Greentech by Trainelec is an ambitious initiative developed by Trainelec, aimed at providing a range of more efficient products which are also more environmentally friendly.
The main values of Greentech by Trainelec are:
Our energy storage systems are composed of a DC/DC converter, which manages the energy charge and discharge of the super capacitor, and an energy storage module, which stores the energy into the batteries and super capacitors.
Evodrive is a system based on super capacitors which improves the energy efficiency of the train by recovering the energy released during braking. Evodrive is especially suited for trams, where the recovery with a conventional traction system is low, since the energy cannot normally be returned to the overhead power wire. This permits approximately 35% energy savings compared with a traditional system.
Freedrive is a system which incorporates the energy advantages of the Evodrive but, in addition, allows the vehicles to run without the need of catenaries between stops, making it possible to eliminate the use of overhead power wires between stops. It can be also equipped with batteries which allow the train to operate in back-up mode.
Our energy storage systems have the following benefits:
