Potentials, peculiarities and prospects of solar power generation on the railway premises

In this paper, the potentials, peculiarities and prospects of solar power generation system to the platform roofs of the railway station will be discussed. Based on the rough estimation, the total potential of our company for platform roof PV system is amount to be more than 100MW. While the railway premises have such a high potential for solar power introduction, they have also difficulties compared to the other mega-solar systems utilizing the vast extent of land and utility power grid. As future prospects, the realization of solar generation system with lithium ion batteries for local station called “zero-emission station” will be also shown in this paper.
