As a platform for exchanging knowledge, expertise and experiences, GPSM supports the transformation towards sustainability worldwide. It serves as a network of information from academia, businesses, civil society and associations. The GPSM supports the implementation of sustainable mobility and green logistics solutions in a comprehensive manner. In cooperation with various stakeholders from economic, scientific and societal backgrounds, the broad range of possible concepts, measures and technologies in the transport sector can be explored and prepared for implementation. The GPSM is a reliable and inspiring network that offers access to expert knowledge, as well as networking formats. The GPSM is comprised of more than 150 reputable stakeholders in Germany. The GPSM is part of Germany’s aspiration to be a trailblazer in progressive climate policy, and in follow-up to the Rio+20 process, to lead other international forums on sustainable development as well as in European integration. Integrity and respect are core principles of our partnership values and mission. The transferability of concepts and ideas hinges upon respecting local and regional diversity, skillsets and experien- ces, as well as acknowledging their unique constraints. www.german-sustainable-mobility.de Discover Berlin by Sustainable Transport This guide to Berlin’s intermodal transportation system leads you from the main train station to the transport hub of Alexanderplatz, to the redeveloped Potsdamer Platz with its high-qua- lity architecture before ending the tour in the trendy borough of Kreuzberg.

  • Techno-Economic Assessment of Battery Electric Trains and Recharging Infrastructure Alternatives Integrating Adjacent Renewable Energy Sources
    sustainability Article Techno-Economic Assessment of Battery Electric Trains and Recharging Infrastructure Alternatives Integrating Adjacent Renewable Energy Sources Christoph Streuling 1,* , Johannes Pagenkopf 1, Moritz Schenker 1 and Kim Lakeit 2 1 German Aerospace Center (DLR), Institute of Vehicle Concepts, 70569 Stuttgart, Germany; [email protected] (J.P.); [email protected] (M.S.) 2 Institute of Electric Power Systems, Otto von Guericke University, 39106 Magdeburg, Germany; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Battery electric multiple units (BEMU) are an effective path towards a decarbonized regional rail transport on partly electrified rail lines. As a means of sector coupling, the BEMU recharging energy demand provided through overhead line islands can be covered from decentralized renewable energy sources (RES). Thus, fully carbon-free electricity for rail transport purposes can be obtained. In this study, we analyze cost reduction potentials of efficient recharging infrastructure positioning and the feasibility of covering BEMU energy demand by direct-use of locally produced renewable electricity. Therefore, we set up a model-based approach which assesses relevant lifecycle costs (LCC) of different trackside electrification alternatives comparing energy supply from local RES and grid consumption. The model-based approach is applied to the example of a German regional rail line. In Citation: Streuling, C.; Pagenkopf, J.; the case of an overhead line island, the direct-use of electricity from adjacent wind power plants with Schenker, M.; Lakeit, K. on-site battery storage results in relevant LCC of EUR 173.4 M/30a, while grid consumption results in Techno-Economic Assessment of EUR 176.2 M/30a whereas full electrification results in EUR 224.5 M/30a.
