Battery-powered tramways are a type of public transportation system that rely on batteries for power. New projects in this field often focus on lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, which is a family of electrochemistries that has developed over the last 30 years. One relatively new type of Li-ion battery is Lithium Titanate Oxide (LTO).
For reliable service, a tram should be built for 30-40 years. Saft sized the batteries to provide a lifetime of at least seven years, matching CAF’s maintenance intervals.
Driving cycles of the tram: (a) Speed, (b) Acceleration, (c) Mileage. Fig.7 (a) gives three operation modes (OPM) of the tram: normal running (OPM = 0), UC charging (OPM = 1) and LB charging (OPM = 2). The time consumption proportion for three OPMs are 51%, 29% and 20%, respectively.
The tram is running forward and backward on the rail line in the testing periods. Operation Mode Switching (OPMS) method. The tram is mainly manually operated based on a control screen, shown in Fig.5 (b). For safety in the test period, the LB and UC are only working in discharging mode when the tram is running.
The tram is composed of bidirectional units with five articulated bodies resting on three motor bogies . The three motor bogies are driven by the tram traction system via an inverter box, which consists of three independent Variable Velocity Variable Frequency (VVVF) converters that supply the traction motors (one per wheel).
Hitachi Rail’s battery-powered tram technology offers the major benefit of requiring no electrified infrastructure. Our trams can operate on sections of routes with no overhead wires, such as historic city centres, like Florence, Italy, and offer range increase of up to 5km.

Battery trams to avoid overhead wires in historic Firenze
The trams will be 33·5 m long with 54 seats and a maximum capacity of 278 passengers, and will feature large windows and an ''innovative'' air-conditioning system. They will have a maximum speed of 70 km/h, with regenerative braking to return power to the batteries to reduce overall energy consumption.
Next-generation traction batteries
Sizing the Li-ion batteries is relatively straightforward for tramway applications. As trams run the same route, day-in day-out, an engineer has an accurate estimate of how much power and energy the batteries will require. So, the maths are relatively easy to calculate once the maximum passenger capacity, the temperature range of the local ...

Powering trams
As you might imagine, acceleration requires the most power as it takes a lot to move a 40-54t vehicle from a standstill up to operating speed; around 25 times higher than running at a sustained, moderate speed on level track. The power required is calculated using basic Newtonian physics: the tractive effort required for acceleration is the mass multiplied by …

Tram
The basic operation principle of that first electric tram remains in use today – gathering of electricity from overhand cable network via pantograph or trolley pole (all attempts of building trams with built-in batteries failed). Just a year later in 1881, the first regular electric tram line was opened in Lichterfelde, then a suburb of Berlin. After that successful experiment and ...
