Solar-powered metro rail systems extend the trend of adopting renewable energy and promoting sustainable urban development. Amongst renewable energy sources, the sun's abundant and inexhaustible energy typically generates solar power [6, 7].
The viability and possible advantages of solar power trains with an integrated battery system for energy storage and use are examined in this research study. The train's energy autonomy and dependability are increased by the hybrid system, which captures solar energy during the day and stores it in batteries for use at night or in low light.
