摘要
Hydrogen electric locomotives are receiving growing attention and progressing towards net zero. This letter discusses the improvement of traditional diesel-electric locomotives to use hydrogen and reduce energy demand. An internal combustion engine featuring direct in-jection and jet ignition of the hydrogen is proposed. The four-strokes, 12 L, V12 engine achieves peak power of 750 kW and peak efficiency above 46%. The propulsion system may be further optimized by adopting battery energy storage to buffer the operation of the engine and provide extra power when accelerating. This way, the engine may be further optimized to work over a narrower range of speeds and loads and be made smaller to provide reduced power.(c) 2022 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC.
