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.
