Collaboration expected to advance carbon
neutrality in the global railway industry
Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo) and Musashi
Energy Solutions Co., Ltd. (Hokuto City, Yamanashi Prefecture), a
subsidiary of Musashi Seimitsu Industry Co., Ltd. (Toyohashi City,
Aichi Prefecture), announced today their signing of a partnership
and co-development agreement on May 14 for Innovative Energy
Storage Devices to be incorporated into Innovative Energy Storage
Modules, and Battery Management Systems (BMSs) that monitor and
control battery usage for railway operators and rolling stock
manufacturers.
Under the joint-development agreement, Mitsubishi Electric’s
advanced technologies will be leveraged in Innovative Energy
Storage Modules to upgrade Musashi Energy Solutions’ Innovative
Energy Storage Devices with functions for vibration resistance,
insulation and waterproofing to be utilized in railcars and any
other vehicles. The devices are expected to achieve the long
service life and high safety levels of Hybrid Supercapacitors
(HSCs), as well as high output density not possible with
conventional lithium-ion batteries and high-capacity density not
possible with conventional HSCs. In addition, the modules are
expected to provide optimal output density and capacity density to
absorb high regenerative power generated during railcar braking and
output running power.
The Innovative Energy Storage Module will enable power storage
for hydrogen fuel cell hybrid trains, diesel hybrid trains,
overhead catenary-less trains, substation peak shaving, brake
resistor replacement, etc., as well as various railway solutions,
both onboard and above ground, to support carbon neutrality.
