Simpler, lower cost AC electrification standards

Achieving net zero carbon by 2050 will need more electrification of the GB railway. This episode looks at new and updated standards that don’t just make the requirements easier to understand. They also have the potential to deliver cost savings of well over £27m over five years. So, if you design OLE or AC-powered trains, you’ll want to listen to this episode.01:24    About Mike Tatton02:14    How standards are changed03:43    Drivers of change for electrification standards05:33    Who will be using these standards06:42    What’s changed in GLRT1210, issue 3 12:03    What’s new in RIS-1853-ENE13:43    The new energy standards summarised14:29    About Darren Fitzgerald15:05    Key changes to the rolling stock RGS and the new RIS16:21    New vehicle bonding requirements17:25    Change to the cant rail warning line requirement18:38    Main benefits from changes to these standards19:45    Potential financial benefits from the changes21:00    Summary and close Resources mentioned in this episode:December 2022 webinar recording  https://rssb.videomarketingplatform.co/video/81831824/10:57/ac-current-collection-standards Register for the extended webinar at 11.00, 20 February 2023 https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/ac-standards-rolling-stock-and-electrification-registration-477392863907?ReturnUrl=https%3a%2f%2fwww.rssb.co.uk%2fservices-and-resources%2fservices%2fevents-and-webinars GLRT1210, AC Energy Subsystem and Interfaces to Rolling Stock Subsystem, issue 3 https://www.rssb.co.uk/standards-catalogue/CatalogueItem/glrt1210-iss-3 RIS-1853-ENE, AC Energy Subsystem and Interfaces to Rolling Stock Subsystem, issue 1 https://www.rssb.co.uk/standards-catalogue/CatalogueItem/ris-1853-ene-iss-1 RGS-2111, Rolling Stock Subsystem and Interfaces to AC Energy Subsystem, issue 3 https://www.rssb.co.uk/standards-catalogue/CatalogueItem/gmrt2111-iss-3 RIS-2715-RST, Rolling Stock Subsystem and Interfaces to AC Energy Subsystem, issue 1 https://www.rssb.co.uk/standards-catalogue/CatalogueItem/ris-2715-rst-iss-1
