  • Rail Industry Decarbonisation Taskforce
    RAIL INDUSTRY DECARBONISATION TASKFORCE FINAL REPORT TO THE MINISTER FOR RAIL JULY 2019 | WITH THE SUPPORT OF RSSB DECARBONISATION TASKFORCE | FINAL REPORT | 01 Foreword I am pleased to present, on behalf of the Rail Industry Decarbonisation Taskforce and RSSB, the final report responding to the UK Minister for Rail’s challenge to the industry to remove “all diesel only trains off the track by 2040” and “produce a vision for how the rail industry will decarbonise.” The initial report, published in January 2019, set out credible technical options to achieve this goal and was widely welcomed by stakeholders. RIA has published its report on the Electrification Cost Challenge. This final report confirms that the rail industry can lead the way in Europe on the drive to decarbonise. It sets out the key building blocks required to achieve the vision that the rail industry can be a major contributor to the UK government’s1 target of net zero carbon2, 3 by 2050, provided that we start now. The GB rail system continues to be one of the lowest carbon modes of transport. It has made material progress in the short time since the publication of the initial report. • The industry has continued to develop technologies toward lower carbon. • RSSB has completed its technical report into decarbonisation, T1145. • The investigation into alternatives for freight, T1160, is well underway. • The Network Rail System Operator is conducting a strategic review to develop the lowest cost pathway for rail to decarbonise to contribute to the national net zero carbon target. The Taskforce is very cognisant of the government review of the rail industry ongoing under the independent chairmanship of Keith Williams and we have provided evidence accordingly.

  • Flywheel Energy Storage Systems for Rail
    Imperial College London Department of Mechanical Engineering Flywheel Energy Storage Systems for Rail Matthew Read November 2010 Thesis submitted for the Diploma of the Imperial College (DIC), PhD degree of Imperial College London 1 I declare that the research presented in this Thesis is my own work and that the work of others is properly acknowledged and referenced. Matthew Read 2 Abstract In current non-electrified rail systems there is a significant loss of energy during vehicle braking. The aim of this research has been to investigate the potential benefits of introducing onboard regenerative braking systems to rail vehicles. An overview of energy saving measures proposed within the rail industry is presented along with a review of different energy storage devices and systems developed for both rail and automotive applications. Advanced flywheels have been identified as a candidate energy storage device for rail applications, combining high specific power and energy. In order to assess the potential benefits of energy storage systems in rail vehicles, a computational model of a conventional regional diesel train has been developed. This has been used to define a base level of vehicle performance, and to investigate the effects of energy efficient control strategies focussing on the application of coasting prior to braking. The impact of these measures on both the requirements of an energy storage system and the potential benefits of a hybrid train have been assessed. A detailed study of a range of existing and novel mechanical flywheel transmissions has been performed. The interaction between the flywheel, transmission and vehicle is investigated using a novel application-independent analysis method which has been developed to characterise and compare the performance of different systems.

The authors have greatly benefited from input and feedback from Sophie Bartosch and Lena Donat from Germanwatch e.V. and Lauren Sidner and Michael Westphal at the World Resources Institute. The views and assumptions expressed in this report represent the views of the authors and not necessarily those of the BMZ. Cover picture: Aki Kachi Berlin Nord-Süd-Grünzug 2020 Download the report http://newclimate.org/publications/ Aligning transport investments with the Paris Agreement Executive Summary In the past few years, transport made up about 27% of European emissions. In 2017, transport emissions were 28% above 1990 levels and until recently were on a rapid growth trajectory as a share of the EU’s overall emissions as other sectors, notably electricity generation, move towards decarbonisation (EEA, 2019b, 2020). The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 had a large impact on global and European emissions patterns, including in the transport sector, but despite the drop, emissions are overall expected to return to previous trends depending on the speed of the economic recovery. Achieving the EU’s long-term climate goals under the Paris Agreement will still be a monumental challenge and current policies are not sufficient to achieve them.

