General Description
The ACR project developed by CAF in conjunction with Trainelec (a CAF group company), is an on-board energy storage system based on the use of ultracapacitors which enables trams to run between stops without catenaries, as well as to save energy through the full regeneration of braking energy.
This system is compatible with other technologies and suitable for use on rolling stock of any type and manufacturer, and on new or existing facilities and infrastructure.
- Efficient and energy saving in catenary powered operation
- Energy saving and reduction of current peaks in catenary powered operation.
- Maximum energy regeneration from braking processes.
- Safe running range in emergency situations in the event of sudden power failures.
-
Catenary-free Operation.
- Temporary (1 section between stations due to power line failure).
- Permanent (several consecutive sections between stations).
- Up to 1000 metres of catenary-free running range, depending on route characteristics, required performance and installed capacity.
