Chennai Metro Rail Delves Solar Power
Metro is looking for an alternative option of solar power for the run of its five stations on its air corridor. This plan is to get rid of the load on the power grid, said officials of the officials of Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL).
As of now,
we are having a making power of about 200 kilo-watt peak (kWp) only in these
five stations and we ought to launch solar channels on the porch of these
stations, said V. Somasundaram, Chief General Manager for Construction of CMRL.
Facilitating
the solar power is highly efficient, because of their high switching effectiveness,
said Dr. K. Srinivas Reddy, Professor for the Department of Mechanical Engineering
of IIT Madras.
We deem to
thrash solar energy along the rail tracks and also for the purpose of the
regenerative braking system, stated the CMRL officials.
On
attempting the regenerative braking system, the Chennai Metro Rail will be able
to recuperate 30-35 % of the energy back.
During
February, Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has signed the Agreement for its
solar power purchase with a multinational firm for its stations and hence a 500
kWp plant termed Roof Top solar Power Plant have been launched at Dwarka
station.
DMRC holds carbon credits in diminishing the green house gas and for its effort on pollution control.
