Design of High-Voltage Substations

The expansion of electric usage in all types of industrial facilities has caused an increased demand for high-voltage substations owned and located on the industrial property. This paper reviews the problems encountered in the design of these substations and provides a basis for the engineering work necessary to solve them. Specific sections deal with the 1-line diagram, protective relay systems, lightning protection, circuit breakers, transformers, systems, lightning protection, circuit breakers, transformers, switches, and bus design. An example of a typical station is provided and references are included for the details necessary to solve the problems in various special areas.
