How does the "Windmill Kingdom" Netherlands achieve low-carbon transportation powered by wind energy for national electric trains?

2018-09-11

To achieve its ambitious energy-saving plan, the Dutch railway company (Nederlandse Spoorwegen, hereinafter referred to as "NS") is increasing the proportion of renewable energy used. Starting from 2017, all electric trains operated by NS will be powered by wind energy. Founded in 1938, NS is the main railway operator in the Netherlands, with an average of 1 million passengers transported daily, making it one of the busiest railway systems in Europe. NS is vigorously promoting energy-saving and emission reduction plans, aiming to reduce overall energy consumption by 2% annually, with a target set for 202...

To achieve its ambitious energy-saving plan, Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS) is increasing the proportion of renewable energy used. Starting from 2017, all electric trains operated by NS will be powered by wind energy.

NS was established in 1938 and is the main railway operator in the Netherlands, with an average of 1 million passengers transported daily, making it the busiest railway system in Europe.

NS is vigorously promoting energy-saving and emission reduction plans, aiming to reduce overall energy consumption by 2% annually, with a target of reducing energy consumption by more than 65% by 2020 compared to 2005. This is a daunting and long-term task, as NS needs to consume 1.4 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity daily, which accounts for about 1% of the Netherlands' total electricity consumption, equivalent to the annual electricity usage of Amsterdam residents.

NS believes that taking the train is an environmentally friendly mode of transportation. In the Netherlands, 20% of carbon emissions and air pollution are caused by road traffic and aviation, but taking trains powered by renewable energy does not contribute to carbon emissions and also reduces air pollution.

As early as 2015, NS reached an agreement with energy supplier Eneco to ensure that by 2018, all electricity used for electric train traction would come from renewable energy. This is an important measure for NS to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, and a new wind farm built by Eneco will continuously provide power for electric locomotives. Due to relatively smooth progress, NS had already achieved 75% of the planned target by 2016.

To ensure stable electricity supply, the electricity used by electric locomotives comes from wind farms in the Netherlands, Scandinavia, and Belgium.

A manager from Eneco believes that the continuous and stable supply of renewable energy is not only a matter for the Netherlands but also something that needs to be considered across Europe.

The Netherlands is known as the "Kingdom of Windmills," with a long history of utilizing wind energy. Today, more than 2,000 wind turbines are distributed across the Netherlands' inland and coastline, generating wind power that can meet the electricity needs of 2.4 million households.

The Dutch government is also actively increasing the proportion of renewable energy in the energy structure, planning to reach a share of 16% by 2023. It is expected that the 600MW Gemini wind farm will be put into operation by 2017.

Breakthrough: The first offshore wind farm in the United States has officially been put into operation.

Inner Mongolia has been designated as a red card zone for wind power construction, and industry insiders indicate that the warning areas will continue to increase.

Specialized shelf application +1

The application of custom shelves and auxiliary tools Our company, with excellent design capabilities and years of practical experience, provides users with specialized shelves and auxiliary tools that closely meet their needs. Users can plan their logistics and storage methods based on a simple introduction. 1: Heavy-duty shelves made of section steel Users may have many overweight, oversized, and other special-shaped products or equipment. Using standard shelves can have many limitations. Our company designs and manufactures many custom projects using commercially available standard steel profiles, reducing the footprint for users and shortening processes effectively. Key selection points: 1. On-site lifting: whether to use a forklift or a crane. The lifting method significantly affects the design of the shelf assembly. 2. The weight, shape, access rhythm of the stored goods, and whether special brackets are needed. Examples include: - Automatic warehouse for car shells at Beijing Benz - ABB Beijing testing motor system rack - Equipment installation rack for automotive factories 2: Movable cantilever shelves Movable cantilever shelves are suitable for storing long materials and can be moved out using electric or manual methods for easy access by cranes. A reasonable arrangement of multiple movable cantilever shelves can save a significant amount of floor space. The load capacity, dimensions, and number of layers of the shelves can be designed and manufactured according to user requirements. 3: Pull-out heavy material rack

Tools and Implementation of Lean Production Management

1: What is Lean Production? Lean Production (LP) is a term coined by experts from the International Motor Vehicle Program (IMVP) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, in praise of the Japanese "Toyota Just In Time (JIT) production method." "Lean" refers to not investing excess production factors and only producing the necessary quantity of urgently needed products (or products urgently needed by the next process) at the appropriate time. "Production" means that all business activities must be beneficial and effective, with economic efficiency. 2: Four Characteristics of Lean Production 3: Six Advantages of Lean Production 4: Ten Tools of Lean Production
