The relatively frequent change in the operating mode of a shunting diesel locomotive determines efficiency and feasibility of equipping it with an energy storage device. In addition to smoothing the load on the power plant, the energy storage device will allow to regenerate energy during braking, thereby increasing energy efficiency of a shunting diesel locomotive. This topic is frequently discussed in World of Transport and Transportation Journal, that is the evidence of its timeliness. The theoretical background for developing an inertial capacitive energy storage device, which is technically designed as a DC machine with a super flywheel that makes it possible to smooth the load on the power plant, thereby reducing its power and mass and dimensions, is presented. The increase in mass thanks to the energy storage device can be compensated by a decrease in the mass of the engine. As the diesel locomotive is equipped with electromechanical transmission, then it minimizes the framework of development for it of a considered inertial capacitive drive, making it even more advantageous. The article provides initial calculations and circuits.
