Abstract
The objective of this paper is to present the methodology to investigate the
applicability and potential benefits of a hybrid-battery system for utilization in railway
vehicles. This system is comprised of two different battery technologies, combining
the advantages of both technologies in one system. To achieve this goal, suitable
battery systems have been evaluated in a market analysis, the resulting data was then
processed in DLR developed vehicle- and battery-simulation tools. It is shown that,
depending on the operational scenario and battery performance indicators, the
combination of different battery technologies in one hybrid-system can lead to
benefits regarding system volume, weight and investment cost, compared to single
battery technology solutions. Further research will include the impact on battery
lifetime and life cycle cost and aims to identify optimized operational scenarios.
