JB Substation Design

Sectors

Where substation design capability is needed.

The engineering discipline is the same across all of them. What changes is the commercial pressure, the standards being worked to, and who is reviewing the output.

Who this suits

Six kinds of client, one specialism.

Particularly suited to clients who need specialist substation design capability without employing or maintaining that capability in-house.

01

Independent Connection Providers

Specialist substation design capability available per project, without carrying it as permanent overhead. Design produced to the adopting operator’s standards from the start.

02

Renewable energy developers

Grid connection substations for solar and wind schemes — from the concept arrangement that supports a connection application through to the detailed design.

03

Battery storage developers

Connection and switching substations for storage sites, including the primary arrangement, protection and control scheming, and the cable design between them.

04

Engineering consultancies

Specialist substation design capacity that slots into a wider project team — working to your templates, your numbering and your review process.

05

Developers

On-site and private substations forming part of a wider development, designed and coordinated alongside the rest of the scheme rather than bolted on afterwards.

06

Utilities & network clients

Design produced to network operator standards, with the documentation and traceability their approval process requires.

Voltage range

11kV to 400kV.

Distribution through to transmission, with the design approach adjusted to the scrutiny each level attracts.

11kV

Distribution substations, switchrooms, customer connections

33kV

Primary substations, switching stations, generation connections

66kV

Bulk supply points, collector substations

132kV

Grid supply points, transformer compounds, AIS and GIS bays

275 – 400kV

Transmission substations and connection infrastructure
