The “Solid State Power Substation Technology Roadmap” envisions a future where this technology is mature, reliable, secure, and cost-effective; broadly used across the grid in a variety of substation applications; and an integral part of the future electric power system.
Abstract— The main purpose of the substation is to provide reliable and continuous electric power supply for consumers connected to the distributive network. When a fault in the distributive network occurs, it is necessary to interrupt the power supply until the fault is removed.
A solid state power substation (SSPS), defined as a substation or “grid node” with the strategic integration of high-voltage power electronic converters, can provide system benefits and support the evolution of the grid.
During the construction phase of the substation project, the focus is on assessing mitigation measures for noise, vibration, water quality, dust, air quality, and public safety. This is accomplished through visual assessment by the management and feedback from other stakeholders.
The development of advanced substation technologies that enable new functionalities, new topologies, and enhanced control of power flow and voltage can increase the grid's reliability, resilience, efficiency, flexibility, and security.
The substation project is predicted to have no significant impacts due to the characteristics of the soils and geology of the area, and the construction methods proposed. Efficient drainage and sand filling of excavated areas will be used to avoid erosion and flood.
