  2. Substation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substation

    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 ...

  3. Single-line diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-line_diagram

    In power engineering, a single-line diagram (SLD), also sometimes called one-line diagram, is a simplest symbolic representation of an electric power system. [1][2] A single line in the diagram typically corresponds to more than one physical conductor: in a direct current system the line includes the supply and return paths, in a three-phase ...

  4. High-voltage substations in the United Kingdom - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-voltage_substations...

    Higher voltage substations were built as part of the super-grid designed for the bulk transfer of electricity which began to operate from 1953, firstly at 275 kV then from 1965 additionally at 400 kV. [2] The first 400 kV line was the 150 mile section between West Burton power station in Nottinghamshire and Sundon substation in Bedfordshire ...

  5. Electric power transmission - Wikipedia

    The study measured the electric field strength at the edge of an existing right-of-way on a 765 kV transmission line. The field strength was 1.6 kV/m, and became the interim maximum strength standard for new transmission lines in New York State. The opinion also limited the voltage of new transmission lines built in New York to 345 kV.

  6. Electric power distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_distribution

    Electric power distribution. 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 ...

  7. 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: three-phase alternating ...
