Guiding the Selection & Application of Wayside Energy Storage Technologies for Rail Transit and Electric Utilities Transit Cooperative Research Program Transportation Research Board Page 49 of 61 storage size and performance metrics. However, a full-scale test of proposed energy storage systems would help in confirming modeling assumptions and provide real-world verification of energy storage device performance including the system electrical receptivity, which affects the potential energy saving benefit of wayside energy storage systems. Some agencies are looking at installing wayside energy storage systems, but detailed modeling and careful data collection will also be needed to best understand the performance and long-term durability of these systems. 10 Acknowledgments The authors greatly appreciate the support of the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) for their participation in the APTA Energy Storage Research Consortium, the Sacramento Municipal Power District (SMUD) for their help in the interpretation of utility charge rate plans, and the Transportation Research Board for providing funding and direction for this study. The authors are also indebted to all members of the APTA/EPRI Energy Storage Research Consortium who devoted many hours to discussions and meetings to help outline the scope and application of energy storage research. And finally the authors thank our energy storage industry partners who provided real-world performance data for their devices. 11 References [1] Symposium: TCRP C-75 Wayside Energy for Transit, APTA/EPRI Energy Storage Research Consortium, American Public Transportation Association, Washington, DC, February 10, 2010.
