Next Generation Local Clean Power Systems

The cost of providing electrical power supplies to remote location trackside equipment cases can be extremely costly and prone to cable theft. Ricardo is developing an independent clean power source solution that eliminates the need for any form of power cabling while providing the uninterruptable power required by safety critical trackside systems.

A new concept in local clean power supply:

• Concept involves the combination of wind, solar, battery and advanced flywheel technologies
• Energy sources and control architecture optimized for different climates
• Smart systems integration and control to bring combined sources of energy together to provide the constant availability and reliability required
• Robust design in order to provide a durable solution for the trackside environment
• Strategic experience in reducing unit cost of production to create a compelling business case
