Hedgehog to capture regenerative braking energy to power buses
Later this year Dutch company Hedgehog Applications is to undertake a pilot project in Apeldoorn which will use a large battery to store energy regenerated by braking electric trains and use it to recharge electric buses and cars.
The project with four electric buses is to be undertaken in partnership with ProRail and local authorities. Hedgehog envisages that the stored energy could also be used to prove emergency power for railway signalling and control systems in the event of a power cut similar to one which hit Amsterdam’s transport network in January.
While regenerative braking is in widespread use, energy is wasted when there is no accelerating train nearby to accept energy from a slowing train. Onboard energy storage can be used instead, but Hedgehog plans to use batteries at the stations as they offer a much higher capacity than compact on-board systems.

Het Apeldoornse bedrif Hedgehog Applications gaat later dit jaar een opstelling maken waarmee elektrische bussen opgeladen kunnen worden met de remenergie.
Ik koon zo gauw geen Nederlands artikel vinden hierover, maar op de site van Hedgehog wordt meer (Nederlandstalige) uitleg hierover gegeven.
