Braking Energy Recovery : Technology Overview - March 2011

Full report

This document provides an overview of braking energy recovery technologies in the public transport field. To avoid energy losses and reduce the overall energy consumption, solutions are being developed by various suppliers. Three types of applications can be defined: mobile storage applications, stationary storage applications and stationary “back to the grid” applications. Different technologies are developed for these applications: batteries, supercapacitors, flywheels and reversible substations.
