132KV GRID STATION:

GRID STATION:
Grid stations are the stations which convert high voltages to low voltages, mostly
known as Transmission Substations which connects two or more transmission
lines.
In Pakistan we have different grid stations:

132kv grid station

220kv grid station
500kv grid station

COMPONENTS OF GRID STATION (132KV SATELLITE TOWN

GRID STATION):

1.
2.

Control room
11kv control room
132kv control room
Relay panel
Yard

YARD:
Its a place where all the equipment like CTs, PTs circuit breakers, power
transformers, isolators, surge arresters, capacitor bank etc are installed.
Power transformers are very important because they are used to step up and step
down the voltages. in 132kv satellite town grid station we have 3 power
transformers

31.5/40MVA
20/26MVA
20/26MVA

And they give us 11kv as output.

CONTROL PANEL:
We have 2 control panels:

132kv control panel

11kv control panel

Here the incoming 132kv lines are supervised (in 132kv control room). CTs are
attached with each line which gives the all measurements about line current.

Similarly PTs are for voltages of lines. Circuit breakers are operated for
maintenance or in case of any fault.
Similarly we have 11kv control room. Here the incoming lines are 11kv power
cables. Then different loads are tapped and these tapped lines are outgoings.

Relay panel:
The most important panel is relay panel. In case of any fault these relays trip
and give indication. We have 2 relays:

Transformer relays
Line relays.

CTs and PTs give signal to relays in case of any fault. CTs and PTs have
connections with transformers and lines. At any fault they give pulses to relays and
then relays operate according to their functionality.

RELAYS ON TRANSFORMER:

Test block for relay

Differential protection relay
Test block for O/C and E/F relay
O/C and E/F relays
Tripping relay for differential relay
Tripping relay for oil temperature
Tripping relay for T/F buccholz
Tripping relay for O/C and E/F
Tripping relay for winding T/F
Tripping relay for T/F buccholz
Super vision relay for control circuit

Supervision relay for alarm circuit

LINE RELAYS:

Test block for O/C and E/F

O/C and E/F relay
Tripping relay for distance protection
Tripping relay O/C and E/F
Supervision relay for trip circuit-1
Supervision relay for trip circuit-2

These relays work on DC so for that we have Battery Room

The capacity of battery room of 132 KV grid station is 150A. We also have battery
charger.
These batteries provide

DC to relay
For emergency lighting

If voltage of battery drops below 70 V then relays cant work properly and they cant
trip in case of any fault because they do not get proper voltages.
