Battery-electric shunting locomotive with lithium-polymer storage batteries

Alexander A. Shtang, Mikhail V. Yaroslavtsev

Abstract

Battery-electric locomotives with lithium-polymer storage batteries are proposed for shunting operations on electrified railroad lines considering experience of energy storage devices applications. Main parameters of traction drive are calculated and its functional scheme is shown in the article. Advantages of battery-electric over diesel locomotives are discussed, estimated fuel economy is shown.
