Photovoltaic inverter high-speed rail

Can photovoltaic generation and traction power supply system improve high-speed railway?

Our research bridges the gap between photovoltaic generation and traction power supply system of high-speed railway. Our study shows that: The integration of DPVG and ESS in the TPSS of high-speed railway can be an effective tool to realize the cleaner production of electricity. It make full use of the solar resource along the high-speed railways.

Can photovoltaic power high-speed bullet trains?

Application of the existing infrastructures of railway stations and available land along rail lines for photovoltaic (PV) electricity generation has the potential to power high-speed bullet trains with renewable energy and supply surplus electricity to surrounding users.

How do railway PV systems work?

Optimally, railway PV systems are put into operation gradually, developing from small-scale replacement to larger deployment, their ability to supply power initially to the railway system and gradually to surrounding areas can be achieved.

Can railway PV supply power to the HSR?

The lowest daily PV generation is 1334 MWh, which still covers 60% of the electricity consumption. These results indicate the high potential of the railway PV system to supply power to the HSR and show that the railway system is not highly reliant on the storage system, which undoubtedly cuts the system costs.

How many MWh does a railway PV system generate?

For railway PV systems, the total generation on the day was 12,051 MWh, which is approximately 24 times higher than the consumption. The PV system provided power to the railway system from 5 a.m. to 7 p.m. The railway PV systems were able to cover BS-HSR's electricity demand before 6 p.m.

How many photovoltaic panels are installed along the railways?

More than 100 photovoltaic panels with 30 KW total generation capacity are installed along the railways. Bankset Energy Corporation in Swiss started its project of installing photovoltaic panels in the railways of Saxony, Germany. This project will be completed by the end of 2019.
