Rail traction: Relationships
Every element and industry that Rail traction is linked to, and how. Each pair has its own card explaining the relationships between the two.
- Vehicles, ships, rail, aircraft: Rail traction is what rolling-stock builders sell: locomotives and trainsets with their motors, transformers and converters. In India, near-complete electrification of the network has turned locomotive demand almost entirely electric and pulled Siemens and Alstom into large localised factories. (researched)
- Capacitors and supercapacitors: Energy flows from capacitors and supercapacitors to rail traction; their prices have moved together.
- Coal transport: Their prices have moved together.
- Copper: Their prices have moved together.
- Crude oil: Their prices have moved together.
- Electric motors and drives: Energy flows from electric motors and drives to rail traction.
- Electrical loss reduction: Energy flows from rail traction to electrical loss reduction.
- Engine exhaust recovery: Energy flows from rail traction to engine exhaust recovery.
- Flywheels and small mechanical stores: Energy flows from flywheels and small mechanical stores to rail traction.
- Fuel cells: Energy flows from fuel cells to rail traction.
- Generators and alternators: Energy flows from generators and alternators to rail traction.
- Hospitality and tourism: Hospitality and tourism depends on rail traction.
- Internal combustion engines and gensets: Energy flows from internal combustion engines and gensets to rail traction.
- Nickel-based batteries: Energy flows from nickel-based batteries to rail traction.
- Public administration, defence and security: Public administration, defence and security depends on rail traction.
- Railway electrification and wireless power: Energy flows from railway electrification and wireless power to rail traction.
- Regenerative braking and motion recovery: Energy flows from rail traction to regenerative braking and motion recovery.
- Steel: Their prices have moved together.
- Transformers and power electronics: Their prices have moved together.
- Transport and logistics: Transport and logistics depends on rail traction.
