Abstract

Ultrahigh-voltage (UHV) and offshore substations are fast-becoming mature applications, but there is a big difference between substation technologies. UHV technology has a relatively long history, and offshore substation technology meets the necessity of recent sustainable electricity supply and the application of the cutting-edge substations. In this part, UHV substations are described in Chap. 28 and offshore substations are described in Chap. 29.
