ABSTRACT

SUBSTATION DESIGN AND MAINTAINENCE

The present day electrical power system is A.C i.e electric power is generated, transmitted and distributed in the form of alternating current. The Electric power is produced at the power station which are located at favourable place, generally quite away from the consumers. It is delivered to the customers and consumers through a large network of transmission and distribution. At many places in the line of the power system, it may be desirable and necessary to change some characteristics such as Voltage (A.C to D.C), frequency, power factor etc. of Electric power. This is accomplished by suitable apparatus called SUBSTATION. For example generation Voltage (11 KV or 6.6 KV) at power station is stepped up to high Voltage (about 220KV or 132KV) for transmission of electric power. Similarly near the consumer localities, the voltage may be have to stepped down to utilization level. This Job is again accomplished by suitable apparatus called substation. The Assembly of Apparatus used to change some characteristics (eg: Voltage, Frequency, Power factor) of electric supply called a Substation. A SUBSTATION must serve the following three purposes: 1) It should be located at proper site. 2) It should provide safety and reliable arrangement. For safety, considerations must be given to the maintenance of regulations clearances, facilities for carrying out repairs and maintenance. 3) It should be easily operated and maintained 4) It should involve minimum capital cost The majority of the substations in the power systems are concerned with changing of the voltage level of electric supply. These are known as transformer substation because the transformer is the main is the main component employed to change the voltage level. Depending upon the purpose served, the transformer substations may be classified into Step UP or Step Down, Primary Grid or Secondary Grid, Distribution Substations.

This Mini Project Deals with the study of Design Of an GRID SECONDARY SUBSTATION, Consisting Of electrical equipments of Electrical Equipment like Incoming and outgoing breakers, transformer with protections, LT Distribution panel, DG Set, UPS, Earthing, Lightning Protection, Internal wiring of the substation. The Substation has been designed with latest applicable Standards & Bureau of INDIAN STANDARDS. And all the electrical installations have complied with requirements of the following rules/codes: -Indian electricity rules -National electric code published by BIS. -All relevant IS codes of practice. -Ambient air temperature shall be taken as 45 deg C for the electrical equipment PROJECT GUIDE Ms. NAGA LAKSHMI B.Tech Assistant Professor TEAM MEMBERS T.SOWMYA SREE (09JN1A0211) S.KOMALI CHANDRIKA (09JN1A0209) S.L.TULASI (09JN1A0223) D.MANGA DEVI (09JN1A0225)
