Prasagraj: Because of the excellent maintenance and monitoring solar power generation operations that are very close and many innovative steps taken under the sun’s mission, 2021-22, solar factory productivity in the North Railway line register the trajectory up.
While NCR produced 81 lakhs energy units using solar power during April-December, 2020-21, this year 94 lakhs energy units have been produced using solar power in the same period, a 16% increase last year.
NCR has achieved net income savings from 3.82 crores using solar power during April-December, 2021.
According to the main head of NCR electrical engineers, Satish Kothari, most importantly are given to the maintenance of solar plants.
NCR has a total installed capacity of 11.03 MWP.
While 120 KWP has been installed by the train, the remaining 10882.34 KWP KWP has been installed by two major solar power developers, (SPD) Azure and updating, based on PPP.
Among the main places where the roof solar plant has been installed is a building station, workshop, training school, in addition to the GM office and DRM office building.
“About 8,000 tones of carbon footprint reduction have been achieved by NCR using solar power during April-December 2021,” Kothari said.
The important parameter of the performance of solar factory is the capacity utilization factor (CUV).
The NCR solar panel has shown a CUF of 12.9% during the same period, which is considered a considerable performance, he added.
GM NCR Pramod Kumar has called for adopting a approach that focuses on adding solar energy share in total non-traction electrical consumption.
Speaking of the performance of the railway solar plant during April-December, 2021-22, officials informed that in Prayagraj, the total installed capacity was 1771KWP, where the solar panel was installed in Junction Prayagraj, Mela Warehouse, GM office, DRM office and Central Hospital .
The solar energy produced is 1567893 KWH (1460979 KWh produced in April-December 2020) and in terms of income is stored, namely Rs 50.94.162, which also means a reduction of 1317 tons of carbon traces.
