The City of Calgary is seeking an engineering consultancy to conduct a feasibility study on implementing regenerative braking in its existing Light Rail Transit (LRT) system. The study will assess whether the existing infrastructure, including the overhead catenary system (OCS), substations, and power distribution network, can support regenerative braking and identify required upgrades. It will also evaluate energy storage options, analyse potential energy savings, estimate infrastructure investment needs, and project return on investment across various operating scenarios.
