For the purpose of energy saving, a fuel cell train is attracting public attention in the railway field. The fuel cell train is driven by fuel cell and battery hybrid power, and stores energy in the form of hydrogen. The required amount of these power and energy are depending on the conditions of line alignments such as a gradient, a running distance. Therefore, in this study, we carried out energy...
Main target of this research is developing of a simple hybrid power control method for existing trains. This paper describes the design, construction and testing of the drive control method for the autonomous-decentralized hybrid test train equipped with proton-exchange-membrane-type fuel cells (PEMFC) system and lithium-ion battery system (Li-Batt). The main object of this research is to estimate...
In order to save energy and reduce environmental burdens, we (Railway Technical Research Institute) have been developing a railway vehicle powered by fuel cells since FY 2001. In FY 2006, we produced the railway vehicle powered by a 100 kW-class fuel cell system with assumed the power supply for railway vehicle traction, and succeeded in making the vehicle run for one car. The results of these tests...
