Hydrogen fuel hybrid train concept for passenger transportation
Abstract
The development of the project is aimed at increasing the environmental and energy efficiency of railway transport and transport infrastructure by means of power supply from contact transmission of electric power to electric rolling stock and the use of environmentally friendly energy sources for traction of trains when the train travels along non-electrified sections of railways. In addition, the project takes into account modern trends in sustainable development and the desire to reduce the carbon footprint. An important aspect is the integration of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power plants, which can provide electricity to rolling stock even on sections without overhead lines. This will significantly reduce dependence on traditional energy sources, as well as reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The project is designed for regional transport systems that include a through rail transport network with electrified and non-electrified sections. The use of innovative technologies, such as battery systems and energy storage systems, will ensure the possibility of efficient operation of trains on all sections of the route, while improving the overall reliability and safety of transportation.
