and the District of Columbia
(in 2015 vs. 2003 base)
Battery & Energy Storage
Technology Consortium
(NY BEST January 2009)

Transportation R&D
 focused on product development
with cost shared agreements,
royalties and an emphasis on NYS
businesses and job creation
 recent expansion of focus to include
services and “Underutilized,
Commercial Technology” demos
 long standing, collaborative
relationships with NYSDOT, NYSTA,
MTA, and numerous regional
operators

Propulsion Gearbox for R160 Railcars
Alstom Transportation, Hornell, NY
 Successful Cost-Shared Product
Development, Test, & Demonstration
 Helped Alstom win a $2.3B contract
for up to 1,600 new railcars – split
with Kawasaki
 NYS manufactured gearbox
 Largest order of its type in the free
world
23
Rail Switch & 3rd Rail Heater Controls
Railcomm, Inc., Fairport, NY
 Successfully developed and
demonstrated 20 units at NYCT
 Allows snow/ice melting on an asneeded basis – typically 17 days
versus current 166 days annually
 Estimated 120,000 MWh annual
savings, if widely deployed at MTA
 This type of system is now being
deployed at NYCT with NYPA funding
24
3rd Rail Insulator Cleaning Device
Mini, LLC, Bethesda, MD
 Dirty insulators are leakage paths
for stray electrical current to ground
resulting in loss of electrical energy
 Also exacerbating infrastructure
corrosion due to stray currents
 Estimated 22,000 MWh annual
savings, if widely deployed at MTA
 Study completed, building on TRB
work, and proceeding toward a
NYCT Demonstration
25
Short Line Railroads APU Demonstration
26
Energy Storage for Regenerative Braking
Trackside Flywheel Energy Storage Demo at LIRR
 2.5 MW Trackside storage; Co-funded by NYPA
 Pentadyne flywheel modules
 2010 Demonstration at the Malverne Station
Trackside Ultra Capacitor Energy Storage - Prototype
 1 MW Prototype design, fabrication & factory test
 Electrical Power worX Inc. – a small, growing NYS firm
 Additional award to study ultracaps for on-car storage
Trackside Battery Energy Storage Demo at NYCT
 Kawasaki Railcar Co.
 3 MW NiMH GigaCell Battery
 2010 Demonstration at Rockaway Station
27
High Conductivity Aluminum 3rd Rail
Oak Ridge National Labs, Oak Ridge, TN
 NYSERDA-facilitated study by DOE ORNL,
with MTA, NYCT, LIRR, MNR
 1- 3% electrical energy savings potential
for transmitting propulsion power
 Additional life cycle savings potential due
to manufacturing and recycling benefits of
aluminium (est. 50% savings over steel rail)
 Additional benefits: providing voltage
support and avoidance of new substation
requirements
