Has Solar Power taken off to drive transport sector in future?
Last updated on March 25th, 2019 at 05:27 am Most of the modules for tapping using solar power available in the market have been developed for a wide range of applications in Industry, residential and office complex. These modules may not immediately suit the Railways need for a few specific applications. It is, therefore, necessary […]
Introspection of the Energy Conservation Success of Indian Railways as stated in Vision 2020 document
Last updated on February 25th, 2014 at 02:18 am Energy conservation finds a mention in the vision statement of Indian Railways. Was it a show case to impress someone those matters? Is Indian Railways honestly used the buzz word ‘Energy Conservation’ and implemented it in its grass root policies? There is no scope to question […]
Energy Conservation – Renewable sources of Energy
Last updated on May 23rd, 2017 at 10:58 am Most of the modules for tapping using solar power available in the market are from the demand of Industry, residential and office complex. These modules may not immediately suit the Railways requirement. It is therefore necessary to identify the economic usage of the solar energy specific […]
Energy Conservation – Train Lighting and Air Conditioning
Last updated on March 2nd, 2018 at 03:20 am Power supply for Train Lighting and air conditioning is provided either by Self generation or End on Generation system. Estimation of energy consumption for Train Lighting and Air Conditioning SG Coaches Holding of Self Generation Coaches: AC=8000; Non-AC=38000 Installed Capacity of power Generation = No. of […]
Energy Conservation -Traction
Last updated on April 5th, 2015 at 06:13 am Traction Energy- Scenario Indian Railways consumed 14.2 B-unit electrical energy and 2.6 B-liters of diesel oil for electrical and diesel Traction respectively during 2011-12. Responsibility for energy conservation in electrical energy lies with the electric department whereas for diesel oil with the Mechanical Department of […]
Energy Conservation Non-Traction
Last updated on May 23rd, 2017 at 11:06 am Usage of Energy in Indian Railways is basically under two heads namely Traction and Non-traction and measured separately. Traction Energy is consumed towards hauling of trains whereas Non-traction energy is towards offices, railway station, yards, residential, water supply, air conditioning, workshops, maintenance depots etc. The energy […]
Energy Conservation
Last updated on November 21st, 2014 at 10:40 am Energy Conservation is defined as “To limit and ensure efficient use of energy sources and economic harness of an abundant source of naturally existing renewable sources of energy” Thus there are three areas of research, development and action for Energy Conservation Human behavior for cutting need and reducing […]
