By incorporating battery storage, substations can ensure a continuous and reliable power supply, even during emergencies. Maintenance programs must be expanded to include electrical substation maintenance routines specific to energy storage interfaces. Visit our Substation Maintenance training course.
An electrical substation is an electrical system with high-voltage capacity and is used to control apparatus, generators, and electrical circuits. It is mainly used to convert AC (alternating current) to DC (direct current). Some substations are small in size and have an inbuilt transformer as well as related switches.
Electricity substations play a role in both stepping up the voltage of electricity for distribution on grid and in transforming it into lower voltages for delivery to end consumers. The Kawerau substation is one of 13 substations within the Bay of Plenty (BOP) region and is interconnected to the grid through both the 110 kV and 220 kV networks .
Substation equipment maintenance refers to several essential processes. The first is power station cleaning, where all critical equipment should be kept clean. The interior of buildings should be spotless as well, and the grounds should be neat. All fences should be in prime condition to deter intruders.
