High-Voltage Electric Power Substation Configuration
components and flow of power through the substation along with a backup power supply to ensure the equipment continues to function after a loss of electricity. Three types of BPS substations exist: transmission, switching, and distribution.13 Transmission substations connect power plants to the BPS grid and convert low-voltage electricity to HV.
Designing Electrical Substations for a Modernized Energy Grid
Transmission substations are where circuits connect, creating a network for energy to flow at high voltages. Distribution substations are responsible for electricity distribution to the customers within electricity grids. These substations operate at a lower voltage compared to transmission substations, typically ranging from 12 kV to 34.5 kV.
