What is BS EN 62864-1 -Series hybrid system for power supply about?
BS EN 62864 discusses power supply with an onboard energy storage system for rolling stock in railways. BS EN 62864-1 provides the best industry guidance on the series hybrid system to ensure an energy-efficient transportation system.
BS EN 62864-1 is the first part of a multi-part series that applies to series hybrid systems (electrically connected) with onboard energy storage (hereinafter referred to as hybrid system).
BS EN 62864-1 covers electrically connected systems (series hybrid), and not systems that mechanically transmit the driving force (parallel hybrid).
Note: Converter in BS EN 62864-1 means combined equipment consisting of one or more converters (e.g., rectifier, inverter, chopper, etc.).
Who is BS EN 62864-1 - Series hybrid system for power supply for?
BS EN 62864-1 on a series hybrid system for power supply is useful for:
- Hybrid power supply systems manufacturers
- Electrical Engineers
- Any entity responsible for the safety of electrical equipment
- Regulatory authorities
Why should you use BS EN 62864-1 - Series hybrid system for power supply?
There is an increasing need for efficient use of energy due to the decrease in fossil fuel-based energy sources as well as the need to reduce emissions (e.g., CO2, NOx, PM, etc.) that contribute to global climate change.
BS EN 62864-1 provide a guideline that assists you with power source configuration of hybrid systems, the performance of the series hybrid systems, environmental conditions, functional requirements, system requirements, disconnecting requirement, safety requirements, and lifetime requirements for power supply with an onboard energy storage system for railways.
BS EN 62864-1 also provides combined tests, and vehicle tests for power supply with an onboard energy storage system for railways.
With compliance and obedience to BS EN 62864-1, you can make transportation systems energy-efficient to enhance their efficacy and can efficiently assess the series hybrid system. In addition, it assists in ensuring the health and safety of mankind.
