 Walkers-ABB Intercity Express - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Walkers-ABB Intercity Express is a model of electric multiple unit used by CityTrain in southeast Queensland, Australia.
With the introduction of the new electric tilt train to service the Brisbane-Rockhampton electric route, the units were transferred to Citytrain for use on North Coast inter-urban services.
They no longer perform Gold Coast (Robina) trips, which is unfortunate and necessary; due to their origin as long-distance trains and their higher standards of comfort (greater than the IMU sets) they cannot carry as many passengers as is necessary on the busy line.

 QROTI - Travel Information - Fleet - EMU
In 1979 QR introduced the first electric multiple units into service, on the newly electrified Brisbane railway network.
The car bodies were manufactured by the Queensland engineering company Walkers, to an ASEA stainless steel design (since called ABB and now Adtranz) and incorporate glass reinforced plastic decorative front ends.
The success of these train sets was clearly demonstrated by increased patronage, high operating efficiency and the ever expanding electric network which serves the suburbs of Brisbane and much of south-east Queensland.

 AN ILL WIND
The Addison Preservation Group in the United States was created as a protest against windfarms, and it is clear that once again their action committee grew as a reaction to the adverse circumstances the local population endured after the building of the turbines rather than as a protest for NIMBY or any aesthetic prejudice.
It cannot guarantee a continual source of electricity, because in the absence of wind it produces none; and if the wind blows stronger than with a moderate gust, the turbine must close down for safety reasons; modern turbines have an automatic shut-off facility if a certain speed limit is overreached.
The electrical power consumed by such industries is not negligible, and also demonstrates another facet of industrialisation brought about by so-called 'green' wind energy.

 Control Engineering - AC Drives
ABB's new ACS 800 low voltage ac drive family comes in a compact enclosure design 50% smaller than its predecessors and is the ''narrowest in the industry.'' The freestanding enclosures of the 112 - 450 kW range easily fit into deep, narrow spaces, or wide, shallow spaces.
The units have the capacity to generate 150% torque for 60 seconds and have a frequency control range of 0 - 200 Hz.
The new drives include ABB's proprietary open-loop Direct Torque Control technology, which eliminates the need for installing encoders and enables the drives to calculate the state (torque and flux) of the motor 40,000 times per second, making the motor controllers trip-less.

 IMU - Interurban Multiple Unit
The trains were produced by Walkers Ltd. Maryborough in association with ABB Transportation Systems of Swizterland who provided the traction, auxiliary and computer control systems.
The IMUs are usually run as a three-car unit on Weekends while during peak hour they are run as a six-car set.
Trains drivers have access to full computerised information about the performance of the train, while other computers go about their tasks of controlling the GTO (gate turn-off) thyristor three phase traction converter and three phase electric traction motors.
