Substation is the place (in transmission of power with overhead/underground cable) where the voltage level may be increased or decreased. That voltage level is so high that any personnel on its own cannot check/handle it by meters physically. Also the load on the system is never constant so there are fluctuations (ups/downs) in all the parameters of the electricity, like voltage, current, power factor (reactive and active power), frequency etc. So to calculate/estimate those things continuously with the time we need to implement separate monitors for them. This also implies that if any unacceptable change is observed in the power system, it should be immediately solved and continuity of power should be kept. That is the reason we go for control panels in substation.
Now in control panels there are all the those things which are required for the measurement of voltage, current total power, frequency, power factor. These are measured at all time of the day. If any fault is observed in the measured readings, then it is cleared immediately, and if it is not able to clear it itself, then the personnel on the substation can clear it by switching off the certain power line through circuit breakers. CBs, relays, CTs, PTs, APFC all are incorporated in control panels.
If still you are not clear with what is mentioned above, please feel free to ask me on dishant22@hotmail.com

What is SCADA systems?
SCADA system is abbreviation of (supervisory control and data acquiescent) which make the control on the (power generation,substation, refinery) the control consist of data readout and central control on the mentioned area
Type of transformers used in gas insulated substation?
Current transformer and voltage transformer . This transformers are actually measuring instruments which measures the quantity of current and voltage coming out of the substation.
What should be the minimum recommended value of power factor of a substation?
A substation is not a load but is a place where switching and voltage-level changing takes place. Accordingly, you cannot apply a 'power factor' to a substation.
What does a primary substation do?
Primary substation - when the transformer is HV/MV or MV/MV. e.g. substation designed for 132kV/33kV or 230kV/22kV or 33kV/11kV etc stepped down for MV distribution (mainly for utilities and heacy industries) Secondary substation - when the transformer is HV/LV or MV/LV. e.g. substation designed for 11kV/400V or 6.6kV/400V etc stepped down for LV distribution (mainly for residential, commercial) sometime referred to as a kiosk substation.

What is a mini-substation?
A substation that is smaller than the average substation. A substation converts electric power from one voltage to another.
What is pooling substation?

Why load shedding panels are used in substation?
If you have many Gas turbine Generators working on parallel, if any fault happened in one generator ( so this generator is no longer feeding the load ) load shedding panels will disconnect a group of predetermined Less important loads to help the working generators in the additional load (which may come after fault of the mentioned generator ).
What is SCADA systems?
