Abstract:
An electrical grid management system is disclosed, and includes a plurality of segmented pathways that each include a corresponding renewable energy source and a vehicle propelled along the plurality of segmented pathways. The electrical grid management system includes a system control module including control logic determining a baseline operational plan. The baseline operation plan is based on scheduling and operational requirements of the vehicle. The electrical grid management system also includes a corresponding supercapacitor provided for at least one of the plurality of segmented pathways. The supercapacitor stores energy generated by the corresponding renewable energy source for later use to propel the vehicle along a corresponding segmented pathway. The electrical grid management system includes a plurality of section control modules in communication with the system control module, the corresponding supercapacitor, and the main grid.