  • Case Study on HYBRID VEHICLES Power Vehicle Type
    Case Study on HYBRID VEHICLES Power Power sources for hybrid vehicles include: Coal, wood or other solid combustibles Compressed or liquefied natural gas Electricity Electromagnetic fields, Radio waves Electric vehicle battery Human powered e.g. pedaling or rowing Hydrogen On-board or out-board rechargeable energy storage system (RESS) Petrol or Diesel fuel Solar Wind Vehicle type Two-wheeled and cycle-type vehicles Mopeds, electric bicycles, and even electric kick scooters are a simple form of a hybrid, as power is delivered both via an internal combustion engine or electric motor and the rider's muscles. Early prototypes of motorcycles in the late 19th century used the same principles to power it up. In a parallel hybrid bicycle human and motor power are mechanically coupled at the pedal drive train or at the rear or the front wheel, e.g. using a hub motor, a roller pressing onto a tire, or a connection to a wheel using a transmission element. Human and motor torques are added together. Almost all manufactured Motorized bicycles, Mopeds are of this type. In a series hybrid bicycle (SH) the user powers a generator using the pedals. This is converted into electricity and can be fed directly to the motor giving a chainless bicycle but also to charge a battery. The motor draws power from the battery and must be able to deliver the full mechanical torque required because none is available from the pedals. SH bicycles are commercially available, because they are very simple in theory and manufacturing. The first known prototype and publication of an SH bicycle is by Augustus Kinzel (US Patent 3'884'317) in 1975.

  • Battery-Powered Drive Systems: Latest Technologies and Outlook
    138 Hitachi Review Vol. 66 (2017), No. 2 Featured Articles II Battery-powered Drive Systems: Latest Technologies and Outlook Yasuhiro Nagaura OVERVIEW: Recently, progress is being made on the practical application Ryoichi Oishi of technologies for installing high-capacity lithium-ion batteries in rolling Motomi Shimada stock and using them for traction power. In particular, use of batteries in rolling stock that runs on non-electrified sections of track can save energy, Takashi Kaneko minimize noise, and reduce maintenance requirements compared with conventional diesel railcars. Hitachi has successfully commercialized a battery-powered train that can run on non-electrified sections of track by using energy stored in batteries that are charged from the alternating current overhead lines, and delivered it as the JR Kyushu Series BEC819. For hybrid rolling stock that supply power using a diesel engine and batteries, Hitachi has also developed a function that enables them to operate as electric railcars by fitting them with low-capacity emergency batteries that can be used when the main batteries are unavailable. The hybrid rolling stock have been delivered as the JR East Series HB-E210 and Series HB-E300 trains (fleet expansion trains). In the future, Hitachi will continue to meet a wide range of customer needs by drawing on the experience it has accumulated in battery-based technologies through its work on trains powered by batteries.

  • A Hydrogen Hybrid Powertrain for the Union- Pearson Railway
    A Hydrogen Hybrid Powertrain for the Union- Pearson Railway by Mehran Haji Akhoundzadeh A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Applied Science in Chemical Engineering Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2019 ©Mehran Haji Akhoundzadeh 2019 AUTHOR'S DECLARATION I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract Canadian legislation attempts to regulate particle emissions released from the rail transportation sector. Assessment of the impact of rolling stock is the key to perform such regulations. Different strategies have been proposed to evaluate the health risks of mobile emission sources. Popular methods in measuring health assessment of rolling stock were reviewed in this study. Hydrail was proposed as an alternative option helping Canadian legislation to regulate emission generated from this mode of transportation. The feasibility of developing Hydrail technology is investigated in this study. As a case study, the drive cycle of the DMUs working on the Air-Rail link’s tracks of Great Toronto Area (GTA) was extracted. A theoretical model was implemented to estimate the duty cycle of the train as it was not possible to access the DMU’s throttle data. According to the duty cycle estimator subsystem, the annual emission released from the track is calculated. To assess the health risk on people, 32 places which are located near the track were collected, and the locations were extracted using Google Earth.
