  • Abstract
    This paper evaluates, in a case study with real data, the advantages of using regenerative braking in a tram line, both in case of non-reversible substations and substations equipped with battery energy storage. It shows that the addition of storage enhances energy efficiency a lot, and therefore this is a very cost-effective solution.
