Fuel Hydrogen cells become nowadays a major candidate to replace the diesel in powering traction locomotives since they offer low emission of pollutant gases, high efficiency, and flexible modular structure without need for installation electrification infrastructure railway networks. However, cannot respond appropriately fast load transients due their slow internal electrochemical thermodynamic responses. Therefore, shall be integrated with dynamics Li-ion battery form hybrid power source...
The UK government plans to phase out pure diesel trains by 2040 and fully decarbonize railways 2050. Hydrogen fuel cell (HFC) trains, electrified using pantographs (Electrified Trains), battery electric multiple unit (BEMU) are considered the main solutions for decarbonizing railways. However, range of these decarbonization options' line upgrade cost advantages is unclear. This paper analyzes costs three types on different lines constructing a model, including operating fixed investment...
To extend the range and enhance delivery capacity for railway hydrogen-powered vehicles, research is being conducted on an sLH2-fuelled hybrid train, particularly its energy management strategy corresponding to newly applied hydrogen. Firstly, a train simulator established predict motion power consumption given route train. Subsequently, onboard sLH2 supply system implemented, which ensures comprehensive utilization. This incorporates reutilization of waste heat generated by fuel cell...
