Indian Railways begins trials of solar powered trains

[IND151]

Max. power flow in a solar panel depends on various factors like intensity of sun light, azimuth angle and tilt angle of the sun. As these factors will keep on changing very fast .....it will be very hard to obtain a max. power point or MPP

In order to get max flow of power........the MPP has to be at point 'b' having a const voltage and current.....which is usually achieved in afternoons considering factors like tilt angle, azimuth angle, intensity etc etc constant in a specific time rang and the panel being stationary....in case of trains...all factors will keep on changing hence the overall efficiency of the panel will be very less....less efficiency ->less power generated->more cost

Very good explanation.

Thanks.

This train is anti-poor. Where is the space for aam aadmi to ride on top of the carriages?

Installation of small wind turbines on the roof would probably generate more electricity than solar panels do。And you get 24 hours a day 365 days a year clean energy。

Nope

AaM Admi is above all. They can ride on top of solar pannels as well.

Nope

No this will work against the principles of energy. You will end up losing energy.

That's what I said it won't work

Indian Railway Babus are a different species altogether.
