4. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
We would like to thank College of Engineering and Management, Kolaghat for giving us the
opportunity to use their resources and work in a challenging environment.
First and foremost we take this opportunity to express our deepest sense of gratitude to our
guide Prof. Shibaji Mondal for his able guidance during my protest work. This project would
not have been possible without his help and the valuable time he has given us amidst his busy
schedule. We would also like to extend our gratitude to our H.O.D Prof. Shobha Gupta and
Prof. Shankar Prasad Ghosh who have always encouraged and supported us in completing
our project. Last but not the least we would like to thank all the staff members of Department
of Electrical Engineering who have been very cooperative with us.

6. Substation is an intermediate station between generating station and consumer. The assembly
of apparatus which is used to change some characteristic (e.g. voltage, current, power factor,
frequency etc) of supply system is known as substation. Now a days electrical power is
generated, transmitted and distributed in the form of alternating quantity. The power stations
are actually far away from the consumers through installed within the load centre. It delivers
power to consumers through a large network. The assembly of apparatus (e.g. transformer,
isolator, fuse etc) is required to use for this purpose. It may be desirable to convert large
quantity of A.C. power to D.C. power for (special single phase A.C. case) traction system,
electroplating D.C. motor etc. It is clear that type of requirement needed in a substation will
depend upon the service requirement and different voltage levels.
In our technical project work we have decided to make a Model Active Substation under Prof.
Shivaji Mondal. The main motto of our project is to reduce the overall complexity of a
substation by using M.C.B (Miniature Circuit Breaker).
