Sustainable Railway Systems
STRATEGIC VALIDATION ROADMAP
Focus: BRI • PV Integration • Digital Twin
The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is shifting from hard infrastructure to green technology. As a Principal Investigator at SCUT, our research targets the Middle Corridor—specifically utilizing Uzbekistan as a “Living Lab” to validate PV-integrated railway systems.
1. The Strategic Gap Analysis
Why Uzbekistan is the perfect candidate for “Leapfrog” technology compared to traditional European standards:
2. The “Sim-to-Twin” Protocol
To de-risk deployment, we follow a rigorous 4-stage validation process:
Simulation
Matlab/Simulink algorithm design.
Digital Twin
Virtual replica with real GIS data.
Pilot
Uzbekistan station deployment.
The Energy Hub Architecture
How four technologies integrate into one system:
