Abstract

Maintenance and operation of distribution substations are crucial factors in maintaining the proper performance of the electricity distribution system. Distribution substations play a crucial role in distributing electricity from the main substation to power users. Distribution substation maintenance involves a series of routine inspections, cleaning and replacing damaged components, routine testing and maintenance, and periodic condition monitoring of the distribution substation. Routine inspections are conducted to detect possible damage or wear on distribution substation components. Cleaning is performed to remove dirt and living plants that can interfere with the performance of the distribution system. Replacing damaged components or components that have exceeded their service life is crucial to maintain the proper functioning of distribution substation components. Routine testing and maintenance are conducted to ensure optimal performance of distribution substation components, and condition monitoring helps detect problems in the distribution system. Operation of distribution substations involves controlling the switching on and off of substations according to consumer demand. Prompt and efficient handling of disturbances is essential to restore power supply as quickly as possible. Periodic monitoring of network conditions and loads can help optimize power usage and prevent overloading.
