The first step in planning a substation layout is the preparation of a one-line diagram, which shows in simplified form the switching and protection arrangement required, as well as the incoming supply lines and outgoing feeders or transmission lines. It is a usual practice by many electrical utilities to prepare one-line diagrams with ...
General layout of electricity networks. The voltages and loadings are typical of a European network (in Canada, for example, Extra High Voltage can mean 735kV.) The transition from transmission to distribution happens in a power substation, which has the following functions: [2]
Layout of a spot low-voltage network In electricity distribution networks, spot network substations (network transformers) are used in interconnected distribution networks. They have the secondary network (also called a grid network) with all supply transformers bussed together on the secondary side at one location.
An HVDC converter station (or simply converter station) is a specialised type of substation which forms the terminal equipment for a high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission line. [1] It converts direct current to alternating current or the reverse. In addition to the converter, the station usually contains:
Building code and electrical code regulations will dictate minimal working space around equipment to allow safe access during maintenance. Practical design of an electrical room will consider layout of the initial equipment and allow for additions over the economic life of the facility.
General layout of electricity grids. Voltages and depictions of electrical lines are typical for Germany and other European systems. Distribution is the final stage in the delivery of power; it carries electricity from the transmission system to individual consumers.
A typical one-line diagram with annotated power flows. Red boxes represent circuit breakers, grey lines represent three-phase bus and interconnecting conductors, the orange circle represents an electric generator, the green spiral is an inductor, and the three overlapping blue circles represent a double-wound transformer with a tertiary winding.
Most of differences in the layout and design of low-voltage networks are dictated by the mains voltage rating. In Europe and most of the world 220–240 V is the dominant choice, while in North America 120 V is the standard. [5] ANSI standard C84.1 recommends a +5%, −2.5% tolerance for the voltage range at a service point. [6]
