Remote Area Power Stations

Remote Area Substation
Remote area power stations are a combination of generator systems and substations. The stations are usually island operations, but may be capable of parallel operation with either the grid or another island station. The stations are often the sole source of power for the connected load, such as a town, mine or commercial / industrial facility. Therefore the load is dependent on the remote area power station for the reliable availability of power.
The remote area power station may be either privately owned or owned by a utility.
A power station substation is often included in the power station, or may be associated with the power station but in a remote location. The distribution from the power station substation is usually at medium voltage, because the load is in reasonable proximity to the power station.
Power stations are an integrated unit of electrical assemblies, for the switching, transformation and protection of electrical network.
The detailed design of a remote area power station requires skills in several areas, including generator controls, substations, switchgear assemblies, cable installation systems, system automation, package interfacing and electrical drafting.
BESST can provide detailed electrical and control system design assistance in the development of the detailed design of a remote area power station.
