Sudhir Garg Executive Director Min. of Railway 15 Sep., 2015 Reducing Energy Consumption on Indian Railways : Key Initiatives and Opportunities
2
Energy conservation activities on IR have led to a saving of about Rs. 2600 crores in last 5 years in Electric Traction
3
It has reduced consumption by > 3.3 % on yr to yr in Electric Traction By about 2% in non traction despite a growth in load by 5%
4
With PAT scheme in force the industry has achieved savings of about 1.3 % per yr from 2012-15. No other organization has matched the performance of Railways Bagged 64 National Energy Conservation Awards in the last 5 years, with 22 “Awards” in 2013, highest by any single org. Appreciate these works in the light of financial crunch and challenges of Governmental systems Development of web based software ‘Rail Saver’ for energy conservation.Rail Saver
5
Actions initiated earlier Introduction of 3 Phase technology in Electric Locos and Electric Multiple Units On date out of about 5000 locos, 800 are three phase based. Further improve the 3 phase technology - Going for IGBT based system from GTO Improving Driving techniques in use of regenerative braking Use of power factor improving techniques. Use of high efficiency transformers Segregating of lighting circuits at platforms Use of energy efficient CFL & T-5 luminaries.
6
What is next for an Org which pays 12000cr as electric bill (Consumes 17 Billion units) and has real Electricity consumption growth of about 7%

Vision of Hon’ble Minister of Railways Power bill can be Reduced substantially using market forces Railways to lead in Reducing Carbon footprints
10
Actions initiated to achieve this Vision 1. Further Improve Power utilization 1.Migrate from DISCOMs to GENCO 3. Go for Renewable Energy
11
Improve Power utilization - Strategy Introduction of latest technology in Traction and non Traction Use of Retrofit systems Arrest leakages Develop manpower skills Closely work with the Industry to develop innovative solutions Develop IT based analysis tools Develop investment management and financing systems Work on Energy policy development
12
Improve Power utilization - What is being done Switching to 100% production of three phase locomotives from next year and Progressively do the same for EMUs Provide Training to loco pilots on Simulator Analysis and monitoring of energy consumption through Rail saver - a web portal Retro-fitment of LED lights in Railway coaches Optimal light control system at various locations
13
Improve Power utilization - What is being done Implementation of SCADA system for major power supply systems Automation of pumping installations Use of LED lighting Procure star rating equipment- 3 star and above Energy auditing of major load centers. Use of timers for high mast lighting and sensors in offices Going for Solar water heating system
14
LED Lights in EMUs
15
LED lights have been provided at stations LED lights at Palanpur station LED lights at Makarpura station
16
Improve Power utilization - Future Plans Switch to 100% three phase EMUs Procure Train Sets Go for High Horse power locos- 9000/ 12000HP Use of LED lighting only Switch to 5 star equipment Use Building management system extensively Go for ECBC Compliant Buildings Have new energy efficient designs for Railway stations using renewal energy
17
Improve Power utilization - Future Plans Automate Train Operation- Optimize train operations - Pass trains can save up to 10% whereas the Freight trains up to 30 % Install Smart sense & smart Grid system Switch to 100% Automatic light & fan control Opt for SCADA system for major installations Use of super efficient ceiling fans Go for 2*25 KV system
18
INITIATIVES TO REDUCE ELECTRIC TRACTION BILL Power trading: Pilot project to procure electricity through Exchange initiated in Haryana Ground work for trading done in many other Railways CR,WR, NR, SER, WCR etc. Power through short term PPAs: 50 MW power of NTPC in NCR replaced through bilateral PPA - saving about Rs. 140 Cr. in a yr.
19
MEASURE TO REDUCE ELECTRIC TRACTION BILL MEDIUM TERM Procurement of power through bi-lateral arrangement- PPA for 100 MW power signed with GUVNL 500 MW allocated from RGPPL Procurement through Tenders: commercial bids for 50 MW power from market opened Technical bids for about 1000 MW called
20
MEASURE TO REDUCE ELECTRIC TRACTION BILL LONG TERM - Dedicated Transmission lines with captive power plants: Work on Transmission corridors – Kanpur - Allahabad –Mughalsarai in progress Work for Transmission line from Sahibabad to Diwana is under progress Blue print for a 5000 Km transmission network in progress
21
Renewable Energy- Use Solar/Wind Power Potentials AIMs: To reduced the cost of Power for Railways Climate proofing of energy infrastructure Use Railway rooftop and land spaces Explore new potential areas- Railway land parallel to Tracks
22
Harnessing of renewable energy 10.5 MW wind plant installed in 2009 for ICF Tender in progress for 10.5 MW wind plant SR 25 Mw Wind plant will be ready in Oct 2015. Tenders for 137 MW more will be issued soon 10.085 MWp solar plants installed : With 1 MWp on roof of Katra railway station Work on 6.5 MW solar units in progress Will float tenders for 50 MW Solar units on Roof Top soon
23
One MW Solar Plant at Katra Largest rooftop plant in the IR About 3500 PV panels Power fed through local grid to all railway installation Largest rooftop plant in the IR About 3500 PV panels Power fed through local grid to all railway installation
24
Harnessing of renewable energy – Solar – Future Plans Target to put up 1000 MW Solar plants up to 2019. 200 MW through VGF from MNRE under PSU scheme 250 MW by REMC through open bidding 450 MW more on roof top and vacant Railway land
25
Harnessing renewable energy - New Areas- Harnessing renewable energy Solar Panels on the roof top of a coach Using railway land parallel to tracks
26
Future Power need Scenario- 2032 By 2032 – With over 80% electrification, 7000 RKm DFC network, some new high speed (350 Kmph) corridors, Numberof tracks at 160 to 200 Kmph & Loading of > 4 billion MT (as per National Transport Development Policy Committee) Power requirement to go from 4000 MW to 15000 MW.
27
Future Scenario- 2032 For sustainable growth Power to be available at a competitive cost Ensuring reliability - Railways to have its transmission network of 10000 km & Captive power plant for about 5000 MW- Renewable generation of 3000- 5000 MW With a judicious mix of renewable and thermal power.
28
Renewals- Opportunities / Challenges ahead Assess potential sites Developing technically feasible model as per Types of roofs, Land Patches- variable in Sizes Address connectivity issues at 25 KV Develop single phase inverters issue Develop Railway specific designs- vibrations, security Handle financing issues
29
Renewals- Opportunities / Challenges ahead Speedily implementation Innovative solutions for Railway environment Tackle issues of Obsolescence Club initiative / innovation in the Governmental environment Remain competitive Make available easy financing Bring a cultural shift
30
Key opportunities Provide innovative solutions for energy saving Develop energy consciousness in Staff - Training for all Leverage information technology to bring cultural shift Leverage technology to empower the customer Introduce life cycle based costing
31
We will have to think Differently
