Design Considerations

  1. Location and Site Selection:

    • Proximity to load centers.
    • Accessibility for maintenance.
    • Environmental factors such as flood zones, seismic activity, and space availability.

  2. Electrical Design:

    • Voltage Level: Typically, MV substations operate at voltage levels between 1 kV and 36 kV.
    • Transformer Capacity: Based on load demand and future growth.
    • Short Circuit Rating: Ensure equipment can handle fault currents.
    • Load Flow Analysis: To optimize the placement and capacity of transformers and other components.

  3. Safety and Protection:

    • Adequate grounding and bonding.
    • Overcurrent and earth fault protection.
    • Lightning protection and surge arresters.
    • Fire protection systems.

  4. Control and Automation:

    • SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems for remote monitoring and control.
    • Intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) for automation.

  5. Environmental Considerations:

    • Noise and emissions control.
    • Heat dissipation and cooling systems.
    • Compliance with environmental regulations.

  6. Civil and Structural Design:

    • Foundations for transformers and switchgear.
    • Structural supports for busbars and overhead equipment.
    • Access roads and drainage systems.
