The technology will be used for rapid-energy regeneration in the trolley system in the capital city of Hunan province in China.
As durable and efficient energy storage solutions are in strong market demand, Maxwell's 51V module provides a self-cooling system solution that helps to optimize the performance of hybrid buses and other high-duty cycle applications.
Subway system will be the first project in Maxwell's multi-year partnership with China's largest rail vehicle manufacturer, China Railway Rolling Stock Corp.
The 24-volt ESM enables vehicles to start and operate reliably in the face of cold weather and infrequent starting. The new product expands Maxwell’s Engine Starting Solutions line to build on the success of its 12-volt ESM and deliver those benefits to diesel engine vehicles used in transportation, construction, military, agricultural, forestry, mining and other industries.
Ultracapacitors are used in a variety of industries ranging from automotive, rail, truck and bus, amongst others.
Each installation employs up to 200 of Maxwell's 48-volt multi-cell ultracapacitor modules. Based on their positive experience to date, Woojin and rail system operators are planning several additional installations in 2014 and 2015.
Twenty-seven light rail vehicles will be retrofitted with an ultra capacitor-based, energy storage system, which captures and stores regenerative braking energy as it is generated, uses the stored energy for acceleration and releases surplus energy to other vehicles on the system as needed.
Ultracapacitors can handle more than one million charge and discharge cycles and offer a longer lifespan than batteries, according to the company.
Maxwell is Voith's exclusive supplier of ultracapacitor modules assembled in the U.S. to meet local content requirements.
