Zero Emission Powering of Auxiliary Loads in Stations

该项目提供了一种解决方案，可大幅减少柴油客运列车空转时的氮氧化物和颗粒物等排放。目前英国有超过3，500辆客运铁路车辆安装了柴油发动机，其中大部分将从减排中受益匪浅，特别是在柴油发动机目前继续空转或静止时升高空转的车站及其周围，有时在终点站长达30分钟。这是NOx、PM排放等造成当地空气质量问题的重要因素。Brecknell Willis旨在通过生产低成本的自动化海岸电源为每辆车辆的辅助负载供电，并使柴油发动机在静止时停止工作，进一步开发其现有的集电产品组合。该项目将为铁路带来几项关键的成本和脱碳效益。*通过自动化海岸供应，使DMU能够停留在任何启用的车站或车辆段，并关闭发动机，从而实现车站内和周围的零排放（包括NOx和PM）。由于在车辆静止时不使用柴油发动机，因此可通过减少燃料消耗，按比例平均减少所有排放。* 通过节省燃料，可降低列车运营商的运营成本。* 不需要对现有柴油发动机或传动系统进行任何修改，并将补充任何其他脱碳措施。*与任何其他先前或当前的混合解决方案相比，它应提供成本和风险显著降低的解决方案

This project provides a solution to substantially reduce emissions including NOx and PM when diesel passenger trains are idling.There are over 3,500 passenger rail vehicles in the UK currently fitted with a diesel engine, the large majority of these would significantly benefit from emissions reduction, especially in and around stations, where diesel engines currently continue to idle, or elevated idle whilst stationary, sometimes for up to 30 minutes at a terminal station. This is a significant contributor to local air quality issues from NOx, PM emissions etc.Brecknell Willis aim to further develop their existing current collection product portfolio by producing a low-cost, automated shore supply for powering the auxiliary loads of each vehicle and enabling the diesel engines to be disabled while stationary.This project will enable several key cost and decarbonisation benefits to the railway.* It shall enable zero emissions, including NOx and PM, in and around the station, by enabling a DMU to dwell at any enabled station or depot with the engine switched off through an automated shore supply.* It shall enable a proportional average reduction in all emissions, through reduced fuel consumption due to not using the diesel engine whilst the vehicle is stationary* It shall enable reduced operating costs for the train operator through fuel saving* It will not require any modification to the existing diesel engines or drivetrain and will compliment any other decarbonisation initiatives.* It shall provide a substantially lower cost and risk solution when compared to any other previous or current hybrid solutions
