For decades, utilities have deployed distributed generation along distribution circuits primarily for single-circuit capacity support and voltage regulation. While these applications remain
Learn More
An electrical substation is a subsidiary station of an electricity generation, transmission and distribution system where voltage is transformed from high to low or the reverse using transformers.
Learn More
Each substation, whether existing or new, can have different configurations or equipment construction depending on what is needed, and to comply with regulations.
