Abstract
The authors of the study work out to determinate of the mathematical model of supercapacitors as an object of an electric traction system capable of providing non-encumbering of obtaining research results and correct reproduction of energy exchange processes in conditions of repeated-short-term modes of traction load operation. In paper, authors make a comparative assessment of six models for the possibility of their integration into the model of electric traction systems with on-board placement of the energy storage.
