There are three types of grid. 1. Generation grid – where electricity is generated/produced and further transfer to transmission grid. 2. Transmission grid – where electricity is transfer to distribution grid. 3. Distribution grid – where electricity is distributed to areas ,industries, our house. Who have license for transmitting electricity? Central Transmission Utility(CTU): Power Grid Corporation of India Limited(PGCIL) State Transmission Utilities(STUs): Delhi Transco Limited(DTL) Distribution Companies(Discoms): BSES Yamuna Power Limited(BYPL) Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited (TPDDL) Points to know about Substation in Patparganj. We take electricity from generation unit and give it to distribution unit by stepping it down. Here, we convert 220kv and 400kv to 33kv and 66kv. The electricity which is generated by generation unit is of 11kv which is later stepped up and transfer to transmission grid. Here, again electricity is stepped up and then stepped down to further transfer to distribution grid. This substation is transmission grid. Equipment in Substations 1. Power Transformers 2. Current Transformers(CT) 3. Potential Transformers(PT) 4. Circuit Breaker 5. Isolator 6. Lighting Resistor 7. Overhead Conductors 8. Underground Cables 9. Protection Devices 1. Power Transformers It is a constant device that is used to transfer electric energy from one alternating current circuits to one or more other circuits either by stepping up (high) or stepping down (low) voltage. 2. Current Transformers A Current Transformer (CT) are designed to produce an alternating current in its secondary winding that is proportional to the current that it is measuring in its primary. It convert high unmeasurable current to low current to measure. It is measuring device as well as protection device. 3. Potential Transformers A potential transformer, also called a PT, is an instrument transformer used in power systems for voltage transformation. It converts higher voltage values to lower voltage values for measurement and protection purposes. 4. Circuit Breaker Circuit breaker is a type of high-voltage electrical switchgear device. It is used for protecting electrical power systems in normal and abnormal conditions. These circuit breakers are commonly employed in medium to high-voltage power transmission and distribution systems. It is connected in parallel. 5. Isolator Isolator is a manually operated mechanical switch operated in no load condition that isolates the faulty section of substation. It is used to separate faulty section for repair from a healthy section in order to avoid the occurrence of severe faults. 6. Lightning Arrestor A Lightning Arrester, Surge arrester or Line arrester is a device used on electrical power systems and telecommunications systems to protect the insulation and conductors of the system from the damaging effects of lightning. It is connected in parallel. Made up of semi-conductor materials like zinc oxide ZnO. There is two LA for extra safety one before grid and other before transformers(both sides). 7. Relay An over-voltage relay is commonly used to protect the inverters and transformers on a utility scale solar PV system. When the relay detects a spike in the voltage, it trips out the system, isolating it from the harmful effects of the high voltage present on the grid. AMR – Automatic Meter Relay mostly used nowadays attached with modem which consist sim for transferring reading to BSES.
