This document provides an overview of grid substations. It discusses how substations receive power from generating stations and transmission lines and transform voltages to suitable levels for distribution. It also describes the key components of substations, including transformers, circuit breakers, and earthing systems. Classification of substations by voltage level and indoor/outdoor design is covered. The purpose and components of transmission lines, including conductors, insulators, towers, and earth wires, are summarized as well.
