765-kV Station Design

The engineering and design features of the 765-kV substations that will be placed in service in early 1969 on the American Electric Power system are discussed. The electrical and physical details of the stations are reviewed in detail, and major factors in equipment selection are discussed. An analysis of this paper plus the companion papers on 765-kV station insulation coordination and relaying will yield a reasonably complete understanding of the engineering and design thinking which is part of the station designs.
