Reasonable site selection of box-type substations should take into account the location of the load center

When selecting a box-type substation, the location of the load center should be fully considered. When conducting load analysis, future electricity demand trends can be predicted by collecting and analyzing historical electricity consumption data, population density, economic activity level and other factors. This prediction helps determine the capacity and technical specifications of the substation to meet future demand growth. In addition, the distribution of load centers may also change with urban development, so the long-term perspective of urban expansion and planning should also be considered when selecting a site to ensure that the box-type substation can adapt to future power demand.
Reasonable site selection should also take into account the connection between the substation and the power grid. Substations usually need to be closely connected to high-voltage transmission lines and distribution networks, so the distance from these infrastructures should be considered when selecting a site. Ideally, the box-type substation can be located near the intersection of transmission lines, which can not only reduce construction and maintenance costs, but also improve the reliability of power transmission. Avoiding excessively long transmission lines can reduce power loss and improve system efficiency.
In cities, environmental and social factors cannot be ignored. The site selection of substations needs to comply with relevant environmental regulations and avoid being located in environmentally sensitive areas, such as water source protection areas and ecologically sensitive areas. In addition, the relationship with the surrounding community is also an important consideration. Reasonable site selection should reduce the impact on residents' lives and reduce potential problems such as noise and electromagnetic radiation. An environmental impact assessment should be conducted before construction, and full communication should be conducted with local residents and stakeholders to gain social recognition and support.
