Description
This talk will examine aspects of one of the of the largest engineering projects in the UK - the Network Rail electrification one of Britains' oldest and busiest railways.
Between 1995 and 2002 Dave was a consultant within the UK railway industry, specifically in the fields of EMC and electrification/signalling electrical interfaces, and in electrification design.
In 2002, he led the system design of the first multi-track autotransformer electrification system in the UK and developed the methods and tools now used within Network Rail for modern electrification system design. From 2013 Dave was Head of Energy Network Strategy within Network Rail, including integrated protection and control technology (IEC 61850). Dave now acts as the Engineering Expert for Network Rail in traction power system design.
