diiselelektrilised

Dieselelektrilised, also known as diesel-electric locomotives, are a type of railway locomotive that uses a diesel engine to generate electricity, which is then used to power electric motors. This design offers several advantages over traditional diesel-hydraulic locomotives. The diesel engine drives an electric generator, which produces electrical power. This power is then distributed to electric motors that drive the wheels. This setup allows for more efficient power transmission and better control over the locomotive's speed and torque. Additionally, diesel-electric locomotives can be equipped with regenerative braking systems, which can convert kinetic energy back into electrical energy during braking, improving overall energy efficiency. These locomotives are commonly used in various railway applications, including freight and passenger services, due to their reliability and efficiency.
