Where Are Prefabricated Substations Mainly Used?

Prefabricated substation, also known as box-type substation, is a vital component of the power system. It represents an innovative name and form in the field of power distribution equipment. This type of equipment integrates high-voltage switchgear and distribution transformers, and is pre-assembled in the factory into an integrated indoor or outdoor compact distribution device according to a specific wiring scheme.

Prefabricated substations are usually installed in steel structure boxes with moisture-proof, rust-proof, dust-proof and rodent-proof functions. These boxes are designed to be easy to move and deploy. In terms of application fields, prefabricated substations have a wide range of applicability, especially in the construction and renovation projects of urban power grids. It has become an emerging and efficient substation form after traditional civil substations. Whether it is mines, factories and enterprises, oil and gas fields, or wind power stations, prefabricated substations play an indispensable role and frequently appear in various key power supply nodes.

With the emergence of prefabricated substations, traditional civil distribution rooms and distribution stations have gradually been replaced. This new type of distribution device has won wide recognition for its unique advantages. The rapid development of social economy and the accelerated advancement of urbanization have led to a continuous increase in power load demand, while urban land resources are becoming increasingly scarce. In this context, the challenges faced by substations built by civil engineering have become increasingly significant, and prefabricated substations have emerged to provide a new approach to solving these problems.

From the perspective of both design and construction, prefabricated substations have brought significant workload optimization. Its modular and prefabricated features not only shorten the construction period, but also improve engineering efficiency and quality. In view of the current development trend, prefabricated substations will continue to maintain their good development momentum in the future and become an indispensable part of the power system.
