The aim of the project is to guarantee a reliable, sustainable source of electric energy for devices and buildings located along the railway lines.The use of electricity from the traction rail grid, renewable sources and energy storages will make it possible to resign from the expensive supply of a second power line and the maintenance of high-power diesel generators. Predictive control algorithms will enable the selection of the most optimal source for the environment, thus guaranteeing the quality, safety and reliability of energy supplies.
