The invention discloses a tramcar power 
system and a control method. The 
system is characterized in that a fuel battery is connected with a unidirectional direct-current converter; a super 
capacitor is connected with a first bidirectional direct-current converter; a 
power battery is connected with a second bidirectional direct-current converter; the unidirectional direct-current converter, the first bidirectional direct-current converter and the second bidirectional direct-current converter are connected with an 
inverter by direct-current buses; the 
inverter is connected with a motor of a tramcar; the fuel battery, the super 
capacitor, the 
power battery, the first bidirectional direct-current converter, the second bidirectional direct-current converter and the 
inverter are connected with a main 
control unit; the main 
control unit is connected with a control device of the tramcar. According to the tramcar power 
system and the control method, the super 
capacitor, the fuel battery and the 
power battery are matched for supplying power so that the disadvantages that energy of the super capacitor is not enough and the power property of the power battery is not enough are solved, and the 
disadvantage complementation of energy-storing parts is realized; the fuel battery and the power battery are mutually redundant so as to realize the emergency rescuing under a fault condition of a power supplying part.
