Energy Conservation by way of energy regenerationin 3-phase electric locos by the Loco Pilots of NCR –
NCR is Highest over Indian Railwaysin energy regeneration
Sri Rajiv Chaudhry General Manager, North Central Railway felicitated 09 Loco Pilots of North Central Railway by giving cash award & LED bulbs for their excellent contribution in electrical regeneration in 3 phase locomotives. While complimenting the Loco Pilots, he motivated them to continue their efforts in the area of energy conservation as well as protection of environment.
It is worth mentioning that 3-phase Locomotives have a unique useful facility of converting mechanical energy of the trains into electrical energy during braking which otherwise would have gone wasted. Loco Pilots have been encouraged to maximise use of this facility available in these locomotives.As a result, energy regeneration to the tune of 14.4% of total energy consumed by these locomotives has been achieved over NCR.A record saving of about 1.6 crores units of energy by way of energy regeneration has been achieved during 2018-19 (July to August) over NCR which is Highest over Indian Railways.
Shri Nasim Uddin, Principal Chief Electrical Engineer & Shri Anupam Singhal, Chief Electrical Locomotive Engineer were present on the occasion.
