The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority Metrorail (Metro) has successfully tested a wayside battery power system (BPS) to store unused energy from regenerative braking. In addition to demonstrating energy savings, peak power savings, and system voltage improvements, the BPS offers safety benefits, eliminating the risk of fire and is environmentally friendly. Metro is assessing the feasibility of implementing the new system across the entire network.
