Virtual substations, the driver for digitalised grids
By offering a model of a substation that can be combined into a higher model of the grid and being able to engineer what is needed in the substation first as part of the broader system, we will be able to derisk projects as one can start the testing immediately rather than having to wait for the physical system to be assembled.
Virtual substations, a key driver for digitalized grids
Digital modeling, aka digital twins, is also key, enabling much better planning, deployment, and operation at substation and grid levels. A virtual substation model can be combined into a larger grid model, which can be used to engineer and test upgrades and modifications without risking outages. It also allows testing to be started before the

Distinguishing between Grid and Distribution Substation
Secondary grid substation is a grid substation that receives power from the primary grid and transmits it to a connected grid or distribution substation. So, grid substations are usually rated at 230/132, 400/132, 400/230/132, 230/132/33 kV
What is an electricity substation? | National Grid Group
In fact, the national electricity grid comprises an extensive network of specialist equipment that allows for the safe and reliable transmission and distribution of electricity. Substations are integral features within that grid and enable electricity to be transmitted at different voltages, securely and reliably.

Grid-to-edge Synergy: Integrating the Dynamic Edge Into a Digital Network Global electricity demand is rising, necessitating the integration of renewable energy sources. However, this poses challenges to grid stability and load management. Digitalization of substations and the distribution system are vital to addressing these issues and extending grid
High-Voltage Electric Power Substation Configuration
components and flow of power through the substation along with a backup power supply to ensure the equipment continues to function after a loss of electricity. Three types of BPS substations exist: transmission, switching, and distribution.13 Transmission substations connect power plants to the BPS grid and convert low-voltage electricity to HV.
Designing Electrical Substations for a Modernized Energy Grid
Transmission substations are where circuits connect, creating a network for energy to flow at high voltages. Distribution substations are responsible for electricity distribution to the customers within electricity grids. These substations operate at a lower voltage compared to transmission substations, typically ranging from 12 kV to 34.5 kV.
