30kW Photovoltaic Container Used at Railway Station

Can BS-HSR energy consumption be covered by a railway PV system?

A2 shows that only the station PV systems in Beijing and Shanghai can cover the energy consumption of the local BS-HSR. However, the railway PV can achieve self-sufficiency in all regions in terms of generation potential, with Jiangsu Province as the leader.

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 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.

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.
