The article discusses the main aspects of the use of solar energy as a source of
railway automation and remote control power. The analysis of the current regulatory
framework on the matter. Describes the benefi ts of autonomous feeding installations.
A special group assigned the basic requirements for power systems and
redundant power supplies automation and remote control equipment. Performed
economic calculations independent power supply automation system on the basis
of statistical of data from the coeffi cient insolation territory of the Moscow region
during the last 20 years. A brief summary of the main problems that may arise
during commissioning, maintenance and use of photovoltaic panels on the rail
network «Russian Railways». Particular attention is paid to future prospects for of
the widespread introduction of solar installations in respect for powering signaling
interlocking and blocking devices.
