Summary of How Do Substations Work?
The video explains the complex process of electricity generation, transmission, and distribution.
- substations play a crucial role in connecting different parts of the electrical grid and ensuring reliability.
- substations serve various roles, including switching, protection against faults, load shedding, and voltage regulation.
- transformers are used in substations to step up or step down voltage levels.
- Equipment such as instrument transformers and regulators are used for monitoring and controlling power flow.
- Safety measures in substations include insulators, bushings, grounding grids, and fences to protect workers and equipment.
- substations are customized to meet the specific needs of the infrastructure they serve.
- As the grid evolves with renewable energy sources and changing demand patterns, substations will continue to play a critical role in managing and protecting the power grid.
