AI Technical Summary
Existing rail-based vehicles with battery power face challenges in electromagnetic interference and complexity in configuring and maintaining bogies due to the positioning of inverters and cooling systems, which are typically external to the bogie, leading to increased downtime and reduced modularity.
Positioning the inverter and cooling system directly on the bogie, with separate inverters for each motor and a centralized cooling system, reduces cable length and electromagnetic interference, facilitating independent configuration and easy maintenance, and enabling a modular design.
This approach enhances the modularity and ease of maintenance of rail-based vehicles by minimizing electromagnetic interference and reducing the need for external connections, thereby improving installation, replacement, and operational efficiency.
