The engineering design work is expected to take two years, and the construction a further three years. SEPTA also plans to build a new substation near Woodbourne station by Fall 2020, as the distance between Neshaminy Falls and Yardley substations is nearly twice the optimal 5-mile (8.0 km) distance between substations on a 12 kV 25 Hz system ...
A substation is a part of an electrical generation, transmission, and distribution system. Substations transform voltage from high to low, or the reverse, or perform any of several other important functions. Between the generating station and consumer, electric power may flow through several substations at different voltage levels.
A traction substation, traction current converter plant, rectifier station or traction power substation (TPSS) is an electrical substation that converts electric power from the form provided by the electrical power industry for public utility service to an appropriate voltage, current type and frequency to supply railways, trams (streetcars) or ...
The goal of the standard is to provide a single set of rules and regulations that cover the seismic design of both new and existing electrical substations, hence leading to standardization. [3] The standard provides the minimum requirements that the design of an electrical substation (except nuclear power plants) must adhere to.
Electric power distribution is the final stage in the delivery of electricity. Electricity is carried from the transmission system to individual consumers. Distribution substations connect to the transmission system and lower the transmission voltage to medium voltage ranging between 2 kV and 33 kV with the use of transformers . [ 1 ]
These substations may consist of two to eight or more primary transformers connected to the same secondary bus to provide reliable facility power. Examples of such single facilities include airports, hospitals, major data processing centers (especially those using uninterruptible power supplies), and sports arenas that regularly broadcast ...
The PRR substation architecture was based on a long-distance, high-speed railway. The substation spacing ensures that any train is never more than 4 or 5 miles from the nearest substation, which minimizes voltage drop. One disadvantage to the substation design as originally built by the PRR concerns its lack of 138 kV circuit breakers.
A view of the substation from the Monroe Street Bridge. The Post Street Electric Substation was designed by Kirtland K. Cutter for the Washington Water Power Company [3] and constructed in 1910 to serve as a low-tension distributing and converting station and as Washington Water Power's primary substation in Spokane.
