Smart Energy management solutions for DC traction power networks

 

ABB, the largest independent provider of DC wayside energy management solutions, offers a complete suite of products for more energy efficient rail transportation allowing to reduce energy consumption by as much as 30 percent. With the Enviline product portfolio, ABB offers the right solution for each network environment.

 

Energy efficiency is the topic of the day in the world of public transport. In addition to the protection of the environment, economic interests are at the center in the operation of urban transport systems: every kilowatt-hour saved is worth doing it.

New approaches combined with modern technologies allow to reinject surplus braking energy into the overlaying medium voltage grid or to store it on board of the train or in wayside energy storage systems.

These new possibilities make it possible to achieve high targets in terms of energy savings.
