sir this is some of faults in these coaches,that's why their production is stopped.
Some experiments are being done, but the concept has been mostly scrapped now. SG coaches have higher maintenance requirements and not suitable for high speed runs ( Basically they nullify all the advantages of the LHB coaches). Also, the FIAT bogie design is not really good for adding generating equipment below the coach. That's why now the only focus is on developing HOG systems, and integrating the diesel generator into the SLR coaches.
RCF did manufacture some LHB coaches with roof mounted solar panels for power generation, but as such the concept of self-generating LHB is almost scrapped now.

The experiment mentioned in your PDF was done in 2013-14. You can find a mention of the same in the following page detailing IR's efforts in constructing SG LHB coaches.

Even now, RCF is conducting trials for SG LHB coaches, but over the last 1 year, IR has shifted focus to equipping locomotives with HOG systems to power the rakes. From a maintenance perspective and other factors like construction cost, running speed etc, HOG/EOG based coaches are more economical than SG coaches. May be SG LHB coaches...
