||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Jan Stelmach MSc Elect Eng CPEng MIEAustD’ACE Design And Consulting EngineersThe electrification of the Auckland passenger service is one of the biggest transport infrastructure projects undertaken by the government of New Zealand. The Auckland Electrified Area (AEA) consists of approximately 175 Single Track Kilometres over five existing, yet to be built and upgraded railway lines. This paper describes the general requirement for the railway fixed electrical infrastructure and then discusses the applied process and tools used to determine the most appropriate traction system for the Auckland electrification. It also points to the challenges encountered and solutions found during that process. The project is in progress and therefore this paper refers to its present status as at the end of September 2008. |
