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 ...
Vehicle-to-grid is a system under development allowing electric cars to provide power to the grid at times of high demand, low supply from e.g. wind and solar power and therefore high prices, and charge the car again when the price is lower, based on the energy need the car owner has defined in the car settings (such as need for long distance ...
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 original NERC was formed on June 1, 1968, by the electric utility industry to promote the reliability and adequacy of bulk power transmission in the electric utility systems of North America. NERC's mission is to "ensure the reliability of the North American bulk power system." [7]
Substation integration refers to combining data from the IED's local to a substation so that there is a single point of contact in the substation for all of the I&C data. Power-system automation processes rely on data acquisition; power-system supervision and power-system control all working together in a coordinated automatic fashion.
