Evaluation of Electric Energy Storage: batteries, flywheels and supercaps

摘要

Due to the lack of test standard, it is practically impossible to evaluate the performances of the different kinds of energy storage by directly using the data sheets of the suppliers. The ambition of the paper is to give a comparison between the main types of energy storage and the main results of an economic approach. But an absolute classification is unrealistic due to the large range of needs and constraints. The values are the results of tests and design for an utilisation for an urban rail vehicle utilisation.
