Integrating photovoltaic (PV) system offers a promising solution to mitigate energy demand within the metro system, promoting cleaner electricity and contributing to a low-carbon future. However, due to discrepancies between PV power generation and energy demand profiles, on-site PV utilization remains suboptimal.
This study demonstrates that solar power integration in metro rail systems is feasible to enhance urban sustainability. Solar-powered metro rail systems provide a sustainable alternative to conventional grid-powered transit by decreasing dependence on fossil fuels, lowering carbon footprints, and reducing environmental impacts.
Fig 17. Sensitivity analysis. According to the analysis, monocrystalline panels and lithium-ion batteries are the most effective technologies for harnessing solar power and storage in metro rail systems. Hybrid grid install approaches are optimized for energy independence versus cost, achieving a 90% reduction in grid reliance.
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.
