An indepth study of the application of flywheel energy storage to the rail- road switchyard tocomotive was conducted io determine the practicality and viability of such a system. The system, as originally conceived, required the use of separately excited fraction motors, and a major +ask of the study was to test separately excited version of -the Electro-Motive Division's D77 traction motor. The attraciiveness of the system is very dependent on the operational scenario of the switching locomotive. Therefore, the study examined +he operation of locomotives at three flatyards: Dillard (Southern Railway System), Baldwin (Seaboard Coast Line), and Whitefish (Burlington Northern), Also, a large amount of data concerning the operating environment of switching locomotives was collected, It was concluded early in the study that a boxcar was required to carry the energy storage unit because no room existed on the iocomotive. This, combined with the increased auxiliary load, results in the same energy consumption with or without the FESS system, for a typical flatyard operation in spite of the energy recuperated and reused. Brake maintenance savings, although significant, are not sufficient to give an atiractive return on investment. -- Fi L 4,c , <, , d _ J PREFACE This final report summarizes the results of the Flywheel Energy Storage Switcher study. it is submitted to the Federal Sailroad Administration by the AiResearch Manufacturing Company of California, a division of The Garrett Cor- poration, in accordance with U.S. Departmen* of Transportation Contract No. DOT-FR-777-4247. The Flywheel Energy Storage Switcher Study represents the efforts of the AiResearch Manufacturing Company of California, assisted in the hardware test- ing by Motor Coils Manufacturing. The continued assistance and guidance of the Federal Railroad Advinistration (FRA) contracting officer's technical rep- resentative, Mr. William F. Cracker; the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory (LRL), Engineering Sciences Department systems analyst, Mr. Robert K. Abbott; and several members of the FRA and LRL staffs were invaluable to the successful comp!etion of the study. Major contributions were made by many U.S. railroads, who contributed com- prehensive information that was used to establish and maintain the necessary data base. in addition, the following railroads made a significant contribu- tion to the study by allowing the use of their flatyards for dat? collection: Burlington Northern (BN) Seaboard Coast Line (SCL) C- Southern Railway System (SRS) Specifically, the assistance of Mr. T. C. Gilbert (SRS), Mr. R. J. Morris (EN), and Mr. J. Prosser (SCL) was greatly appreciated. Southern Railway System also allowed the use of their test facilities to investigate locomotive performance, and they provided two EYD 077 traction motors for test purposes. The Southern Pacific Transportation Company made available an SW1500 loco- motive at their Taylor Yard facility to enable the equipment installation drawings to be made.
