LHB coaches needs EOG which further needs good quantity of diesel. Old ICF coaches were running without these large generators. Use of Generators is again coming o diesel consumption on electrified lines. And its not the small amount. Addition to that EOG take place of 2 coaches which makes a 24 coach train to 20 coach train.
So its definitely not the thing that EOG is compulsory. It may be replaced by several different ideas which you can comment below.

Solar power can be used but it's still not enough and always available to feed AC of LHB coaches.. So need Conventional way of power source which is by Deisel Gensets only.. Solar power the Renewable source can be used but have to reduce consumption load first for which power requirements will be reduced.
energy density is too low for solar.
The RMPU for AC itself require 25kW, and there are two of them, one on each end of the coach.
add into it another 10 kW of lighting and small power load and your power requirement becomes 60 kW. for those 60 kW, using monocrystalline type panels (which give highest efficiency, but are very costly and have to be imported) you need an area of almost 5500 Sq. Ft. to realize how much area that is, consider this: total surface area of AC Coach is around...

The total investment will be more if in present conditions we need to utilize solar power and also it will be not efficient one.. I read one article where a small boy thought of using wind fan in travelling train to produce Electricity but if we go to adopt it then too it needs better research and solid fans which can withstand winds in high speeds of trains. But right now without Deisel Gensets we don't have any efficient way for feeding power to LHB coaches na..?

-- We do, we can do it easily by using HOG Loco and rake modified for HOG operation.

After looking at various things.... we can say that R&D is very less in India.
