Heat Pumps and Optimized Thermal Management Strategies in Battery-Electric Rail Vehicles—Modeling and Evaluation
Battery-electric rail vehicles are a sustainable alternative for diesel-powered vehicles on tracks without catenary. However, the energy demand to heat and cool the cabin limits the vehicle range, and the applied synthetic refrigerants are environmentally harmful. Therefore, this paper studies how energy demand and loa...
