Narrative
The specific goal of the project is the development of a new, innovative product - a set of electrical equipment for an electric train with significantly improved characteristics - by optimizing the network filter unit, creating an innovative network reactor, and adjusting the operation of the pulse width modulation regulator of the traction electric motor in accordance with the standard for limiting network emissions. At the same time, the competences of RER's scientific team in the field of electric train electrical equipment development will be expanded.
Financial data
Total: 877 482.43 €. EU: 456 454.20 € (52,0%).
Recommendations
Latvian companies in the transport industry have the opportunity to compete internationally with niche products. The type of development, such as that in this project, would encourage interest in the purchase of new electric trains from stakeholders who operate trains, both locally and globally. Higher efficiency means lower running costs and more efficient use of resources, which contributes to the overall progress toward climate neutrality goals. Latvia should recommend and monitor the minimum efficiency of the trains used, thus ensuring that all trains in circulation are energy efficient.
