The trial operation of supercapacitor technology on trams is the first in China

　　The first Optics Valley Quantum tram, fully loaded with passengers, departed from the Modern International Garden Station, marking the opening of the trial operation of the Wuhan Optics Valley tram T1T2 demonstration line constructed by the China Railway Electrification Bureau Group and other units.

Wuhan Optics Valley Tram T1T2 Demonstration Line has a total length of 36.4km. , No need to stop charging." Supercapacitors have the advantages of fast charging and discharging time, high power density, and long service life, which are more suitable for the operation requirements of modern trams. Optics Valley’s energy-storage modern tram is a new type of rail transit vehicle that integrates high-tech. It does not have the two braids of traditional trams, which is more conducive to maintaining a good city appearance. The trams using super capacitor technology are stored Sufficient power, no need to charge at stations, just use the time of passengers getting on and off the bus at some stations to automatically complete the charging, which can be completed within 30 seconds.

It is understood that the modern trams used by Optics Valley travel for one kilometer and only need 2.8 kWh of electricity. Calculated, the electricity cost is equivalent to less than 2 yuan for running one kilometer. In addition, the tram adopts a unique energy storage structure. When it encounters a downhill or braking section during driving, the vehicle can convert kinetic energy into electrical energy and feed it back to the super capacitor for storage, and the recycling efficiency can reach more than 80%.

As a new type of green public transportation, the T1T2 demonstration line will realize the integration of inter-city railways, subways, BRTs, conventional buses and other transportation modes, and practice "traffic guidance" The new concept of "urban development" accelerates the process of industry-city integration in the Greater Optics Valley region, and strengthens the radiating and leading role of Optics Valley as the new urban center of Wuhan.
