Substation Design

Substation Design

(OP)
Hi everybody,

Can anybody help me I am after the standards for Building a 22kv substation, web site or address will be fine. The stuff we have hanging around here is almost as old as the engineer.

Thanks

RE: Substation Design

IEEE Substation Standards Collection offers some light reading on this subject.  There was also another thread in this forum covering a similar topic that gave a link to the USDA Rural Utilities Service (RUS) Bulletin for substation design, among other references.  Do a search for substations in this forum and you can probably find the thread.

RE: Substation Design

You might try the Electrical Engineers Handbook, Thirteenth
or Fourteenth edition.

Redtrumpet is also correct about the REA (Rural Electrification
Association.....now part of the USDA......just do a search
at Google for REA).

RE: Substation Design

Some other possible references sources:

Some large utilities publish their own design standards - I've seen copies from San Diego Gas and Electric, Southern Cal Edison, BPA and WAPA.  A Google search would probably turn something up.  

Also, U.S government has a lot of design standards available for purchase.  Check with Naval Facilities Engineering Command and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

RE: Substation Design

If an A-CAD drawing showing the layout of an outdoor and also an indoor type 22 kV transformer sub-station is of any help, I can send it to you on e-mail.
Please confirm if you can open a .dwg file of size 300kb+

RE: Substation Design

DPC, I could not find any San Diego Gas & Electric or Southern
California Edison design standards via the internet.

Where can you obtain these standards?

RE: Substation Design

For SDG&E, I have an old Design Manual, so I don't know if they still actually produce them currently.

This old manual has a contact number:

Publications, 619 696-2703.

I can't find our SCE manual - I'm still looking.
