Funding entity Patentes Talgo S.L.U
Eleven institutions are collaborating in this project, led by Patentes Talgo, to advance in the transition towards clean mobility based on green hydrogen. The project integrates the entire value chain in the generation of green hydrogen and its use in the railroad, also analyzing the impact that this transition has on the different assets of the railway infrastructure, such as the track or maintenance facilities.
Within the consortium, the Railway Systems Area of IIT collaborates in the development of a prototype train powered by fuel cells and batteries. In particular, IIT is responsible for the development of the digital twin that simulates in detail the behavior of the hydrogen train, as well as the model that optimizes the driving of the train by combining the use of different energy sources (hydrogen cell, battery, catenary and regenerative braking). It also collaborates in real driving tests and energy efficiency analysis.
