This chapter presents an operation of storage systems for diesel‐electric hybrid traction in a detailed manner with a view to developing a demonstrator. It features two storage system technologies onboard: electrochemical batteries and super capacitors. The dimensions of these storage systems based on the characteristic exploitation of the locomotive, as well as their energy management, are described in detail. The implementation of the hybrid locomotive demonstrator is also presented. The chapter introduces a set of exercises dedicated to using onboard storage systems for electrical traction in a pedagogical goal. This analysis is based on the kinematic profile to relate back to the basic energy requirements of the railway system. Starting with this description, the set of applications relevant to energy storage systems is described. The numerical applications derived from real cases are provided to illustrate these aspects and the energy difficulties pertaining to the onboard energy storage systems in the railway sector.
