INTRODUCTION
THE ELECTRIC SUB STATION
08/12/21
The present electrical power system is a
complex interconnection of Generating
stations-Transmission systems-
Receiving stations- Distribution systems
and Load points.
In all the above phases of power flow, the
transfer of electrical energy takes place in
the electric sub stations.

INTRODUCTION
THE ELECTRIC SUB STATION
08/12/21
Basically an electrical sub station consists
of a number of incoming circuits and out
going circuits connected to common bus
bar systems.

INTRODUCTION
THE ELECTRIC SUB STATION
Each circuit connected to the bus bar will have
08/12/21
certain electrical component such as circuit
breakers, isolators, earth switches, current
transformers and voltage transformers.

INTRODUCTION
THE ELECTRIC SUB STATION
A sub station receives electrical power from
08/12/21
generating station through incoming
transmission lines and delivers electrical
power through the out going transmission
lines.
Sub station is an integral part of a power
system and is an important link between
the generating stations, transmission
systems, distribution systems and load
points. 5

THE ELECTRIC SUB STATION
DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
08/12/21
The sub station is designed with an
objective to provide maximum
reliability, flexibility, continuity of
service and to meet these objectives
with the lowest investment costs that
satisfy system requirement.

THECONSIDERATIONS
ELECTRIC SUB STATION
08/12/21
System requirements include the selection of
optimum voltage levels depending on the load
requirements and the transmission distances
involved. Generally, the generating source will be
far away from the load centers. The advantage of
capitalizing on low site costs, availability of ample
cooling water supply, economical fuel supply and
less stringent environmental considerations
compel construction of generating source far away
from load centers, there by, increasing
transmission distances.

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
THE ELECTRIC SUB STATION
08/12/21
Hence, to transmit power over long distances the
transmission voltage is to be increased and in our
country 400 kV is becoming common and higher
voltages for transmission is being explored. Many
factors such as voltage level, load capacity, site space
limitations, transmission line right of way requirement
and environmental considerations influence the design
of sub stations.

BUS LAYOUT AND SWITCHING ARRANGEMENT
Since the major sub station costs are reflected in the power
transformers, circuit breakers and disconnecting switches,
the bus layout and switching arrangement selected will
determine the number of switches and power circuit breakers
required.

SUB STATION LAYOUT AND BUS BAR SCHEMES
THE ELECTRIC SUB STATION
The term layout denotes the physical
08/12/21
arrangement of various components in the
sub station relative to one another. The
layout is significant as it influences the
operation, maintenance, cost and
protection of the sub station. These
aspects are considered while designing
the sub station layout.

lines, transformers, etc., the sub station can be
designed in several alternative ways.

The choice of bus bar schemes for ac yards
depend upon several factors mentioned above.
The important bus bar schemes are:
Single bus bar
Double bus bar with one breaker per circuit
Double bus bar with two breaker per circuit
Main and transfer bus
Ring bus or Mesh scheme
Breaker and a half(1 1/2 breaker) arrangement 14

DOUBLE BUS BAR WITH ONE BREAKER PER CIRCUIT
This arrangement has the following advantages:
Each load may be fed from either bus.
Operational flexibility may be increased by grouping the
incoming and out going feeders in separate groups.
Either bus bar can be taken out for maintenance.
Bus coupler helps in ‘on load change over ‘from one bus to
the other.
Adopted where load and continuity justify additional cost.
A major disadvantage is that the breaker can not be taken out
for maintenance without interrupting supply to the concerned
circuit.

CIRCUIT

Bus protection scheme may cause loss of sub
station when it operates if all circuits are
connected to that bus.
High exposure to bus faults.
Line breaker failure takes all circuits connected
to that bus out of service.
Bus tie breaker failure takes the entire sub
station out of service.

MAIN AND TRANSFER BUS
THE ELECTRIC SUB STATION
This is an alternative to double bus single
08/12/21
breaker arrangement which provided for change
over to either bus for carrying out maintenance
on other bus. But it provided no facility for
breaker maintenance without interrupting power
supply to the concerned circuit.
The main and transfer bus works the other way
round.
This arrangement provides facility for carrying
out breaker maintenance but does not permit
bus maintenance. 25

MAIN AND TRANSFER BUS
The cost is increased due to use of an extra isolator for each circuit and
providing interlock for bus coupler and circuit isolators.
Relaying sensitivity decreases as the same bus coupler is used to energize the
concerned circuit for all the circuit breakers whenever they are taken out for
maintenance.
Failure of bus or any circuit breaker results in shut down of entire sub station. 26

BUS BAR ARRANGEMENTS
• Double Bus Bar Arrangement with Transfer
Bus.
This arrangement provides more additional
flexibility, continuity of Power Supply,
permits periodic maintenance without total
shut down as the two main buses can be
operated independently with the same
redundancy.

• The breaker-and-a-half arrangement is more
expensive than other schemes, except the
double-breaker-double-bus scheme.
• However, the breaker-and-a-half scheme is
superior in flexibility, reliability, and safety.
• Protective relaying and automatic re-closing
schemes are more complex than for other
schemes and hence costly.
