Economic Returns of the “MBILI” Intercropping Compared to Conventional Systems in Western Kenya

Techno-economic Sizing of Auxiliary-Battery-Based Substations in DC Railway Systems

IEEE Transactions on Transportation Electrification, 2018
Auxiliary-battery-based substations (ABSs) can enhance conventional railway feeder systems. In particular, ABSs make dc feeders located in areas far from the ac grid able to power high-performance passenger and freight trains and store their braking ...
