Abstract
This chapter presents an overview of aspects of engineering associated with high-voltage substations, providing the reader with information on the use and application of substations, a description of the various primary, secondary and auxiliary components, and the planning and design of substations through to construction and commissioning. Substations are long-lived assets, and the chapter provides information on the management of substations throughout their life cycle. Information on future trends for substations is also included. Parts of this chapter refer to sections of the Springer Substations Greenbook published in 2018 [11.1].
