How to Achieve a Rapid Deployment of Mobile Substations and to Guarantee Its Integrity During Transport

A mobile substation is a fully equipped electrical substation mounted on a semitrailer. The substation components are ideally mounted in their operational position on the semitrailer. The equipment must be fixed considering the space limitation, insulation distances and not only static but dynamic loads due to transport. The equipment must be fitted in a way to allow a fast installation requiring minimum work. This paper describes the application of mobile substations, it discusses their specific technical considerations at the design stage, and it presents experimental and analytical results of the vibration of the equipment during transport motion.
