The methods to stabilize power sources, which are the measures against voltage drop, power loading fluctuation, regenerative power lapse and so on, have been important issues in DC railway feeding circuits. Therefore, an energy storage medium that uses power efficiently and reduces above-mentioned problems is much concerned about. Electric double-layer capacitors (EDLC) can be charged and discharged rapidly in a short time with large power. On the other hand, a battery has a high energy density so that it is proper to be charged and discharged for a long time. Therefore, from a viewpoint of load pattern for electric railway, hybrid energy storage system combining both energy storage media may be effective. This paper introduces two methods for hybrid energy system theoretically, and describes the results of the fundamental tests.
