I-Switzerland ibuye futhi evelfront ye-Clean Energy Innovation nephrojekthi yokuqala yomhlaba: ukufakwa kwamaphaneli elanga asuswayo kumathrekhi e-siakalo asebenzayo. Kuthuthukiswe yinkampani yokuqalisa indlela yeLanga ngokubambisana neSwitzer Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL), lolu hlelo oluhlabayo luzobhekana nengqalasizinda ekhona yesitimela ngamandla elanga, ukuhlinzeka ngesisombululo samandla esisezingeni eliphakeme ne-eco-friendly engadingi indawo eyengeziwe.
Ubuchwepheshe "banezindlela zelanga" buvumela amaphaneli elanga afakwe phakathi kwamathrekhi ojantshi, avumele izitimela ezizodlula ngaphandle kokuvinjwa. "Lokhu kuphawula okokuqala amaphaneli elanga azofakwa kumathrekhi wesitimela asebenzayo," kusho uJoseph Scuderi, uCeo wesikhulu selanga. Amaphaneli azofakwa ngezitimela ezikhethekile eziklanywe yiSwitzerland Tract Traition Seartion Company, enomthamo wokubeka kuze kufike kumamitha ayi-1,000 skwele ama-panles ngosuku.
Isici esingukhiye sohlelo ukususwa kwaso, ukubhekana nenselelo evamile ebhekene nezinhlelo zangaphambilini zelanga. Amaphaneli elanga angasuswa kalula ukuze alungiswe, okusha okwenze amandla elanga asebenze kumanethiwekhi wesitimela. "Amandla okususa amaphaneli aqakathekileko," kuchaza uScudleri, egcizelela ukuthi lokhu kunqoba izinselelo ezazivale ukusetshenziswa kwamandla elanga ezitimeleni.
Iphrojekthi ye-Pilot yeminyaka emithathu izoqala entwasahlobo engama-2025, enamaphaneli elanga angama-48 azofakwa engxenyeni yethrekhi yesitimela eduze kwesiteshi se-Neuchâtelbutz, esitholakala amamitha ayi-100. Izindlela zelanga zilinganisela ukuthi uhlelo luzokhiqiza ugesi olungu-16,000 kWh ngonyaka - okwanele ukunika amandla amakhaya endawo. Iphrojekthi, exhaswa ngemali nge-CHF 585,000 (€ 623,000), ifuna ukukhombisa amandla okuhlanganisa amandla elanga kunethiwekhi yesitimela.
Naphezu kwamandla awo athembisayo, le phrojekthi ibhekene nezinselelo ezithile. I-International Union of Railways (UIC) iveze ukukhathazeka maqondana nokuqina kwamaphaneli, ama-microcracks angahle abe ama-microcracks, kanye nengozi yomlilo. Kukhona nokwesaba ukuthi ukukhombisa okuvela kumaphaneli kungaphazamisa abashayeli bezitimela. Ephendula, izindlela zelanga zisebenze ekuthuthukiseni izindawo zokulwa namaphaneli nezinto zokuqinisa. "Sithuthukise amaphaneli ahlala isikhathi eside kunawongo wendabuko, futhi bangafaka ngisho nezihlungi zokulwa nokubhala," kuchaza uScuderi, ekhuluma lokhu kukhathazeka.
Izimo zezulu, ikakhulukazi iqhwa neqhwa, nazo zihlatshwe umkhosi njengezinkinga ezingaba khona, ngoba zingaba nomthelela ekusebenzeni kwamaphaneli. Kodwa-ke, izindlela zelanga zisebenza ngenkuthalo ngesisombululo. "Sithuthukisa uhlelo oluncibilikisa imali ebekiwe," kusho uScuderi, eqinisekisa ukuthi uhlelo luhlala lusebenza unyaka wonke.
Umqondo wokufaka amaphaneli elanga kumathrekhi wesitimela unganciphisa kakhulu umthelela wezemvelo wamaphrojekthi wamandla. Ngokusebenzisa ingqalasizinda ekhona, uhlelo lugwema isidingo samapulazi amasha elanga kanye nezinyawo zawo ezihambisana nezemvelo. "Lokhu kuqondanisa nomkhuba wembulunga yonke wokunciphisa umthelela wezemvelo wamaphrojekthi wamandla nokuhlangana izinhloso zokunciphisa i-carbon," kusho uScuderi.
Uma ngiphumelele, lolu hlelo lokuphayona lungasebenza njengemodeli emazweni asemhlabeni jikelele abheke ukukhulisa amandla abo avuselelwa amandla. "Sikholwa ukuthi le phrojekthi ngeke isize ukonga amandla kodwa futhi inikeze izinzuzo zezomnotho zesikhathi eside kohulumeni nezinkampani zezinto," kusho uDanichet, ugcizelela amandla okulondolozwa kwezindleko.
Ekuphetheni, ubuchwepheshe bokukhanya kwelanga 'ubuchwepheshe obusha buguqula indlela amandla elanga ahlanganiswe ngayo kumanethiwekhi okuhamba. Njengoba izwe lifuna izixazululo zamandla ezi-scaly, ezizinzile, iSwitzerland's GroundBreak Project Project ingamela impumelelo embonini yamandla avuselelekayo ibilindele.
