Abb trolley energy storage motor voltage

What traction voltages does ABB offer?

ABB’s modular energy recuperation and wayside storage systems are available for standardized traction voltages of 750VDC and 1500VDC and can be used in existing and new urban transport systems as well as suburban and mainline railways.

What does ABB do?

ABB is an industry leader in developing higher-voltage components to meet the needs of energy storage applications. We offer an extensive range of equipment with voltage levels up to 1500 VDC that are fully integrated with measuring and monitoring systems.

Why should you choose ABB switchgear?

Dependability and safety. ABB’s DC switchgear design comprises all the necessary features to ensure personnel safety: arc voltage management; trolley mounted breaker with Open, Test and Closed positions; control, power and trolley in segregated compartments.

How do ABB traction substations save energy?

ABB’s DC traction substations with energy storage capabilities allow energy to be recovered from braking trains that would otherwise be dissipated as heat through braking resistors. Storing this energy on the wayside is one way to prevent this energy waste.

What types of traction substations does ABB offer?

ABB is also an experienced partner for DC traction substations for all types of applications including urban transport systems, suburban and mainline railways, covering the standard traction voltages of 750 and 1500VDC.

Why do OEMs need a battery energy storage system?

Including these latest advancements as part of a system design will help the OEM provide greater efficiency and cost savings for their customer. The evolution of battery energy storage systems (BESS) is now pushing higher DC voltages in utility scale applications.
