Abstract
Box-type substationsare the main direction for current rural power grid transformation and future substation construction, but there are still some shortcomings in certain aspects, specifically:
(1) Fire prevention issues: Box-type substations are generally fully sealed and operate without personnel on duty. Although all equipment operates without oil and is equipped with a remote smoke alarm system, there are still fire hazards inside the cabinet, such as cables and compensation capacitors. Once a fire occurs, it is conducive to ventilation and firefighting. Therefore, an automatic fire extinguishing system should be considered in the design, but this will increase the manufacturing cost of the box-type substation.
(2) Capacity expansion issues: Due to size and manufacturing cost limitations, the capacity expansion margin in the outgoing area of box-type substations is relatively small. It is difficult to add one or two outgoing intervals on the original box body; additional cabinets must be added to achieve this.
(3) Maintenance issues: Due to considerations of manufacturing costs and size limitations during the manufacturing process, box-type substations have limited maintenance space, which is not conducive to equipment maintenance, especially for emergency repairs. This is an inherent shortcoming of box-type substations and a difficult disadvantage to overcome.
In summary, looking to the future, box-type substations will be widely used in urban and rural areas, industrial and mining enterprises, and public buildings in our country. They will be increasingly used by more people due to their high quality and low price, elevating the operational level of our power grid to a new stage.
