Abstract

The paper describes a measurement campaign conducted in a metro trains deposit/maintenance and repair site for the trains in operation on the metro line B of Rome. For the measurement campaign the network analyzer Chauvin Arnoux CA 8335 has been used. The measurements were conducted by performing a monitoring on general consumption and on relevant individual loads such as office building, lighting towers, lighting, lathe, etc. The knowledge of total energy consumption and of electrical loads allows the identification of possible different strategies for energy efficiency by using the PV production. Some evaluations are also conducted on the possible use of storage energy systems.
