SYNOPSIS
The railway industry is growing rapidly in Malaysia. The continued investment by the government on the railway would mean that the industry must be prepared to transform itself in facing future challenges in terms of safety, development, train operations, maintenance and future planning. There is also a need to have a better control on the quality and types of products to be introduced in Malaysia. As more and more new products from abroad are being introduced to the industry, we must not ignore the legacy systems that had already been in place in the railway for many years in Malaysia. These pose interesting challenges to the regulator and operators. To transform the industry, we must also look into enhancing safety awareness and technical knowhow within the industry. Simultaneously, we must look into enhancing the capability of the local manufacturers to enable them to support the railway industry. Several new strategies and initiatives are being introduced for this purpose. This includes the establishment of the Railway Safety Committee, development of railway technical standards and human capital technology transfer programme.
IEM Electrical Engineering Technical Division has organised “One Day Seminar Railway Electrical Systems For LRT/MRT Projects in Malaysia” in cooperation with Institution of Railway Signal Engineers (IRSE) – Malaysian Section which will focus on informing participants on the knowledge of railway electrical system, types and comparisons among power rail system and application, electrical structure of traction power system, regenerative braking system, energy management in railway systems, and system assurance & RAMS. This seminar will bring together industry experts, equipment manufacturers and suppliers, owners, developers, engineering firms, and academic institutions, to benefit from large group gathering and focusing on the way forward for Malaysia’s railway electrical systems.
