CA 2579174

In one embodiment, a multi-engine locomotive includes at least one converter to convert mechanical energy outputted by the engines to Direct Current (DC) electrical energy, a traction motor, and a DC bus connected to the engines, converter, and traction motor. The engines are configured to provide a power- per-length and/or power density that is greater than the power-per-length and/or power density of a single-engine locomotive having a power rating approximately the same as the cumulative power rating of the engines in the multi-engine locomotive.

Cette invention concerne, dans un mode de réalisation, une locomotive multimoteur comprenant au moins un convertisseur servant à convertir l'énergie mécanique produite par les moteurs en énergie électrique à courant continu (CC), un moteur de traction et un bus CC connecté aux moteurs, au convertisseur et au moteur de traction. Les moteurs sont conçus de façon qu'ils produisent une puissance linéique et/ou une densité de puissance supérieure à la puissance linéique et/ou la densité de puissance d'une locomotive à un seul moteur présentant un puissance nominale environ égale à la puissance nominale cumulée des moteurs équipant la locomotive multimoteur.
