In order to study the feasibility of installing PV systems in railway stations, this paper analyzes the PV potential and techno-economic characteristics of China's high-grade railroad stations by combining a three-dimensional digital earth system (LSV) and PV plant calculation methods.
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.
According to the installed photovoltaic area, the installed capacity and annual power generation of photovoltaics deployed in major railway stations are obtained. The energy consumption of each railway station is obtained according to the building area of the station building.
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.
In Libya, for example, by integrating photovoltaic cells at stations, up to 100% of the electricity demand at railway stations can be covered, and the surplus will support the public electricity grid.
