Adelaide Metro Switches to Battery Technology on Diesel Trains

of Australia Adelaide Underground public transport system, diesel trains in line with sustainable transport goals Battery booster has made a significant transformation. $7,2 million This project aims to reduce fuel costs and environmental impacts. ABB was implemented in cooperation with.

Project Scope and Implementation Process

Within the scope of the project, Class 3000 (22 single-wagon diesel trains) ve Class 3100 (14 two-wagon diesel trains) have been modernized. These trains, Between 1988 and 1996 Comeng and Clyde Engineering It was produced by. With the upgrades made The first modernized train will be delivered in the fall of 2023 upon entering service, the last one in January 2024 started his journey.

With this transformation Adelaide Underground's old diesel trains to be upgraded with energy efficiency booster ESS energy storage systems ve Bordline Max 700-HP lithium-ion batteries These batteries are used to charge the train while it is in motion. regenerative braking It allows it to self-charge and power on-board electronic systems.

Significant Reduction in Fuel Consumption

One of the biggest advantages of the new system is, geofencing technology thanks to the batteries Automatic activation near the station. In this way, trains can be used in station areas It reduces fuel consumption and releases fewer emissions into the environment.According to calculations, this innovation will reduce diesel fuel consumption. Reduces by 20%. This is also per year Savings between 700.000 and 1 million litres of diesel means.

Adelaide Metro's Green Future

This project not only reduces fuel costs but also Adelaide Metro helps reduce carbon footprint ve to create a more sustainable public transport system It helps. Cleaner, quieter and more efficient trains, urban transportation makes a significant contribution to making it more environmentally friendly.

In addition, this modernization other public transport systems in an exemplary model Adelaide Metro has implemented this on diesel trains. battery boosted conversion, could pave the way for more innovative and sustainable solutions in suburban transport.
