The article considers the possibilities of saving the regenerative braking energy in �koda 24Tr type trolleybuses by installing the onboard supercapacitor energy storage system (ESS) and improving its performance with automated switching to the autonomous traction mode. Proposed is an ESS control system with constant DC bus voltage in the supercapacitor charging mode and ...

A drive train for an electric vehicle includes a traction battery, a power drive circuit, a main contactor for connecting and disconnecting the traction battery and the power drive circuit, a voltage detector across contacts of the main contactor, and a controller for controlling the main ...

This paper discusses the characteristics of the concept and includes discussion of the system constraints, including traction battery constraints, and brief descriptions of the major subsystems being developed. The components discussed include: the system controller, dc to ac inverter, an internal permanent magnet ac motor and a ...

Rheostatic control of dc traction motors has been in use for several decades. With the advent of power electronics, however, more efficient alternate propulsion systems have been developed. These include chopper controls, ac drive with induction motors, systems using onboard energy storage and ac ...

This paper is aimed at providing the designing method of a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) control system for the high-speed and the single-phase AC powered Gauge Changing Train (GCT). The state-of-the-art electrical motive unit is equipped with downsized direct drive type PMSMs for the simplified gauge changeable truck. Due to the feeding the ...

Roller traction drives and geared planetary drives have the common characteristic of multiple drive elements clustered symmetrically around a central member. This form of construction, adopted in order to maximize torque capacity, results in the drive inp...
