ABSTRACT
Carbon neutrality is a necessary goal as a countermeasure against climate change. Therefore, it has become more important to promote further energy saving and the use of energy storage systems in railway systems. Notwithstanding, falls in passenger traffic due to COVID-19 have had a significant impact on railway management, and reducing infrastructure maintenance costs has become an urgent issue. This paper presents recent research and development on power supply systems, especially for decarbonizing the railways and reducing resources required for maintenance of overhead contact line systems. © 2022 Ken-yusha Inc..
