Power electronics for energy conversion and efficiency

Dr Pietro Tricoli writes about his work in power electronics and how it plays its part in the decarbonisation agenda. If you think about rail decarbonisation you’re likely to think, “Electric trains.” You will have read in this blog series that we need the right amount of the right kind of electricity to power our … Continue reading “Power electronics for energy conversion and efficiency”

Energy, Electricity and Fuel for decarbonised railways

  Dr Stuart Hillmansen explains about how much energy we really need for a train, and how we can decarbonise this energy. We have heard from our aerodynamic team about the importance of air resistance on train energy consumption, and in today’s blog we are going to get down to business to delve deeper into … Continue reading “Energy, Electricity and Fuel for decarbonised railways”
