Switching and Converter Substations
This article explores the various functions of switching and converter substations, including network reconfiguration, fault isolation, and AC/DC power conversion.
With UPS installations in plants and substations, you can guard against downtime throughout your entire infrastructure. Avoid the irony of a power plant without power with uninterruptible power supplies to ensure the continuity of the utility's supply and minimize disruptions.
An electrical substation is a type of installation that performs several critical functions in the power grid. These functions include transforming voltage from high to low, or vice versa, and controlling the flow of electrical power.
An Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). And oftentimes not only a single generator and UPS, but multiple layers of redundant infrastructure. What is a UPS? A UPS is a device that detects a disturbance in the normal power source and automatically supplements the loss of power with the energy stored in the system.
Within the UPS systems, there are two general types of Uninterruptible Power Supplies: Static and Rotary. A Static UPS is a power electronic-based system that typically leverages batteries as a means to store energy. A Static UPS converts typical AC distribution voltages first from AC to DC (rectifying), and then from DC back to AC (inverting).
