The topic of the diploma thesis is the refurbishment and reconstruction of a transformer substation within the distribution network of Elektro Ljubljana. As part of the reconstruction, the complete replacement of the substation equipment is planned, including the low-voltage switchgear, medium-voltage switchgear and transformer.
The thesis presents both the existing and the newly installed components, together with a description of their protective devices. It also includes drawings of the existing substation layout and the proposed new configuration.
In addition, the thesis provides a general overview of power system protection and describes the protective devices that are essential for the safe operation of the transformer substation and the reliable protection of the electrical power system both upstream and downstream of the substation. Finally, a short-circuit simulation of the electrical network is performed.
Based on the replacement of the equipment, it can be concluded that the new equipment provides higher reliability and a greater level of operational safety compared to the existing equipment.
