混合动力机车

Many rail operators adopt hybrid models since full electrification isn't always available in yards or sidetracks. RECOM is committed to supporting this shift with battery chargers like the RMOC18k, which are tailored to meet railway standards.

The global shift toward electric cars over internal combustion engines gets a lot of attention, but another key focus in greener travel is to reduce the diesel consumption by shifting to electric locomotives — battery-powered or fuel-cell-powered units.

Since going all-electric requires fully electrified railroads, which often aren't available in train shunting yards or on side tracks, many rail operators are turning to a hybrid model. The move is expected to reduce energy consumption by 30 percent, but it requires robust and reliable power supplies.

Customers turn to RECOM to supply the necessary 15kW to 20kW on-board depot charger for the first batch of hybrid shunting locomotives. RECOM’s existing RMOC18K was originally designed for on-highway vehicle batteries, but it was already well suited to the needs of the railway depot charger.

The RMOC18K can generate output power of 18kW, with output voltage ranging up to 920VDC, with 3-phase 400VAC input supplied from the industry-standard CEE-32A socket. The design just needs modified connectors to be upgraded to railway standards — and ready to roll.

RECOM also offers a range of standard battery chargers with cascadable power levels for rolling stock and locomotives, like the compact RMOC320x and RMOC4000x families.
