(snip) Did anyone else spot "Some level of onboard energy storage may provide an optimal solution overall"? If you are only running on core routes, surely there will almost always be other trains in the same section to use the regenerated energy? North of the Thames, energy could be exported to the grid anyway, and inverting substations could be considered for the SR routes. Energy storage is surely needed only for extremities of the network where traffic is light - Seaford, Arun Valley, etc. I can't see it being a problem in the metro area or Brighton main line. Or is it just in case units have to limp out of sections which have suffered a loss of traction supply..? Almost certainly the latter, by the sounds of it. |
