Utilization of Solar, Wind & Sound Energy (Renewable Resources) in Self -Powered Eco-friendly Hybrid Locomotive Train with Regenerative Braking System

In railways, presently most of the locomotive (diesel and electric) trains are being supplied for traction purpose by conventional energy resources i.e. petroleum (diesel) and coal, which are limited in amount and increases carbon emission and air-pollution. Even in electrified railway tracks lines are being fed by thermal power plant where coal is used as a fuel to generate electricity. The main purpose of this paper is to introduce the innovative implication of renewable resources in railways for traction purpose and design a train which runs on self-generated electric power. This power required for traction and electrification of Eco-friendly Hybrid Locomotive Train is being supplied by solar energy, wind energy and sound energy and in absence of solar light it can also be able to run by electrified lines which uses here as only a standby medium of power source. The aim of the paper is to amalgam the renewable energy resources and presents a model of the innovative train concept with regenerative braking system.
