-
What makes substation equipment “modern”? -
Key hardware and software components -
Trends shaping the future of substations -
How leading suppliers like Degatech Electric are enabling this transformation
Defining Modern Substation Equipment
-
Electromechanical and electronic primary equipment (transformers, breakers, CTs/VTs) -
Digital secondary systems (relays, SCADA, communication networks, control software)
-
Receive, route, and transform electricity -
Protect equipment and personnel -
Monitor grid health in real time -
Enable two-way power flows and distributed generation
Core Hardware Components
1. Gas-Insulated Switchgear (GIS) & Vacuum Circuit Breakers
-
Compact, safe, and environmentally friendly -
Eliminate the need for bulky air-insulated designs
2. Power Transformers
-
Step voltage up or down with high efficiency and reliability
3. Disconnectors, Earthing Switches & Busbars
-
Ensure safe isolation and system configuration
4. Current & Voltage Transformers (CTs / VTs)
-
Provide critical inputs for measurement and protection
Core Software & Control Systems
1. Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs)
-
Combine protection, monitoring, and control in one device
2. SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition)
-
Enables remote monitoring and operation of substations
3. Digital Relays
-
Offer faster, more precise fault detection than traditional electromechanical relays
4. Communication Protocols (IEC 61850, DNP3, Modbus TCP)
-
Allow seamless data sharing between devices and control centers
