train regenerative power capacity on the Bannan line. It investigates advantages of super capacitor

energy storage systems for energy recycling via regenerative braking, and it calculates a set of super
capacitor energy storage system parameters suitable for the Taipei MRT. This research uses the
railway system software RAILSIM and Matlab to simulate operations of the Bannan line. Having
calculated regenerative braking energy values and schedule arrangements of the Bannan and Wenhu

lines, simulation results and theoretical values of the formula are compared to determine suitable
super capacitor energy storage capacity and location. Findings will help improve regenerative
energy recovery rates and energy savings, leading to operational cost reduction.
