Trains in the Dhaka Metro Rail network, the country's first, will be powered by electricity from the national grid. But the metro trains have also been equipped with high-capacity batteries to ensure that they keep running during emergencies. In case the power supply from the national grid is disrupted, the ESS will be activated to bring the metro trains to their nearest station, reports bdnews24.com. The ESS is essentially a backup system which will be charged regularly through the train's regenerative braking system. According to the DMTCL, there will be two receiving sub-stations in the Uttara Depot and Motijheel areas to ensure an uninterrupted power supply to the metro rail network.
