description
Network Rail operates a large portfolio of Auto Reconfiguration systems used to support the resilience of 400V TN S and 650V IT signalling power supplies. Many of these systems have been operational for more than two decades and face several challenges:
| • | Obsolescence of essential components affecting maintainability and availability |
| • | Reliance on legacy telecoms (such as 3G) due to national network withdrawals |
| • | Rising failure risk due to ageing cables, switchgear and protection components |
| • | Limited diagnostic capability in existing systems |
| • | Inconsistent compatibility with modern power protection and monitoring solutions |
| • | Increasing sustainability pressures, including carbon reduction and waste minimisation |
To support Network Rail’s long-term asset strategy and maintain operational performance, we are exploring a future programme to introduce a modern, cyber secure, modular, maintainable Auto Reconfiguration SPS platform.
This aligns to wider organisational objectives including:
| • | Improving safety and reliability for passengers and freight |
| • | Supporting digital railway capabilities |
| • | Reducing operational carbon |
| • | Enhancing maintainability |
| • | Delivering sustainable whole life value |
This preliminary market engagement will help confirm commercial viability, test supplier capability, and identify innovative approaches to support a future-proofed solution. It also seeks to understand the level of interest from the supply chain for any future tendering activity.
