Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7092038
The primary purpose of the tests documented herein was to demonstrate the principles and feasibility of an energy storage type propulsion system, and its adaptability to an existing car design. The test program comprised four phases of tests on two New York City Transit Authority R-32 cars where propulsion system had been replaced by an energy storage system. The four test phases were: verification of safe arrival, debugging procedures, performance verificiation tests, and expanded test program. This report contains test data collected during the performance verification and expanded test program phases.
