Design of box-type substation for communication base station

What is a box-type substation shell?

Box-type substation shell with steel plate or alloy plate has double top cover with good insulation. Shell and skeleton are all through anti-corrosion treatment, with long-term outdoor conditions. Shape and color can be coordinated with the environment. It is easy to install.

What is a substation structure design guide?

The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) is currently developing a substation structure design guide that will discuss in greater detail various structure types, loading criteria, deflection criteria, methods of structure analysis and design, and structure connection to foundations.

What is a substation summary?

This summary provides basic information on substation requirements and design. The summary will be updated as the project progresses from initial design to in-service status. In its final form it will be, with supporting and reference documents, a complete record of the substation.

When should a substation designer use this publication?

It is recommended that, where other resources are referenced, such as those of ANSI, IEEE, RUS, and ASTM, the substation designer obtain and become familiar with the appropriate document. Use of this publication for substation design will usually result in an economical approach from a system standpoint.

What are substation design responsibilities?

The substation design responsibilities are broadly divided into primary and secondary systems. The primary systems are the high voltage, civil and structural and building elements. The secondary systems are the protection, communication and control, auxiliary supplies and the automation systems that integrate the operation of the substation.

What is a substation system?

These systems consist of a central host computer system at the energy control center, referred to as a master station, and RTUs located in the substations. There is a trend toward increasing intelligence at the substation level (see Chapter 14, Substation Automation) where the traditional RTU is being replaced with IEDs in a LAN arrangement.
