Shunting locomotives perform specific functions characterized by short mileages, variable load weights and a high idling rate. Battery technology based on traction is a very suitable solution for shunting locomotives due to the possibility of accumulating kinetic energy in the power supply. The optimization of the energy efficiency of regenerative braking and the possibilities for efficient shunting in industrial plant were studied.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
