The latest technical solutions provide new opportunities for reducing energy consumption in electrified transport systems. The basic solution is to eliminate vehicles based on resistor start-up system and replace them with vehicles equipped with semiconductor based converter propulsion system (choppers and voltage source inverters). This type of drive also allows to recover energy (recuperation) from train braking, which is repeated very often case of metro lines. The problem is to find the receiver for this energy while the vehicle is braking. Large opportunities are also available when using various types of energy storage devices: stationary installed on the side of traction line and mobile ones used on-board the traction vehicles. Choosing the type of energy storage device for operating conditions, their capacity and the location of installation are complex optimization processes. This type of solution involves significant financial input, which reimbursement is spread over a long period of time. Therefore, it seems rational to seek solutions with limited financial outlay. This paper presents a solution analysis of adjusting the timetable and timeshifts between vehicle streams on the metro line to increase the efficiency of energy recovery of regenerative braking vehicles. This operation will reduce the amount of energy consumption by vehicles from the traction substations. The results presented in the paper were obtained by computer simulation of operation on the first line of the Warsaw subway, assuming that there was no energy storage devices and traction substations were operating without recuperation of the energy to the power system.

For decades, improvements in electrolytes and electrodes have driven the development of electrochemical energy storage devices. Generally, electrodes and electrolytes should not be developed separately due to the importance of the interaction at their interface. The energy storage ability and safety of energy storage devices are in fact determined by the arrangement of ions and electrons between the electrode and the electrolyte. In this paper, the physicochemical and electrochemical properties of lithium-ion batteries and supercapacitors using ionic liquids (ILs) as an electrolyte are reviewed. Additionally, the energy storage device ILs developed over the last decade are introduced.

AbstractMembranes with fast and selective ions transport are highly demanded for energy storage devices. Layered double hydroxides (LDHs), bearing uniform interlayer galleries and abundant hydroxyl groups covalently bonded within two-dimensional (2D) host layers, make them superb candidates for high-performance membranes. However, related research on LDHs for ions separation is quite rare, especially the deep-going study on ions transport behavior in LDHs. Here, we report a LDHs-based composite membrane with fast and selective ions transport for flow battery application. The hydroxide ions transport through LDHs via vehicular (standard diffusion) & Grotthuss (proton hopping) mechanisms is uncovered. The LDHs-based membrane enables an alkaline zinc-based flow battery to operate at 200 mA cm−2, along with an energy efficiency of 82.36% for 400 cycles. This study offers an in-depth understanding of ions transport in LDHs and further inspires their applications in other energy-related devices.

Abstract Development of sustainable electrochemical energy storage devices faces great challenge in exploring highly efficient and low cost electrode materials. Biomass waste derived carbonaceous materials can be used as an alternative to expensive metals in supercapacitor. However, their application limited by low performance. In this study, the combination use of persimmon waste derived carbon and transition metal nitride demonstrated strong potential for supercapacitor application. Persimmon based carbonaceous gel decorated with bimetallic-nitride (N-NiCo/PC) was firstly synthesized through a green hydrothermal method. Electrochemical properties of N-NiCo/PC as electrode in 6 M KOH electrolyte solution were evaluated by using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and charge-discharge measurements. The N-NiCo/PC exhibited 895.5 F/g specific capacitance at 1 A/g current density and maintained 91.5% capacitance retention after 900 cycles. Hence, the bimetallic nitride-based-composite catalyst is a potentially suitable material for high-performance energy storage devices. In addition, this work demonstrated a promising pathway for transforming environmental waste into sustainable energy conversion materials.

Structural energy storage devices (SESDs), designed to simultaneously store electrical energy and withstand mechanical loads, offer great potential to reduce the overall system weight in applications such as automotive, aircraft, spacecraft, marine and sports equipment. The greatest improvements will come from systems that implement true multifunctional materials as fully as possible. The realization of electrochemical SESDs therefore requires the identification and development of suitable multifunctional structural electrodes, separators, and electrolytes. Different strategies are available depending on the class of electrochemical energy storage device and the specific chemistries selected. Here, we review existing attempts to build SESDs around carbon fiber (CF) composite electrodes, including the use of both organic and inorganic compounds to increase electrochemical performance. We consider some of the key challenges and discuss the implications for the selection of device chemistries.

A control method for the stand-alone wind power generation system with induction generator and energy storage devices is proposed in this thesis. A fixed-speed self-excited induction generator is directly connected to the standalone power system, while battery powered energy storage devices are employed to balance the system power flow. A DC-AC power converter is connected between the energy storage device and the standalone power system, which maintains the voltage and frequency constant. Direct voltage control with current limits is developed for the converter with dynamic fast response. Mathematical models are developed to analysis the system performance as well as to design the lead-lag regulators in the control system. The proposed system is verified in the simulation and experiment.
