Japan, 20% of the rail operator, power consumption about the station power consumption has a tendency to increase year by year. To stop this trend, companies have started using photovoltaic power generation system at the station and LED lights, etc.
Among them, JR east Japan to promote “green” station project is a good example. The project is the first demonstration station in Tokyo four valley station. The station in the spring of 2012 to become the first environmental protection station, the station and the adjacent commercial facilities installed on the roof of photovoltaic power generation system, can provide 50 kw power station roof alone.
JR east Japan is moving forward at the station by using energy saving technology and renewable energy, such as “green” station project. Station is the first demonstration station four valley, the introduction of LED lights and solar power generation system, etc.
Four valley station of the platform and the hall lighting using LED lights. Display the name of the signage and conductor with back light also USES the LED monitor. Also installed the skylight daylighting, can turn off the lights during the day, also in down facilities adopted home fuel cells.
Goal is through these measures, to make the four valley station CO2 emissions cut by about 40% for the year of 2008. According to JR east Japan, gradually will increase after environmental station. After four valley standing under an environmental station will be a JR, chiba prefecture beach tent station.
Through the lighting control realize energy saving
The traditional fluorescent lamp and incandescent bulbs to replace LED lights can reduce power consumption, to control the LED according to the circumstance, can further reduce power consumption. Dispatches east iron, for example, the freedom of high standing try to import the leds of panasonic and its control system.
