This abstract presents the plan, engineering, and commissioning of a 1MWp Solar Photovoltaic (PV) project for Delhi Metro. The objective of this project is to integrate solar energy into the power supply system of Delhi Metro, reducing its carbon footprint and promoting sustainable practices. The planning phase involved careful site selection, considering factors such as solar irradiation, available space, and accessibility. Engineering activities included designing the solar PV system layout, selecting appropriate components, and conducting feasibility studies to optimize energy generation. Integration with the existing electrical infrastructure of Delhi Metro was a crucial aspect of the engineering process. Further the construction and commissioning will be done in the future because of issue in the roof access allocation within DMRC. Also, in this study involves the comparison of the data collected from the online monitoring system (eSENZ) with the simulated results obtained from PVsyst. The analysis includes the assessment of power generation, efficiency, and other performance indicators. By comparing the two datasets, the effectiveness and accuracy of eSENZ as a monitoring tool are evaluated. The results of this study provide valuable insights into the performance of the solar PV system and the reliability of eSENZ as an online monitoring solution. It also highlights the potential for optimization by comparing the performance predicted by PVsyst with the actual performance observed through eSENZ. This information is crucial for system operators, as it enables them to fine-tune and optimize the system's performance, leading to increased energy generation and improved overall efficiency.
