APPLICATION
Rail facility self-consumption
Project Overview
ADIF, Spain’s railway infrastructure administrator, wanted to raise efficiency across its facilities and balance its internal network for direct self-consumption, without batteries.
A Ryse Energy study showed that combining small wind and solar would give the best generation over each 24-hour period. Both sources connect to the three-phase grid, with a solar inverter and a wind turbine on each phase.
The installation comprises 3 E-5 wind turbines, 36 solar panels of 230 W, 3 solar inverters, 3 plain tubular towers of 12 m, a 3-phase connection to the internal network and a generator set support.
Products in this project: E-5 5 kW wind turbine and hybrid wind and solar systems.
Frequently asked questions
Why does the system need no batteries?
ADIF wanted direct self-consumption. A wind turbine and a solar inverter sit on each phase of the three-phase grid, so the energy is used on site as it is generated.
Why combine wind and solar at a rail facility?
A Ryse study showed that the combination gives the best generation across each 24-hour period.
Can a hybrid system connect to an existing grid?
Yes. At ADIF, wind and solar connect to each phase of the three-phase grid for direct self-consumption.
How can Ryse help with a similar critical site?
Ryse designs, supplies and installs hybrid systems for radar, rail, emergency and other critical loads, and provides maintenance and monitoring. See critical infrastructure power or talk to our team.
