1. INTRODUCTION
The word substation comes from the days before the distribution system became a grid.
As central generation stations became larger, smaller generating plants were converted
to distribution stations, receiving their energy supply from a larger plant instead of using
their own generators. The first substations were connected to only one power station,
where the generators were housed, and were subsidiaries of that power station

2. SUBSTATION
A substation is a part of an electrical generation, transmission, and distribution system.
Substations[3] transform voltage from high to low, or the reverse, or perform any of several
other important functions. Between the generating station and consumer, electric power may
flow through several substations at different voltage levels.

Sometimes they are also transmission substations or collector substations if the railway
network also operates its own grid and generators.

3.17.STATION BATTERIES
Batteries are supply the direct current to the relays for control purpose, as well as store the
energy so use for the when there is no power in the substation it means that all the system is
open or any fault condition. These are connected in series to increase the voltage level.
3.18.ANOTHER APPARATUS
Protection system
To provide alarm or automatic tripping of faulty part from healthy part and also to
minimize damage to faulty equipment and associated system
Control cable
It provide supply to various auxiliary equipment’s and machines.
Auxiliary standby power system
For supplying starting power, standby power for auxiliaries.
Firefighting system
To sense the occurrence of fire by sensors and to initiate water spray, to disconnect power
supply to affected region to pin point location of fire by indication in control room.

CONCLUSION
The objective of the devices(system) in substation is to keep the power system stable by isolating
only the components that are under fault, while leaving as much of the network as possible. There is no
‘fault free’ system. It is neither practical nor economical to build a ‘fault free’ system. Usually faults are
caused by breakdown of insulation due to various reasons: Short Circuit, High Voltage, system
aging, lighting, etc
