ABSTRACT

A Substation receives electrical power from generating station via incoming transmission line and
delivers electrical power through feeders and this is used for controlling the power on different
routes. Substations are integral part of a power system and form important part of transmission and
distribution network of electrical power system.

Their main functions are to receive energy transmitted at high voltage from the generating stations,
reduce the voltage to a value appropriate for local distribution and provide facilities for switching
some sub-station are simply switching stations different connections between various transmission
lines are made, others are converting sub-stations which either convert AC into DC or vice-versa or
convert frequency from higher to lower or vice-versa.

The various circuits are joined together through these components to a bus-bar at substation.
Basically, Sub-station consists of power transformers, circuit breakers, relays, isolators, earthing
switches, current transformers, voltage transformers, synchronous condensers/ Capacitor banks etc.

This mini project covers the important equipments & their function in a Sub-Station. And also an
attempt is made to cover the general maintenance of Substation and Checks the observations to be
made by Shift Engineer. As a part of case study we are going to visit a 220/132Kv TRANSCO
substation in Moulali,HYD.
