Storage devices can be divided into two groups: on-board energy storage devices, which are placed in the vehicles and off-board energy storage devices situated in traction substations or between them. Current research is focused mainly on two objectives. The first is to reduce the energy demand by introducing on-board energy storages in light electric vehicles like trams, trolleybuses or electrobuses. The latter is to provide a supplying system for heavy electric vehicles (trains, metro) with an off-board energy storage. In contrast to this, a lack of research in field of off-board storage energy systems for light electric vehicles can be noticed. Tram and trolleybus transportation is highly developed in plenty of European cities. Many tram and trolleybuses operators consider to put into service off-board energy storage systems. This motivated the present authors to analyze the efficiency of regenerative breaking in trolleybus supplying system using off-board energy storage.
