Abstract :
With the increasing awareness of fuel consumption and combustion engine exhaust emissions, more electrified locomotives emerge as promising solutions to fulfill the new requirements of being “Green”. This paper aims at reviewing the present situation and development of hybrid electric locomotive powertrains. The present diesel-electric locomotive powertrains, motor-assist locomotive powertrains as well as their alternators and traction motors are reviewed. Various other locomotive hybrid powertrains are also presented with the future trends discussed.
