Design Development and Simulation of Mobile Substation for Distribution Network

With the increase in population, the growing demand for energy in urban areas is compelling the utilities to expand their supply network. Higher levels of demand for power must be met at short notice and physical space available used to an optimum. One solution to such cases is a mobile substation. This does away with costly construction work and if necessary, the substation can move location in container, together with its foundation which includes switchgear as an assembly of equipment, transformer and control panel cabin. When mobile substation is used to restore electrical service, it function as part of the permanent grid system. The purpose of this thesis is to evaluate the Design parameters for Mobile and/or Compact Substation for different Applications and identify the situations needing the mobile and/or compact substation.
