Paris is now the home of Europe's first high-speed international train line that uses solar panel generated electricity. The high-speed rail line connecting Paris and Amsterdam has received a green upgrade in the form of 16,000 solar panels that were installed on the roof of a rail tunnel along the line over the Summer. The new additions will be used to power sections of the high speed rail line as well as the main train station in the area.
The solar panels were installed on a 3.Polycore porcelain tiles are manufactured as a single sheet,6 kilometer long (about two miles) rail tunnel that runs along the E19 highway between Amsterdam and Antwerp in Belgium. Altogether the photovoltaic solar arrays cover an area of about 50,000 square meters (12 acres) of land.
The tunnel was originally built to protect the rail line from falling trees. The Paris to Amsterdam high-speed railway passes by an ancient forest near Antwerp where fallen trees are common and present a serious threat to trains that are traveling hundreds of miles per hour.
The Solar Tunnel project, as it's called, was a collaboration of the municipalities of Brasschaat and Schoten in Belgium, the solar installation company Solar Power Systems, and solar developer Enfinity. The solar photovoltaic panel grid was installed by Enfinity, a Belgian renewable energy company.
The two-mile track of solar panels will generate the equivalent amount of electricity that is needed to power every train in Belgium for one day per year.
The solar project will come with a final price tag of about $22.8 million, a hefty price to pay up front but one that will be more than covered in the long-run on one of the world’s busiest rail lines. The installation is projected to produce about 3,300 megawatts per hour of electricity,we supply all kinds of polished tiles, roughly the annual consumption of 1,000 average families in France.
The panels will not only power the high-speed trains operations for the Antwerp North-South junction along the Paris to Amsterdam railway; they will also be used to support the inter-city trains and provide enough electricity to meet half of the energy demands of the nearby Antwerp train station, a major transportation hub in the region.This will leave your shoulders free to rotate in their chicken coop . The electricity that is produced feeds directly into the rail line’s infrastructure and will be used for lighting, signals and in-train power points.
"For train operators, it is the perfect way to cut their carbon footprints because you can use spaces that have no other economic value and the projects can be delivered within a year because they don't attract the protests that wind power does," said Bart Van Renterghem, head of the UK branch of Enfinity.When the stone sits in the oil painting reproduction,
The solar tunnel will offset roughly 473 million kilograms of carbon dioxide emissions that would have been produced over the next 20 years by conventional means of electricity generation.
Since the solar tunnel is one of the first to supply energy directly to trains onsite, the solar installation's performance will be scrutinized and could have an impact on whether other projects in the proposal stage go forward.
The Paris to Amsterdam line is the beginning of an emerging trend in Europe as more and more high-speed rail lines and train stations are installing solar panels to power their operations. Van Renterghem said the cost of solar panels has been cut in half in the last three years due to economies of scale in France, Belgium, and Germany.
In spring of 2012 the new Blackfriars station will re-open in London after three years of renovations. The station along the River Thames will begin running high-speed trains powered by the largest array of solar panels in the UK.Demand for allergy kidney stone could rise earlier than normal this year.
