  2. Substation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substation

    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 the consumer, electric power may flow through several substations at different voltage levels.

  5. HVDC converter station - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HVDC_converter_station

    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:

  7. Electrical grid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_grid

    Step-down substation: these transformers lower the voltage coming from the transmission lines which can be used in industry or sent to a distribution substation. Distribution substation: these transform the voltage lower again for the distribution to end users. Aside from transformers, other major components or functions of substations include:

  8. Traction substation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traction_substation

    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 ...

  9. Switchyard reactor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switchyard_reactor

    In an electric power transmission grid system, switchyard reactors are large inductors installed at substations to help stabilize the power system.. For transmission lines, the space between the overhead line and the ground forms a capacitor parallel to transmission line, which causes an increase in voltage as the distance increases.
