Solar photovoltaic power generation on both sides of the high-speed railway

Should solar PV be introduced into the railway energy supply system?

Solar PV generation is concentrated in the daytime period, matching the railway load, so it is appropriate to introduce solar PV generation into the railway’s energy supply system (IEA,2019). Therefore, a series of railway system transformations are needed to fully exploit this advantage. The railway

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.

How BS-HSR's electricity demand was covered by the railway PV system?

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. The local railway PV generation satisfied 93.4% of the electricity demand in Jiangsu without the assistance of energy storage devices.

Can photovoltaics power China's Railway system?

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.

Can photovoltaic power power a railway?

However, the development of electrified railways is limited in the weak areas of China’s power grid. To surpass these limitations, we turn our attention to new railway energy sources, among which the most suitable is photovoltaic power generation.
