Greener & Smarter Railway Stations

Railway station energy management for sustainable mobility

Project summary

The project aims to demonstrate how a scalable, interoperable Energy Management System (EMS) can transform large multimodal transit hubs into smart, decarbonised energy ecosystems. Railway stations are complex infrastructures combining transport operations, retail, building systems, EV charging, and increasingly on-site renewable production (e.g., solar PV), all under growing pressure to reduce emissions, control energy costs, and enhance operational resilience.

Hyggle’s web-based EMS connects to existing infrastructure and consolidates siloed data into a unified real-time supervision platform. The system enables automated tracking of energy flows and CO₂ impact, demand and production forecasting, early detection of inefficiencies, and simulation of renewable or green hydrogen integration. It also provides decision-support tools to align consumption, demand-response mechanisms, and energy market signals.

Context

Railway stations lack unified, real-time energy management to reduce costs, integrate renewables, and meet decarbonisation targets amid growing operational complexity.

Challenge

The project will deploy an interoperable energy management system that centralises data, forecasts demand, optimises energy flows, and supports renewable integration and market-aligned energy strategies.

Expected outcome

Reduced emissions and energy costs, improved operational efficiency, and validated scalability across station networks.
