Summary
In this paper the concept for a next-generation high speed trainset will be presented with special focus on the drive and power supply concept. The NGT Link train concept is being developed within the "next generation train" (NGT) project at the German Aerospace Center. The NGT Link is designed as a feeder train and should be able to be used on partly electrified lines. Accordingly the propulsion and power supply concept has to cope with these special requirements and has to ensure a safe and reliable operation with a non-continuous energy supply.
