China News Service, Xiong’an, Hebei, December 19. Title: Beijing-Xiong Interurban Railway Xiong’an Station Visit: Not Only Will It Generate Electricity, But It Will Also Have A “Smart Brain”
China News Agency reporter Cui Tao
In Hebei’s ever-changing Xiong’an New District, the Xiong’an Station of the Jingxiong Interurban Railway is in the process of final decoration and will soon be operational. By then, Beijing will be able to reach the new Xiong’an district in half an hour. The reporter recently visited the station construction at the site to understand the hidden “mystery” at this high-speed train station.
Stations that generate electricity and “blooming columns”
As the first large-scale infrastructure project in the new Xiongan area, Xiongan Station is dominated from a great height. The outline of the ceiling is like the dew of a green lotus petal. This design is not only beautiful, but it is also equivalent to planting 120,000 hectares of trees.
According to Wang Xingyun, Undersecretary of the Xiong’an Station Project Party Working Committee of the China Railway Construction Engineering Group, the roof of the station is covered with 42,000 square meters of photovoltaic materials, making it a railway station capable of generating electricity. Average annual power generation can reach 5.8 million kilowatt-hours. The station’s lighting is used to bring clean electricity to Xiong’an Station’s public facilities. At the same time, it saves 1,800 tons of standard charcoal per year and reduces carbon dioxide emissions by 4,500 tons, which is equivalent to planting 120,000 hectares of trees.
In addition to generating electricity, this railway station also “hides” new equipment, such as the first appearance of the assembled sound-absorbing platform wall, which can reduce the noise caused by trains entering the station and make the wait more silent.
The reporter saw in the waiting room on the ground that high structural exposed concrete beams support the entire layer of the platform. These beams and columns are shaped like blooming flowers, which the builders call “flowery columns.” Wang Xingyun said that these floor pillars have beautiful curves and feature a natural “high-grade gray” under the premise of ensuring their strength. After completion, the surface is basically unchanged and the appearance is natural and fresh.
The “smart brain” is hidden in the smart train station
In recent years, China Railway has continuously promoted the construction of smart railway stations, and the waiting room at Xiong’an station has been equipped with a “smart brain”.
According to Fu Qiang, secretary of the party branch of Xiong’an Station in Beijing Train Depot, Xiong’an Station has several sets of intelligent systems that can deeply integrate business and technology through big data technologies, computing in the cloud and artificial intelligence of the Internet of things to form a unified command platform. The “smart brain” can monitor the entire operation process of all station monitoring equipment, electric meters, water meters, escalators and vertical stairs. Once the equipment fails, it can be repaired in time.
Also, the most striking is the “island style wind canopy”. According to Yu Jian, an engineer at the Xiong’an High-Speed Train Workshop in Shijiazhuang, the waiting room on the first floor of Xiong’an Station adopts an “island wind pavilion”, that is, a unit of Integrated island air conditioning, which performs layered control and uniformity of the thermal and humid indoor environment in the distributed high space waiting room.
Integration of the station and the city: flexible and diverse station design
The integrated design of the station and the city is an important feature of Xiongan Station. Xiong’an Station is a bridge station with 5 floors in the main body, including 3 floors above ground and 2 floors below ground. The total construction area of the project is 475,200 square meters, which is equivalent to 6 stations in Beijing.
Fu Qiang said that Xiong’an Station adopts a double-layer three-dimensional waiting design, with ground-level entrance as the main station and elevated level as a complement. The space between the ground layer and the platform layer is used to configure an exit mezzanine to make the entry and exit layers of passengers. “Separate from arrival to departure”, smooth entry and exit. The design can be effectively integrated into the urban body, and the station layout is flexible and diverse, forming a streamlined pattern of multiple inputs and multiple outputs. Over time, passengers can freely choose between ground hold and elevated hold to improve hub transfer efficiency.
Zhou Tiezheng, chief expert and chief architect of China Railway Design Group Co., Ltd., said that the design of Xiong’an station fully embodies the concept of “integration of the station and the city”, closely integrating the station and urban space, and the transport function of the high-speed train station is organically connected with the urban public service function. Interconnection, under high intensity integrated development, allows multiple entities to share the enormous economic benefits and value of development around the station. (End up)
