Railway station in Ekaterinburg implements air temperature monitoring and control system
In a bid to conserve energy and reduce resource expenditure, the Sverdlovsk Railway has implemented a series of measures aimed at minimising its carbon footprint. One of the most significant initiatives is the installation of a modern air temperature analysis and regulation system at the railway station in Yekaterinburg.
This system, designed to maintain comfortable temperatures in buildings according to their purpose and changes in outdoor weather, is expected to save a staggering 957 Gcal of heat by 2025. That's equivalent to the energy from burning 477 tons of coal.
The system works by using special sensors to read the building's internal temperature, which is then compared with set norms and transmitted to a network dispatcher. The network dispatcher, in turn, remotely adjusts the heat supply based on the data, aiming to avoid unnecessary resource expenditure on heating.
The algorithm installed in the system is designed to help conserve energy and reduce resource expenditure. It maintains comfortable temperatures in buildings while minimising waste, ensuring that energy is used efficiently.
The energy saved from this system is not the only contribution to the railway's overall goal of saving 957 Gcal of heat by 2025. The replacement of outdoor lights at Sverdlovsk Railway stations is another measure being taken. The outdoor lights are being replaced with more energy-efficient models, expected to contribute to further energy savings.
The replacement of outdoor lights is part of a larger strategy for environmental impact reduction. It's one of several measures being taken as part of a broader initiative for energy conservation. The press service has announced that similar energy-saving and environmentally friendly solutions have been implemented at seven RZD facilities across the country.
"Obstaya Gazeta" previously reported on the replacement of outdoor lights at Sverdlovsk Railway stations. The initiative is expected to significantly contribute to the total energy savings from all measures implemented.
It's worth noting that the energy saved from the replacement of outdoor lights is not included in the 957 Gcal of heat savings expected by 2025. However, it is expected to contribute to the overall goal of saving energy and reducing resource expenditure.
The modern weather analysis and control systems at train stations in Yekaterinburg, as well as at other stations across Russia, were installed by Russian Railways (RZD) in collaboration with specialized meteorological technology companies. These systems are expected to help the railway continue its efforts towards energy conservation and environmental impact reduction.
