Installing solar photovoltaic (PV) systems on train rooftops can reduce energy costs and emissions and develop a more sustainable and ecological rail transport system.
This research focuses on the Milan Cadorna-Saronno railway line, examining the feasibility of installing PV panels onto train rooftops to generate power for the train's internal consumption, including lighting and air conditioning. In addition, it is a solution to reduce the power absorbed by the train from the main supply.
The rooftop PV systems in India are used to power only the lights on board the trains to keep costs down. Converting railways to run on PV power also presents a challenge because of the large volumes of electricity they consume.
This strategy effectively harnesses the ample sunshine exposure present on metro rail lines, maximizing the natural solar capacity of these rails. The primary findings demonstrate the effective execution of this idea across many international sites through subterranean train systems driven by solar energy.
