First hybrid transformer for more flexible grids | Open Innovability
A hybrid transformer installed in a secondary substation and developed with Hitachi combines advanced technologies for smarter and more flexible grids.
A hybrid substation combines traditional air-insulated switchgear (AIS) and compact gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) technologies. It optimizes space, reduces costs, and enhances reliability by using GIS components for critical areas while keeping AIS for less space-constrained parts. What is the difference between a substation and a power station?
Here's an overview of the different kinds of high-voltage substations and their main advantages. Siemens Energy high-voltage substations with air-insulated switchgear (AIS) are the cost-efficient choice for rated voltages of up to 800 kV. They are renowned for highest reliability, economical operation, and low maintenance requirements.
High voltage substations are facilities in the power grid that transform, control, and distribute electricity. They step up or step down voltage for efficient transmission and safe distribution, manage switching operations, protect the grid from faults, and ensure reliable power delivery to consumers. How does a high voltage substation work?
Space Efficiency: hybrid substations can significantly reduce the footprint compared to fully air-insulated designs. Reliability and Safety: Hybrid substations enhance reliability with GIS components, which are less susceptible to environmental conditions such as pollution and weather. This ensures better operational safety and fewer outages.
