Diesel-Electric Locomotive Energy Recovery and Conversion

项目名称：	Diesel-Electric Locomotive Energy Recovery and Conversion
摘要：	This project will develop thermodynamic and economic computer models to assess technical and economic performance of a waste heat energy recovery and conversion technology as a retrofitting technology for commuter rail locomotive applications. Computer modeling will be supported by baseline testing data that will be obtained from a locomotive operated at the Transportation Technology Center Incorporated (TTCI), in Pueblo, Colorado. Computer model validation and optimization will also be supported by data obtained by testing a simulated locomotive exhaust gas manifold simulator, and a small-scale diesel-electric locomotive analogue. The simulated exhaust gas manifold will utilize exhaust gases by operating a modified oil-burner. The small-scale diesel-electric simulator will be coupled to a resistive load banks to simulate different locomotive notch settings and commuter rail locomotive duty cycle. The project investigators will work with TTCI technical staff, to install sensors and operate a locomotive at TTCI to obtain locomotive baseline data.
