of high efficiency energy storage techniques may stimulate in a near future a larger exploitation of renewable energy sources. Energy storage, in fact, not only can improve the quality of produced power, but also make possible the implementation of sophisticated energy management strategies, fully decoupling the power delivery from power generation. In such a scenario, Vanadium Redox Batteries...
