ANALYSIS AND APPLICATIONS OF SOLAR AND FLYWHEEL ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM IN INDIAN RAILWAY

Pankil B Shah

Abstract :

 The application of unique world leading high–speed flywheel energy storage & Solar Energy Storage to real–time power management and voltage support for the traction industry. Awareness for the need of sustainable and ecofriendly mobility has been increasing and various innovations are taking place in this regard. A study was carried out to assess the feasibility of installing solar photovoltaic (PV) modules atop train coaches. Feasibility of supplementing diesel generator sets with power from solar PV modules installed on coach rooftops has been reported in this communication. It is now the most advanced commercially available Flywheel energy storage system. Its unique features, zero maintenance, 20 year life and high cyclic capability make it ideally suited to applications in rail power supplies. The flywheel & solar system can resolve many of the problems encountered in traction supplies due to the ‘peaky’ nature of the loads caused by trains accelerating and aking. In addition, the flywheel & solar system can provide energy savings by improving the system’s receptivity to energy from trains with regenerative aking
