Abstract
This study provides a technical and financial analysis of the viability of producing green hydrogen and electrifying railway platforms at Hatia locations in India using solar energy and pumped hydro storage backup. The present study examines Hatia Railway Station's switch to green energy, highlighting the advantages and prospects it offers. Through the utilization of renewable energy sources like solar and wind power, the area may reduce greenhouse gas emissions, meet national climate objectives, and improve air quality. The solar potential of the area offers a strong basis for the generation of sustainable energy, reinforced by cutting-edge technology. Furthermore, creating green energy infrastructure has the potential to boost employment and economic growth, which would improve the community. The total energy produced by the PV panel is 2,266,982 kWh.
