Abstract:
A substation is an electrical system with a high voltage capacity that is used for the
control of electrical circuits, generators, and other pieces of equipment. Utilization of
substations may assist in lowering the high voltage of the electrical power that is being
transported. Substation maintenance is the process of periodic, planned inspection,
repair, and replacement of all switchgear, buildings, and ancillary equipment in
substation installations. A substation's planned maintenance has many benefits; it can
save money and prevent equipment wear and tear. Modern power systems are very
complex in nature and produce transients during various operations. Backup protection
units can be used to solve the problem when a protection device happens to fail. SABP
can increase the range of information sharing in a substation area and help to improve
the overall performance of the protection system.
Key Words: Electrical System, Substation, Protection, Maintenance, High Voltage.
