Energy-efficient and grid-friendly railway power system (RPS) is critical for the sustainable development of electrified railways. In this article, a cascaded energy storage system (CESS) is investigated for energy efficiency and power quality improvement of the RPS. First, the detailed operation principles of the CESS for multiple control objectives, including regenerative braking energy (RBE) utilization, reactive power compensation, and negative sequence current (NSC) suppression, are analyzed. On this basis, a hierarchical power flow control strategy is developed for achieving the power flow management and control of multiple objectives for CESS. Specifically, a multiobjective power flow management strategy is designed in the system layer to allocate the power references for the CESS under sufficient and insufficient capacity scenarios (ICS). In the sufficient capacity scenario (SCS), the power references are directly obtained by the operation principles. In the ICS, the power references are allocated through a three-stage optimization method considering the power shaving rate, grid power factor, and grid imbalance degree. Subsequently, the power references from the system layer are tracked in the converter layer to achieve power flow control. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed hierarchical power flow control strategy is verified through experimental results. The results show that the proposed CESS can achieve superior performance on RBE utilization and power quality improvement under complex operating conditions in electrified railways.
