Substation design calculation 1

[Taher12]

HI I am very new to distribution systems and would like to know how to design substations. Could you please advise how best this could be achieved? Any recommendation of good manuals/guides?

Thank you all

Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but its worth looking at imo:

If you expand a little on the type of substations you're interested in we might be able to help more. The requirements for an LV distribution sub are worlds apart from a major transmission substation.

Have a look at faq238-1287.

Thank you all, I am very new to substation design and need a guide that can give me an overview of all the available substation types and the design calculation involved in each type .

There isn't really a a single 'right' way to build a substation - factors such as voltage, available space, and operating environment will all play a part. Most utilities will have in-house standards developed over many years of operating experience which define 'the way we do things' for that company; there may be limited scope for doing things differently to the tried and tested designs.
