This means that JR Central has also been striving to conserve the energy of rolling stock manufacture 352 new cars and begin to use them. rolling stock in an effort to further reduce the Shinkansen's energy the N700A type is not only faster but also much more energy- on conventional lines. We will promote the introduction of rolling stock In anticipation of the replacement of the 85 Series diesel railcars consumption. Starting from FY2007, we have introduced a total efficient. As a result, the Energy Consumption unit as of the end of with better energy efficiency by introducing the Regenerative Braking currently used for the“Hida” limited express and other trains, the Company of 80 Series N700 trainsets to replace Series 300, while from FY2019 decreased approximately 33% from what it was in FY1990.

Between FY 2014 and FY 2023, we are expect to be able to reduce the electricity use on the Shinkansen proceeding with work to replace some of these devices with those Common Initiatives for the Shinkansen and Conventional Lines by approximately 3%. with less electricity loss. This is expected to reduce the electricity use on the Shinkansen by approximately 2%. Energy-saving by replacing high-pressure mercury lamps with LED JR Central had conventionally used high-pressure mercury lamps associated with lighting of railway facilities by approximately 70% Great environmental performance of Tokaido Shinkansen for lighting in stations, railroad crossings, and other railway facilities. (down 20 million kWh) compared to the level prior to the replacement Tokaido Shinkansen has greatly improved in environmental performance both in terms of speed and comfort due to the introduction of the following technologies. However, we are proceeding to replace high-pressure mercury lamps work. At the same time, we expect to also reduce the annual CO2 with LED. We plan to complete the replacement process by the end of emission volume by approximately 70% (down 10,000 t) compared to Reduction in running resistance With regard to N700A type, we reduce the running resistance by introducing a nose shape with great aerodynamic attributes, using flush 2020, as a result of which we will cut our annual power consumption the prior level, thereby decreasing environmental burden. 1 windowpanes, which have no unevenness between the outside panel and windowpane, and installing coverall hoods between all cars, etc. The Figure 1 N700S’s Dual Supreme Wing design contributes to reducing air resistance even further.

Use of silicon carbide The N700S’s drive system employs next-generation low-loss silicon carbide semiconductors with superior high temperature performance. The Facility and workshop status 2 N700S is the first Shinkansen rolling stock that employs a smaller sixtupole magnet instead of a quadrupole magnet in its motor, making the drive semiconductor drive system motor more compact and more lightweight than ever before. The overall weight of the drive system is 10 tons lighter than that of the Series N700.

The Body Inclining System is introduced in order to increase the speed at curves currently subject to speed restriction. This system 3 Introducing the Body Inclining System makes it possible to increase speed while securing comfort and shortening travel time, and to simultaneously cut power consumption by JR Gate Tower Hamamatsu Workshop reducing the frequency of speed acceleration and deceleration. With the JR Gate Tower, the construction of which was completed in February 2017, we worked on creating an energy-efficient environment within The Hamamatsu Workshop, which conducts general overhauls of Shinkansen rolling Expansion of Electric Power We adopt the Electric Power Regenerative Braking System, in which the motor is used as a generator during braking to produce electricity and the entire building and reduce the environmental burden by introducing regional air-conditioning systems, adopting LED lighting, installing solar power stock, completed its renovation construction in March 2019. In addition to introducing return it to the catenary. While 12 of the 16 cars in one trainset of Series 700 were regenerative, 14 of the 16 cars in one trainset of the Series generation panels, creating green areas in the 15th-floor rooftop garden and on roofs of low-rise buildings, etc. We not only achieved “Rank S” in a solar energy generation system with the capacity to generate approximately 300 kW 4 Regenerative Braking System N700 or later versions are regenerative. The Electric Power Regenerative Braking System provides all of the braking power needed for one environmental performance, which is the highest rank on the“CASBEE (Comprehensive Assessment System for Built Environment Efficiency)” scale, but also or about 450,000 kWh annually on the rooftop of the workshop, we implemented a Figure 2 trainset during normal braking. reduced approximately 25% of CO2 emissions from the building compared to standard model buildings, according to the CASBEE Nagoya 2010 standard. highly efficient substation facility, boilers, and other equipment. The power converter (CI) converts electricity from the catenary and sends it to the motor at the time of acceleration, and returns the electricity 5 Lighter, smaller blower-less generated by the motor back to the catenary at the time of deceleration. JR Central employs a system that uses airflow from running for air cooling. General Education Center Nagoya Workshop CI in all motor cars For N700A, these CI were made 17% smaller and lighter than that of the Series N700. In addition, for N700S, these CI were made 55% smaller and approximately 600 kg lighter than that of the Series N700 and are installed on all motor cars. At the General Education Center, which was opened in September 2011, we aim JR Central has been taking anti-earthquake measures and upgrading facilities to conserve energy by introducing a ventilation system which uses ice thermal storage from February 2014 in the Nagoya Workshop where general overhauls, etc., of In the cabins of regular cars on the N700A, lighting has been optimized in accordance with the bright seat colors. LED lighting with a dimmer function 6 Optimization of cabin lighting have also been installed in the toilets and powder rooms. These measures have contributed to achieving a reduction in lighting energy consumption by achieved by the utilization of nighttime electricity service as its heat source and LED conventional line rolling stock are conducted. We aim to reduce approximately and introduction of LED lighting approximately 20% compared to Series N700. We have been installing LED lighting in passenger cabins of rolling stock introduced in FY2016 and thereafter lighting, etc. Furthermore, we designed the building to use natural energy effectively 20% of electricity consumption for the entire workshop by introducing high to reduce power consumed for lighting. In addition, N700S was the first Shinkansen to use LED headlights, achieving energy savings of approximately 50%. by improving external insulation efficiency through arranging a rooftop garden and ceiling LED lighting and replacing some transforming equipment with highly taking advantage of natural wind and light as much as possible. As a result, we were efficient ones to meet requirements under the Top Runner System*. Approximately 90% (weight ratio) of the waste generated after scrapping the Shinkansen rolling stock is recyclable. With the N700A or later types, 100% recyclable General Education Center (rooftop able to obtain“Rank S”, which is the highest assessment level under the“CASBEE”. polyester has been used for seat cushions, and stainless steel has been used for bogie skirts, which cover bogies to lower air resistance, achieving high recyclability.
