ENERGY ACCUMULATION SYSTEMS IN ELECTRIC TRANSPORT
Abstract
Considered known systems of energy storage in electric transport, their specific parameters, resource, economic and environmental aspects. Their comparative analysis of possibilities is conducted! Ap-plication of different types of accumulators in different types of transport, on the basis of which are made Conclusions on Trends in the development of accumulators, on the basis of which formulate recommenda-tions for the Choice of accumulators in for some specific transport messages and their structural features. It has been shown that inertial energy accumulation systems are already widely used in energy recovery in electric transport and for equalization of load in traction networks. In this case, the use of accumulating sys-tems with a flywheel in an electric vehicle is dangerous in saints with the risk of an imbalance. It is conclud-ed that superconducting energy storage systems should be considered promising as their use is associated with many difficulties. It is recommended that when using any energy storage device, consider the consider-able expenses necessary for the development and creation of energy storage and recovery systems, and begin practical work on their implementation after a comprehensive analysis of the possible benefits from their use in relation to additional equipment and maintenance costs, the possibility of upgrading existing energy stor-age devices, environmental aspects of use (at all stages, starting with the production of a power storage and ending with its utilization). The further progress in the development of virtually all types of drives, the au-thors associate, in the first place, with the emergence of new materials. It is concluded that at present, the most promising systems of energy storage for all types of transport, should be considered flywheel drives and drives based on super-capacitors. There are great opportunities, which consist in the development of com-bined energy storage systems using super-flywheels, super-capacitors and electro-chemical accumulators, each of which complements another by different parameters.
