This chapter discusses an integration of energy storage systems (ESS) that focused on onboard railway applications and more particularly on autonomous traction. The latter carry a source of primary energy onboard and convert it to supply the power train and auxiliaries with electricity. Combining these energy production and storage systems with energy management solutions leads to the notion of railway smart grids, or smart railway power grids, whose objective is to address these issues by providing multiple rail services. The chapter describes the issues pertaining to the implementation of railway power systems and presents the configuration of hybrid railway power substations (HRPS). It presents the evolution of the energy management solutions for HRPS. Third section formulates a sensitivity study carried out in laboratories using an experimental platform, which makes it possible to evaluate the robustness of the supervisor. Finaly presents the development prospects of smart railway power grids.
