ENERGY SAVING SOLUTIONS FOR ELECTRIC AND HYBRID PUBLIC TRANSPORT
OUR OFFER
ENERGY REGENERATION
-
When electric- or hybrid-powered rail vehicle (e.g., trains, trams) brakes, Kinetic recovers wasted energy and stores it
-
When the vehicle accelerates, Kinetic releases energy to the vehicle's engine
-
Depending on the frequency of stops and the type of vehicle Kinetic could be placed wayside or mounted on the vehicle
-
In addition to reduced energy consumption and CO2 emission Kinetic could provide an additional boost to the vehicle for faster acceleration
PEAK SHAVING
-
A large number of trains accelerating and decelerating in quick succession during the peak hours cause frequency and voltage fluctuations and put electric networks and equipment under a considerable strain
-
Kinetic accumulates energy during low demand times to provide peak power to the grid when needed
-
Kinetic automatically regulates frequency and voltage, maintaining them within the required range thus mitigating the risks of blackouts and protecting the machinery
-
In addition, improved energy quality allows for reduced intervals between trains
CRITICAL SYSTEMS AND EQUIPMENT SAFETY
-
Distortions and deviations that occur in energy systems of transport networks could adversely affect or even take out critical systems like signalling control or trains' internal systems
-
Gamma increases safety and reliability of the overall electric system as well as reduces maintenance and repair costs of the electric equipment by improving the quality of the power supply
-
Gamma stabilizes the current, eliminates short circuits, reduces harmonic currents, and smoothes ripples
OTHER BENEFITS
Affordable and reliable service over a longer time
-
Unlimited number of 100% DOD cycles without degradation
-
Long service life of more than 25 years
-
Simple and low-cost maintenance
-
Wide operating temperature range from -40 ° C to +80 °C
-
Complete operational safety, including explosion- and burst-proof (no need for protective casing)
-
Environmentally friendly and recyclable, manufactured using non-hazardous materials
Сompatible with most electric-powered rail vehicles and could be easily integrated into the infrastructure
-
Сompatible with any DC-powered electric- or hybrid-powered rail transport
-
Requires only minor software adjustments and modifications to vehicles and infrastructure
-
Due to compact size and lightweight could be located wayside or mounted on the vehicle
IMPROVED ENERGY EFFICIENCY
-
Existing smoothing reactors and filters although provide some degree of protection to the electrical equipment suffer from design flaws that lead to heavy magnetic flux and low energy efficiency
-
Gamma leverages the unique design and technology to significantly reduce reactive power and energy losses while not compromising on the quality and reliability of filtration
