Towards Realising Accelerated Innovation in Novel (TRAIN) Battery Technologies

Viva rail生产了一种概念验证的混合动力列车，该列车已被证明是可靠的，节能的和经济有效的。这项工作是自筹资金，并以非常及时和有效的方式交付。TRAIN项目将在合作伙伴之间的密切合作下以类似的方式交付。Vivarail和我们的合作伙伴Petalite和Valence提供轻型多功能经济高效的轨道解决方案，包括可以作为DMU（柴油多单元），EMU（电力多单元），电池或电池混合动力运行的单元，具体取决于可用的电源。电池技术将融合其他领域的进步。TRAIN项目将开发创新的快速充电技术和静态储能，以利用低速率的廉价能源进行高速率充电。两个电池模块悬挂在每个车厢下，独立运行或与其他能源（电力）联合运行。该解决方案显著节省了运营成本，降低了二氧化碳排放和噪音，并减少了维护需求，最大限度地减少了停机时间。该项目将充分开发创新设计并将其用于生产。输出包括：模块化电池组，以适应特定的应用；快速充电单元，工作电压约为600V；硬件/软件集成；静态充电评估；用原型技术测试列车：占空比演示和性能评估。

Viva rail has produced a proof of concept hybrid train which has been shown to be reliable, energy efficient and cost effective. This work was self-funded and delivered in a very timely and effective way. The TRAIN project will be delivered in a similar way with close cooperation between the partners. Vivarail and our partners Petalite and Valence, provide lightweight versatile cost-effective rail solutions including units that can run as DMU (diesel multiple unit), EMU (electric multiple unit), battery, or battery hybrid depending on power supplies available. Battery technology will incorporate advances from other sectors. The TRAIN project will develop innovative rapid charging technology and static energy storage to exploit low-rate cheap energy for high-rate charging. Two battery modules hang under each carriage and operate independently or in conjunction with other energy sources (electric). The solution provides significant operational savings, CO2 and noise reductions, and reduces maintenance demands to minimise out-of-service time. This project will fully develop innovative designs and validate them for production. Outputs include: Modular battery pack to suit specific applications; Rapid charging unit operating at approximately 600V; Integration of hardware/software; Static charging evaluation; Test train with prototype technologies: Duty cycle demonstrations and performance assessment.
