Abstract :
Over the last 30 and 40 years the Transformer Substations (TS) have had a great evolution, progressing from classic assembly in open bays, partition walls and outdoors, to the existing model, in order to increase the human safety and material reliability as well as the assembly and space reduction. New outcomes such as metallic bays, prefab buildings, compact transformer substations and eventually pad-mounted substations are also revolutionary. Given the increasing concern of society about environment, the industry in general is reconsidering both the design and the materials that may mean contamination, trying as much as possible to replace them for environment friendly ones. The inevitable society advance should not and must not cast out the Earth´s future. It is time for a sustainable development. Therefore our work here today is a contribution in this sense.
