Locomotive kinetic energy management
Abstract
The paper addresses some basic theoretical and engineering problems of electrodynamic braking, presenting methods of regenerative braking returning energy to contact network or the energy storage batteries. The paper presenting the non-traditional structural schemas of the starting of DC/DC, AC/DC, AC/AC power systems locomotives 800 kW-6000 kW diesel engines using the energy storage batteries (block of supercapacitors).
