4 FAQs about Investment in 120kw photovoltaic cabinetized subway station

Can a photovoltaic system reduce energy demand within the metro system?

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.

How does a PV system affect the performance of a station?

The PV system can effectively improve the cleaning ratio of the station energy consumption and reduce the carbon emission of the station operation. However, the system configuration has a remarkable influence on the performance of the system.

Can rooftop photovoltaic systems be used in rail transit?

Due to their ease of installation and the lack of need for additional installation areas, rooftop photovoltaic (PV) systems are particularly well-suited for urban districts where available open areas beyond building exteriors are scarce. Many scholars have studied the application of PV systems in the rail transit sector.

Is there a mismatch between PV supply and station energy demand?

There is a significant mismatch between PV supply and station energy demand. The station energy load is continuous and is significantly affected by ridership during operation. However, PV power generation has the characteristics of intermittent and uncontrollable, which are significantly affected by solar radiation.
