Digital techniques and first-principles design: Challenging electrification costs

摘要

Taken together these projects represent one of the most significant reassessments of UK electrification technical policy since the switch from 1500V DC to 25kV AC in the 1950s. Atkins is engaging its unique strengths in this area to: 1. Challenge and rewrite existing national rules, based on accurate data and evidence gathered using digital techniques and tools; 2. Develop deviations from national rules at specific locations, using a similar approach; 3. Use modelling to refine an existing parameter assumption at a specific location. We continue to support these efforts, and welcome discussions with anyone who wishes to join us in achieving our aims.
