Why do we need to build a substation?

Index > Power Life > TaipowerTV > One Minute to Understand the Key Point

 

The substation is the power conversion station.

In addition to converting the voltage, the substation also distributes the load.

Most large-scale power plants are installed in remote areas.

The power transmission must first increase the voltage to reduce the loss of long-distance transmission, and then reduce the voltage step by step to provide different types of users.

The substation should be located in a place where electricity is used as much as possible in order to stabilize the power supply and avoid the voltage drop causing the electrical appliances in the people's homes to fail to operate normally.

In the past, because of the visual impact and fear of electromagnetic fields, the public held many objections to the construction of substations.

In addition to beautifying the exterior environment to integrate into the local landscape, the newly developed substation adopts multi-objective and indoor methods to increase the efficiency of public space use.

Taiwan Power Company will also regularly measure the electromagnetic field of the substation.

In addition to ensuring compliance with national regulations, the measured data will be updated on the Taiwan Power Company website and open for public inquiry.
