Description
Ioxus has fitted its ultracapacitors to the railway wayside
traction power on the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR). The
ultracapacitors provide voltage support to assist the traction
power system, capturing and storing the energy produced
by the train, using it to facilitate better acceleration and
allowing for greater energy efficiency and reduced energy
consumption.
Ultracapacitors charge and discharge quickly, making them
ideal for voltage support needs and recovering energy that
would otherwise be lost in light rail transportation. Ioxus
ultracapacitors were selected for use on the LIRR by
Electrical Power worX Corp (EPX), a company specializing
in the engineering and development of energy storage
systems.
EPX selected Ioxus to supply ultracapacitors to the LIRR
following consultation with the New York State Energy
Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA).
NYSERDA made its decision following successful
demonstrations that detailed how Ioxus’ ultracapacitors
would help the LIRR reduce energy consumption by up to
30 percent and improve railway operations.
