The reactive power delivered by a generator increase when its excitation current is increase and vice versa. Dedicated modules are installed to perform these sharing, generally
Generating substations step up the voltage from the generator''s lower voltage to a higher voltage which is more suitable, and more economical for transmitting electric power
In a less simple way, substation is the key part of electrical generation, transmission, and distribution systems. Substation transforms voltage from high to low or from low to high as

There are three aspects to substations: Figure 1. Typical substation. Substation Types: Although, there are generally four types of substations there are substations that are a combination of
When planning power systems, many operators ask: "Does a generator set need a substation?" The answer isn''t a simple yes or no – it depends on your specific power requirements, voltage
The main role of an electrical substation is to help regulate and maintain voltage levels so that power grids can deliver energy efficiently. If there had not been enough electrical
Substation construction is a crucial component in the power distribution network, ensuring the efficient delivery of electricity from generating stations to residential and
There are three aspects to substations: Figure 1. Typical substation. Substation Types: Although, there are generally four types of substations
Distribution substations step down the voltage coming in from the transmission lines in order to begin the process of sending power to your home. A lot of work goes into planning new

Substations generally have switching, protection and control equipment, and transformers. In a large substation, circuit breakers are used to interrupt any short circuits or overload currents that may occur on the network. Smaller distribution stations may use recloser circuit breakers or fuses for protection of distribution circuits. Substations themselves do not usually have generators, although a power plant
Terminal voltage ratings for power plant generators depend on the size of the generators and their application. Generally, the larger the generator, the higher is the voltage. Generators for a
