El proyecto de la UE FCH2RAIL (Fuel Cell Hybrid Power Pack for Rail Applications), con socios de B\u00e9lgica, Alemania, Espa\u00f1a y Portugal, est\u00e1 desarrollando y probando un nuevo prototipo de tren de emisiones cero. La clave de la idea es una combinaci\u00f3n de electricidad procedente de cables a\u00e9reos con un paquete de energ\u00eda de pila de combustible.<\/p>\n
++ Este art\u00edculo ha sido actualizado. Por favor, contin\u00fae leyendo a continuaci\u00f3n. ++<\/em><\/p>\n FCH2RAIL quiere ofrecer una alternativa a las locomotoras diesel convencionales y a los trenes que tienen que cruzar los tramos sin l\u00ednea a\u00e9rea. El n\u00facleo del proyecto es lo que el consorcio denomina \"un sistema de propulsi\u00f3n h\u00edbrido bimodal\" que combina la energ\u00eda de las l\u00edneas a\u00e9reas con un \"paquete de energ\u00eda h\u00edbrido de pilas de combustible\". Este \u00faltimo se compone de pilas de combustible de hidr\u00f3geno y bater\u00edas. El concepto: si hay energ\u00eda disponible de las l\u00edneas a\u00e9reas, el tren la utiliza; si no hay l\u00edneas a\u00e9reas, la energ\u00eda procede del sistema de pilas de combustible y bater\u00edas. A\u00fan no se han publicado datos concretos sobre el rendimiento.<\/p>\n Seg\u00fan una declaraci\u00f3n del Centro Aeroespacial Alem\u00e1n (DLR), que participa en el proyecto, el sistema de suministro de energ\u00eda se dise\u00f1ar\u00e1 de forma que puedan ampliarse la potencia y la autonom\u00eda: \"El n\u00famero de pilas de combustible y m\u00f3dulos de bater\u00edas influye en la potencia de propulsi\u00f3n, mientras que el n\u00famero de dep\u00f3sitos de hidr\u00f3geno determina la autonom\u00eda en rutas no electrificadas. De este modo, la unidad de propulsi\u00f3n puede utilizarse tanto para el transporte de pasajeros como de mercanc\u00edas\", escribe el DRL.<\/p>\n \"Queremos demostrar que este tipo de tren bimodal es una alternativa competitiva y respetuosa con el medio ambiente al tren di\u00e9sel\", explica el cient\u00edfico y director del proyecto Holger Dittus, del Instituto de Conceptos de Veh\u00edculos del DLR. El proyecto FCH2RAIL comenz\u00f3 en enero, y los participantes ya han definido las primeras rutas de referencia y los escenarios de funcionamiento del prototipo. Con un presupuesto de 14 millones de euros, se pretende desarrollar, demostrar y homologar un sistema de propulsi\u00f3n por hidr\u00f3geno en un plazo de cuatro a\u00f1os.

The Spanish state railway company Renfe is providing the train, Toyota is contributing the fuel cell system modules, and CAF supplies batteries and power converters. Initial tests and trial operation for approval will take place on Spanish and Portuguese lines. The Spanish hydrogen research centre Centro National de Hidrogeno (CNH2) is setting up a hydrogen fuelling station in parallel.<\/p>\n According to DLR, the international project team still has several technological challenges to overcome before the first trial runs begin: “For the design, fuel cell and battery modules must be combined and controlled in such a way that the system meets all requirements and can be implemented cost-effectively at the same time. Besides, it should be possible to use the waste heat from the fuel cell modules in an efficient way to heat and air-condition the train.” Against this background, the manufacturer of the air conditioning system, Faiveley \/ Stemmann Technik (STT) and the DLR, are researching innovative solutions for reducing the energy demand for the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system, he said.<\/p>\n The project also examines existing norms and standards in the fields of hydrogen and railways and is trying to combine the two to ensure a safe dovetailing between hydrogen technology and the contact line system. On this basis, the project team is developing proposals for the competent authorities to facilitate EU-wide approvals for such trains in the future.<\/p>\n Manufacturers and authorities are currently doing a lot in this area. At the beginning of March, the German Federal Ministry of Transport announced that it had further developed its electrification programme for railways<\/a>, which was launched in 2019. It now contains all the measures with which the coalition agreement’s goal to equip 70 per cent of the rail network with overhead lines is to be achieved. Alternative drive systems in vehicles and trains are also to be promoted in this context.<\/p>\n Toyota has delivered the first of six fuel cell modules for a zero-emission train. A corresponding prototype with a bimodal hybrid drive is currently being developed as part of the European FCH2RAIL project, in which Toyota is joined by various international partners from Germany, Belgium, Spain and Portugal.<\/p>\n The bimodal propulsion system combines electrical power from the overhead line with a hydrogen-powered fuel cell and battery system. Toyota is contributing the fuel cell modules, which are already known from the second model generation of the Mirai sedan. According to Toyota, the flat configuration of the stacks allows the fuel cells to be installed on the roof of the train. The Japanese manufacturer does not mention performance data of the train drive in the press release.<\/p>\n CAF has now started the dynamic tests of the demonstration train with a fuel cell battery system on an external track. Previously, the static tests were successfully completed at CAF’s Zaragoza plant, according to CAF. In addition to CAF, the consortium of companies includes DLR, Toyota, Renfe, ADIF, CNH2, IP and Stemmann-Technik.<\/p>\n During the dynamic tests, the “hybridisation of fuel cells and batteries” will now be optimised in the specifications defined as representative in the project, CAF adds. Based on these specifications, commercial operation will be simulated in order to test the new system under as many energy requirements as possible. “As a result of these tests, the competitiveness of the new bi-mode hybrid propulsion solution can be evaluated against the diesel trains currently in use on many routes, within the framework of current plans to decarbonize rail transport,” the company wrote.<\/p>\n With reporting by Cora Werwitzke, France.<\/em><\/p>\n toyota.eu<\/a>, dlr.de<\/a> (in German), toyota.eu<\/a> (update), caf.net<\/a> (update II)<\/p>\n"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/152782","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/22"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=152782"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/152782\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/152754"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=152782"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=152782"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=152782"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Update 24 January 2022<\/h3>\n
