Abstract :
This paper presents a new architecture of distribution substation allowing the reduction of global cost and size of substation. Moreover, safety and reliability are improved. The substation is designed as a global product (turnkey solution). The main innovations are the new types of medium voltage (MV) and low voltage (LV) connections, and the transformer with integrated protection and switching.
