| Abstract | The concept of a hybrid braking energy recoupment system was defined for coaches of diesel-hauled regional commuter trains. Functional specifications were developed having the goal of increasing by 25 percent the acceleration rate of a commuter train consisting of 10 bi-level coaches hauled by a 3,000 hp diesel locomotive, typical of the rolling stock now in service in Canada and the U.S.A. Because increasing train acceleration was the primary aim, the concept was named the Hybrid Augmented Traction System (HATS). Analyses of HATS simulations showed that in addition to augmenting acceleration and reducing trip time, braking energy recoupment reduced fuel consumption and corresponding diesel emissions. Examined were three alternate hybrid systems for train retardation by recoupment of braking energy, its storage and then regeneration based, respectively, on Hydrostatic, Battery and Ultracapacitor energy storage. The Ultracapacitor Hybrid system appeared the most promising due to the capability of ultracapacitors to repeatedly and rapidly accept large charges, be temperature insensitive and flexible in the placement of modules in the limited space available. The study foresees that HATS technology development could be expedited via the procurement process if railway operators specified braking energy recoupment requirements in calls-for-proposals for new capital equipment. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
