Future electrification and battery trains will significantly increase traction power and connection points. Traction power loads have high peaks as well as periods of low consumption. Trackside battery systems can manage consumption for the benefit of the rail and power system operators. Trackside batteries can be located near current and future grid connection points or at many more locations close to an electrified rail line. Network Rail is working with Scottish Power Energy Networks, GE, Ricardo, Leeds University and NG-ESO to demonstrate a MW scale trackside battery at a site in Scotland. Part of the demonstration project is to develop the path for wider commercial implementation of larger trackside battery systems at a number of lo…
