Generator in substation

eTool : Electric Power Generation, Transmission, and Distribution

A step-up transmission substation receives electric power from a nearby generating facility and uses a large power transformer to increase the voltage for transmission to distant locations.

The Basics of Power Generation: Understanding

The turbine produces mechanical energy. The generator converts it into electrical energy. The substation adjusts the voltage and

Substation

Substations themselves do not usually have generators, although a power plant may have a substation nearby. Other devices such as capacitors, voltage regulators, and reactors may

Basics of Designing Power Substations

Generating substations step up the voltage from the generator''s lower voltage to a higher voltage which is more suitable, and more economical for transmitting electric power

Substation including generators and parallel operation of transformers

Only generators connected at MV level are considered in this chapter. When the installation needs a high level of power availability, one or several MV standby generator set

Distribution Substations

Electric power may flow through several substations between generating plant and consumer, and may be changed in voltage in several steps.

Fundamentals of Modern Electrical Substations

To better understand the importance of electrical substations, let''s start with a discussion about the structure of the power systems and their main components.

The basic things about substations you MUST know in the middle

Transmission substations integrate transmission lines into a network with multiple parallel interconnections, so that power can flow freely over long distances from any generator

Understanding Electrical Substations: Types and

To streamline and optimize the design and planning process of substations, modern tools like the Transcend Design Generator (TDG)

Large strings of insulators are used at substations and at other points along the power distribution system to isolate the current carrying conductors from their steel supports or any other ground mounted equipment. Insulators may be made of porcelain, rubber or a thermoplasticSee more on electrical-engineering-portal Occupational Safety and Health Administration

Electric Power Substations

Substations may be classified into one of several categories depending on their location and function within the system. Generator substations are located at the site of power generating
