This leads to the adoption of dual 25 kV as the power of choice for operators. Dual 25 kV literally doubles the power available to rail networks, helping rail operators to meet some of the demands they are facing. Not surprisingly, this fact, along with the EU directive on 'interoperability of the trans-European high speed rail system', which aims to ease the circulation of high-speed trains through the various train networks of the European Union, will lead it to become the future standard across Europe.","PeriodicalId":182274,"journal":{"name":"Power Engineer","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120959310","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is achieved by constructing the necessary grid reinforcements while getting more out of its current transmission network. However, the growth in renewable poses new challenges for the UK transmission network, particularly in Scotland. Transmission system reinforcements, which are necessary to carry the very large amounts of additional power generated by wind and marine from the more remote parts of the UK, may potentially be delayed by lengthy public enquiries. FACTS and WAMS technology could allow a flexible upgrade path for the existing transmission network, enabling it to work harder and smarter, while allowing time for the construction of necessary transmission reinforcement and help make the achievement of the UK Government 2010 Renewable Energy Targets more likely.","PeriodicalId":182274,"journal":{"name":"Power Engineer","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116137398","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
