KONČAR Electrical Automobiles has chosen Forsee Energy’s ZEN 55 LFP RAIL battery methods for its new technology of battery a number of models (BMU) and battery-electric a number of models (BEMU). The Croatian producer, a part of the KONČAR Group, has positioned an preliminary order to equip eight trains for operation in Croatia. KONČAR has already developed and deployed battery and battery-electric a number of models in Europe.
The 2- or three-car units are designed to run on non-electrified traces, drawing on the onboard ZEN 55 LFP RAIL packs for propulsion, auxiliary energy and regenerative braking. Every set carries 200 to 300 passengers. On a battery-electric a number of unit, the pack fees from the overhead line the place one exists and powers the practice the place it doesn’t, so a single set can serve each electrified important traces and non-electrified branches with out switching to diesel energy. Regenerative braking recovers vitality at every cease.
Paired with a Forsee Energy battery administration system, the packs are designed to work with current railway infrastructure, together with tracks and signaling methods, 25 kV catenary, in-motion charging and KONCHARGE charging stations. The ZEN 55 LFP RAIL is a modular system constructed round 55 kWh modules, which may be mixed into configurations starting from a number of kWh to multi-megawatt-hour storage for each hybrid and absolutely electrical trains. It helps voltage architectures as much as 1,500 V for integration with current rolling inventory powertrains, and the LFP system is rated for as much as 7,000 cycles. LFP chemistry trades some vitality density for lengthy cycle life and steady thermal habits, which fits the repeated every day charging of regional responsibility.
The corporate says the ZEN 55 LFP RAIL meets EN 50126 SIL2 together with rail and battery requirements together with IEC 62928, IEC 62619, IEC 62620, IEC 61373 and EN 45545.
