Implementation of hybrid drives in rail vehicles is a solution aimed at limiingt the negative environmental impact of transport. The use of fuel cell systems is a contemporary trend in the development of locomotives. The paper presents an energy flow analysis in a hybrid locomotive powered using fuel cells. The parallel hybrid drive system consisted of fuel cells, batteries and an electric motor. The simulations and analyzes were performed with the use of AVL Cruise M software. A simulated route, with a length of approximately 300 km, was used as basis for the analasys, taking into account a typical speed profile of a locomotive in passenger traffic. The energy flow and consumption values were estimated, and mean hydrogen consumption values were determined.

Summary The thermal safety of power lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) has seriously affected the booming development of electric vehicles (EVs). Especially, owing to the requirement of high energy density, thermal runaway (TR) easily occurs in LIBs, resulting in a higher heat generation rate. Over‐discharging is recognized as a common cause for TR. In the present research, the correlations between the structure and thermal‐electrochemical properties of an over‐discharged ternary/Si‐C battery at room and high temperatures were investigated. The heat generation mechanisms of the batteries due to the maximum surface temperature and peak temperature difference variations during fast charging and discharging processes were investigated. Moreover, the electrochemical performances parameters of the batteries, such as voltage changing trend, discharge time, discharge capacity, internal resistance, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) spectra, were analyzed. When the battery was discharged at 2.0C and 55°C, its maximum temperature and highest temperature difference reached 91.34°C and 13.24°C, respectively, finally resulting in a sharp decline in electrochemical performance. Furthermore, the root reasons for performance degradation and heat generation intensification of the over‐discharged battery were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy and X‐ray diffraction. The cause of the aforementioned phenomenon is due to irreversible damage to the electrode materials. This research not only reveals the relevant relationship between the thermal behavior and the microscopic structure of the over‐discharged ternary/Si‐C battery under various temperature conditions but also provides valuable insights for improving the safety of LIBs modules even packs.
