Rolls-Royce | MTU Hybrid PowerPack
110The MTU Hybrid PowerPack is able to convert surplus braking energy into electrical energy via a generator. This electrical energy is then stored in lithium-ion batteries from where it can be tapped when needed for pulling away on start-up, for accelerating, or for supplying the train’s electrical consumers. This particular configuration of the MTU Hybrid PowerPack utilizes a Type 6H 1800 R75 diesel engine producing 315 kW and an electrical unit supplying up to 400 kW. In addition, the system incorporates SCR exhaust aftertreatment technology with a urea tank to ensure compliance with EU Stage IIIB emissions regulations that have been in place since 2012.
MTU Hybrid PowerPacks facilitate bimodal or—in conjunction with overhead power lines—even trimodal drive solutions. On a two-coach diesel railcar, for example, the diesel unit can be fitted in one coach whilst a battery is located in the other. The electric power for the drive motors is generated either via the diesel engine or the batteries or by both in combination.
