KACO new energy: Charging battery systems<br />

more efficiently<br />

KACO new energy has expanded its range of charging rectifiers with the<br />

addition of a high voltage version, the LGP3001N2-HV. This new model<br />

charges battery systems efficiently and communicates with the battery<br />

management system (BMS) or the computer installed on board a train.<br />

At the present time the LGP3001N2-HV is being trialled with a new kind<br />

of hybrid train propulsion system. MTU Friedrichshafen GmbH, a subsidiary<br />

of Tognum, and DB RegioNetz Verkehrs GmbH, a Deutsche Bahn<br />

subsidiary, are conducting a research project using a railcar fitted with<br />

the prototype of a hybrid power pack that has been developed by MTU.<br />

The main purpose of this project is to investigate the re-use of braking<br />

energy for acceleration and for operating solely on electrical power. The<br />

LGP3001N2-HV is the intelligent subcomponent used in feeding in power<br />

at the depot, providing stationary vehicles with the required electrical<br />

energy. The parallel hybrid system can reduce fuel consumption and carbon<br />

dioxide emissions by up to 25 per cent. It ensures that railway noise<br />

levels and emissions are reduced in stations and on inner city routes.<br />

Kapsch CarrierCom: Power supply solution<br />

for places without an electricity supply<br />

The photovoltaic GSM-R repeater offers an alternative method of supplying<br />

power, using sunlight to provide an excellent, year-round and<br />

unrestricted, non-stop management service. This installation is not<br />

only ideal for sites w<strong>here</strong> t<strong>here</strong> is no electricity supply but can itself<br />

be used to generate and store electricity, which can then be used in<br />

other climatically suitable areas. The main advantage is that equipment<br />

can be operated independently of power suppliers, with associated<br />

savings in operating costs. In a technical sense the energy<br />

method of the GSM-R repeaters is deployed as a stand-alone system,<br />

by means of MPPT technology (Maximum Power Point Tracker)<br />

with one unit controlling the entire system. All the necessary operating<br />

conditions and data systems can be monitored either via a screen<br />

within the building or, just as easily, via remote control using a standard<br />

web browser. In this way all the required information can be accessed<br />

immediately.<br />
