Maxwell supplying ultracaps to ABB for hybrid version of Philadelphia rail energy recuperation system

Green Car Congress

Rather than having the braking energy be dissipated, the ENVILINE Energy Recuperation System (ERS) saves the surplus braking energy of the train by returning it back to the AC grid. When used with batteries, ESS can also provide emergency power and generate revenues by participating in the local energy markets.
