4. Project Description
Project Activity
The project activity operates low GHG emitting rolling stocks having regenerative
braking system in Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC). The project activity
replaces the conventional electro-dynamic rheostatic braking technology, with
regenerative braking technology fitted rolling stocks. The regenerated electrical
energy reduces the consumption of equivalent grid electrical energy required by
the powering trains, thereby conserving electrical energy and subsequently leading
to GHG emission reduction.
Salient Features of the Project
Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has electrical driven Mass Rapid
Transport System which uses 4 car rolling stocks on different service lines. A
typical rolling stock used by DMRC consists of two units, each comprising of two
cars, a Driving Trailer car (DT) and a Motor Car (M). The Delhi Metro System is
designed for rolling stock where coaches are equipped with 3 phase AC traction
motors with regenerative braking system. The regenerative braking technology
employed in DMRC is different from the prevalent system adopted by metro
system in the country which is use of conventional electro-dynamic rheostatic

DMRC 1st Monitoring Report

Page 4 of 17

braking system. The electro-dynamic rheostatic braking system converts the

kinetic energy of decelerating Rolling stock into the thermal energy of rheostats
which is dissipated as heat without regenerating electrical energy while
decelerating. Hence, the choice made by DMRC for using regenerative braking
technology displays the environmental consciousness of the management.
The technology for regenerative braking system in the rolling stock is provided by
Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, Japan without any technology transfer. The
regenerative braking system works on the principle of converting kinetic energy of
the rolling stock while decelerating, into electrical energy using 3 phase Induction
motor and Variable Voltage Variable Frequency Control (VVVF) Technology. In
the regenerative mode, the traction motors work as generators and the ConverterInverter (CI) converts the electrical energy regenerated to Direct Current (DC).
The DC is subsequently converted to single-phase line frequency AC voltage,
which is stepped up by transformer to the level of 25 kV. The single phase line
frequency AC voltage is then fed back to the Over Head Equipment (OHE). The
regenerated electrical energy supplied back to the OHE is used by other
accelerating Rolling stock in the same service line. The regenerated electrical
energy reduces the consumption of equivalent amount of grid electrical energy
which would otherwise have been consumed by the accelerating trains, thereby
conserving electrical energy and reducing GHG emissions.
The introduction of low GHG emitting rolling stocks having regenerative braking
system in Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has been commissioned in the
three corridors (service lines) as follows:

Electrical energy consumed by the operational rolling stock i
Train Integration and Management System (TIMS) reading
10298021 (for further details refer Annex 1 of this Monitoring
Report)
Electrical energy consumed by each rolling stock is the sum of
the electrical energy consumed by the rolling stock i for
motoring (M) and the Auxiliary electricity consumption (SIV),
both of which are monitored by TIMS. The energy data for
monitoring is downloaded from TIMS of Rolling Stock using
a maintenance terminal. Since TIMS is software based
electronic equipment it has a high degree of accuracy (+
0.01%) and as per manufacturer specifications requires no
calibration from time to time.
The TIMS data is recorded by CDM team member (From each
service line depot) of the Rolling Stock Department and is
forwarded to the CDM Coordinator of the project. A data
review meeting is conducted once in 6 months which is
chaired by CDM Chairman. In this meeting, data compiled by
CDM coordinator is cross checked with service line data of all
the rolling stock. Subsequently to check further the data
authenticity and accuracy, data is verified, audited and signed
by senior officials from DMRC.

The monitoring of the all electrical energy data required for estimation of baseline and
project emissions for the project activity is through state of the art electronic
equipments like TIMS. This is an electronic device with very high accuracy for
measurement and recording.
The operation and maintenance (O&M) staff downloads the TIMS recorded data from
the rolling stock on a regular basis and stores this data on a Computer for further
records. The parameters concerned are well documented and numbered. The
documented parameters are duly signed by respective Rolling Stock Depot in-charges
and forwarded to CDM co-coordinator on a monthly basis. The parameters are
documented according to the standard procedures. The report received from O&M
department is compiled and maintained by CDM coordinator. The data capture and
power flow scheme is pictorially depicted given in Annexure 3.
