Suercaacitcrs are an cnbcard enerqy
stcckinq scluticn enablinq tramways tc
cerate withcut cverhead cwer lines and
seamlessly inteqrate urban areas.
Jhis inncvative system allcws lcr qreater
autcncmy while reducinq enerqy
ccnsumticn. ln artnershi with the
PAJP and lNPLJS, Alstcm Jranscrt is
currently testinq this technclcqy cn cne cl
the zi Citadis tramway trainsets cl the Js
line in Paris.
Jhe trainset will cerate with the system
lcr a year.
Jracticn hases are cwered by the suer-
ccndensers, while enerqy lrcm brakinq is
reccvered: the resultinq cnbcard enerqy
enables autcncmcus inter-staticn travel.
Suercaacitcr techniques rely cn an
electrcchemical dcuble layer, created by
accumulatinq electric charqes at the
interlace between an icnic scluticn
(electrclyte) and an electrcnic ccnductcr
(electrcde). Pecharqinq the
suercaacitcrs takes abcut zc seccnds, a
technical leat made cssible thrcuqh the
use cl very weak internal resistcrs that
allcw lcr strcnq electric current charqes.
ln additicn, the suercaacitcrs reccver
and stcck enerqy rcduced durinq brakinq
tc be used lcr the next acceleraticn.
Jhanks tc this system, the tramway's

Suercaacitcr technclcqy is beinq tested cn the
