Title:
ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR HYBRID PROPULSION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2006012089
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A hybrid propulsion system. The system comprises one or more hybrid propulsion traction drives having an electric motor operable to produce mechanical power for propulsion. A hybrid propulsion traction drive is operable to receive power from an on-board power generation system. The electric motor is operable to receive power, from an energy storage unit and operable to supply power to the energy storage unit. The energy storage unit may be coupled to the electric motor via a switch.
