A substation is an assembly of apparatus, which transform the characteristics of electrical

energy from one form to another say from one voltage level to another level. Hence a
substation is an intermediate link between the generating station and the load units.

There are four bus bars in 132 KV yard and three bus-bars in 220KV yard. The incoming
feeders are connected to bus-bar through lighting arrestors, capacitive voltage transformer,
line isolator, circuit breakers current-transformers, Bus isolators etc. The bus-bars are to
have an arrangement of auxiliary bus.

In the 220KV GSS the income 220KV supply is stepped down to 132Kv with the help of
transformers which is furthers supplied to different sub-station according to the load.220Kv
G.S.S. has a large layout consisting of 2 Nos. of 160MVA transformers & 1 No. of 100MVA
transformer, with voltage ratio 220/132KV.There are many other equipments are also installed
in220 KV yards

At "GSS ALWAR" the separate control room switches and fuses. There are meters for reading
purpose. A circuit concerning the panel is shown on the panel with standard co lour. Provided
for remote protection of 220KV switch yards transformer incoming feeder, outing feeders. Bus
bar has their own control plant in their control rooms. The control panel carrier the
appropriate relays. Necessary meters indicating lamp control

The training at grid substation was very helpful. It has improved my theoretical concepts of
electrical power transmission and distribution. Protection of various apparatus was a great
thing. Maintenance of transformer, circuit breaker, isolator, insulator, bus bar etc was
observable. I had a chance to see the remote control of the equipments from control room
itself, which was very interesting.

INTRODUCTION

1.1 AN OVERVIEW OF R.V.P.N.

"Rajasthan R.S.E.B. working form 1 July, 1957. When India becomes independent its overall
installed capacity was hardly 1900 mw. During first year plan (1951-1956) this capacity was
only 2300 mw. The contribution of Rajasthan state was negligible during 1&2 year plans the
emphases was on industrialization for that end it was considered to make the system of the
country reliable. Therefore Rajasthan state electricity board came into existence in July 1957.

In 1957 R.V.P.N. is comes in to existence and it satisfactorily work from 1 july 1957 at that
time energy level in Rajasthan is very low. The 1st survey for energy capacity in Rajasthan is
held in 1989 at that time the total electric energy capacity of Rajasthan is 20116 MW. At that
time the main aim of R.V.P.N.is to supply electricity to entire Rajasthan in the most economical
way.

and the R.V.P.N. comes under northan zone. During the 1st survey there are few GSS in
Rajasthan and the Alwar GSS is one of them. The Alwar GSS is 2km away from the Railway
station Alwar and located near the Govt. polytechnic college Alwar.

The aim of RVPN is to supply electricity to entire Rajasthan state in the most economical way.

Government of Rajasthan on 19th July 2000, issued a gazette notification unbundling Rajya
Vidyut Prasaran Nigam into Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Ltd (RRVUNL), the
generation Company; Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Prasaran Nigam Ltd, (RRVPNL), the transmission
Company and the three regional distribution companies namely Jaipur Vidyut Vitran Nigam Ltd,
(JVVNL) Ajmer Vidyut Vitran Nigam Ltd (AVVNL) and Jodhpur Vidyut Vitran Nigam Ltd (JVVNL).

The Generation Company owns and operates the thermal power stations at Kota and
Suratgarh, Gas based power station at Ramgarh, Hydel power station at Mahi and mini hydel
stations in the State The Transmission Company operates all the 400KV, 220 KV, 132 KV and
66KV electricity lines and system in the State.The three distribution Companies operate and
maintain the electricity system below 66KV in the State in their respective areas.

Rajasthan State Electricity Board has been divided in five main parts are:-

-> Electricity production authority- RKVUNL

-> Electricity transmission authority - RRVPNL

-> Distribution authority for Jaipur - JVVNL

-> Distribution authority for Jodhpur -JVVNL

-> Distribution authority for Ajmer - AVVNL

Power obtain from these stations is transmitted all over Rajasthan with the help of grid
stations. Depending on the purpose, substations may be classified as :-

1. Step up substation

2. Primary grid substation

3. Secondary substation

4. Distribution substation

5. Bulky supply and industrial substation

6. Mining substation

7. Mobile substation

8. Cinematograph substatio

Depending on constructional feature substation are classified as :-

1. Outdoor type

2. Indoor type

3. Basement or Underground type

4. Pole mounting open or kilos type
