6 FAQs about [Grid substation Syria]
What is a grid substation?
A grid substation is a place where two or more transmission lines are connected to deal with power in the power system. It is also referred to as a substation. The power system components of a grid include generation stations, switching circuits, transmission lines, distributed load connections, and distribution points.
How many power stations does Syria have?
AFP/GETTY IMAGES: ABD DOUMANY Syria was once one of the eastern Mediterranean's major power suppliers. It has 15 power stations, including three major hydroelectric dams. Each feed electricity into multiple substations that distribute power across the national grid.
Are Syria's industrial hubs a battleground?
They show that the areas where Syrians can turn lights on at night, power their daily lives and get access to life-saving medical equipment, have shrunk dramatically. The city of Aleppo was Syria’s powerhouse and home to over two million people. But the country's industrial hub became a battleground and remained so for more than four years.
How has War impacted Syria's electricity network?
Six years of war in Syria have had a devastating effect on millions of its people. One of the most catastrophic impacts has been on the country’s electricity network. Images from Nasa, obtained by BBC Arabic, show clearly how the lights have gone out during the course of the conflict, leaving people to survive with little to no power.
What happened to electricity in Aleppo?
As Syrian government forces besieged the city’s rebel-held eastern districts in 2016, a lack of electricity became a matter of life or death. Aleppo’s hospitals and emergency rescue teams had to rely on generators to save lives, and there were often shortages of fuel and spare parts.
When did Russian airstrikes start in Syria?
Russian airstrikes against Syrian rebels began in October 2015 and the timelapse shows the city in almost complete darkness at night throughout 2016, when the battle for Aleppo was at its peak.
