This study presents the process used to complete the conceptual design and
costing used to evaluate the multiple of alternatives that were considered to reach final
selection of the preferred project alternatives. In order to calculate and compare the
economics of the various route options, estimates were completed for each of the line
segments individually and then combined to form a route option estimate. Rather than
default to a common cost per mile assumption for the different voltages, the estimates
were built from the bottom up, starting with a conceptual design and incorporating the
appropriate unit costs. The major advantage of completing the estimates in this manner
is that they take the constraints identified through the mapping effort into account,
yielding estimates that more closely reflect the actual field conditions. A second
advantage is that as the project becomes more refined, the cost estimate can be easily
updated to reflect the latest information available. Conceptual design and costing was

INTRODUCTION
The human mind is so constructed that even a person was to read through books
such as from the content, he could retain only the information that had interest for him at
the time of reading. You might imagine that the designer or researcher would know
everything in it, and therefore have no need for it as reference or guide. But this is not
the case, the art of designing a substation can be acquired by reading books, referring
to an expert and well-trained electrical engineer and may be said that the purpose of
this design is not train, instead it is an aid to the students of electrical to know and
safety factors involved that tend to derive the final proof. This design treats the
information of substation. The result is here, the designer has such information in
simple, complete form in one place and it can be ready if needed. The safety standards,
rules and regulations imposed the Philippine Electrical Code (PEC) will be observed in
Recent studies have shown that the automation and proper designs of
imperative that substation ensures that their system is reliable in order to support the
operability of the grid and prevent unplanned outages. While this is a fact, it is also true
that environmental, structural and political factors are causing utilities to reconsider
power generation, transmission, delivery and security measures. The demand for power
is growing rapidly but financial responsibility and the fact that budgets are getting
consistently tighter and are more closely monitored creates the requirement for
companies to ensure that the technical and ideological solutions that are implemented
are cost-effective, reliable, secure and designed to be upgradeable to extend the life of

There are several critical decisions that must be made during the design of any
switchgear all of these must be considered to ensure that the substation is secure,
reliable, and cost-effective. Serving the Houston area, Gulf Coast, Texas and throughout
the United States, Saber Power Services has the engineers and experience to design
Included in the design of a substation is the single-line diagram which details the

municipalities in Metro Cebu has upgraded its northern town substation to meet the
growing demand for electricity in the northern part of its franchise area. In a statement,
Quennie Sanchez-Bronce, said its Consolacion substation that was inaugurated last
May 10, is expected to meet the demand for electricity brought about by growing
residential developments and the vigorous economy in the northern corridors of the
metro. The Consolacion substation was built in 1995 with an original 33 mega- volts
Modesto, said the largest utility firm in the Visayas sees "the need to improve,
and flexibility to better serve its customers in the municipalities of Consolacion and Lilo-
an. "Consolacion Mayor Teresa Alegado, in her speech during the Inauguration, thanked
VECO for keeping up with the demands of the municipality's growing economy. "We in
Consolacion consider VECO as a partner in growth and development and we are very
thankful that VECO readily answers the call of the times," Alegado said.

"In fact, VECO is several steps ahead. Seeing that Consolacion is growing
rapidly, you are also preparing your facilities to meet the demands," she said, noting that
the townsfolk "look forward to working with you more and we assure you that we will

The company started the rehabilitation works at the Consolacion substation in October
commissioning targeted by 2020. Rehabilitation and upgrading works for the Calamba
substation in this city into 66 MVA is ongoing and is expected to be completed this year.

encompasses all aspects of the grid, including increasing generation and transmission
integration, and a large substation build-out. Four years later, State Grid Corporation of

New transmission lines are a major focus for State Grid in the Construction
Phase, which is struggling to meet the growing energy demands of the rising middle
class in the East and South. Most coal, hydro, wind, and solar load sources are over
1,000 kilometers away from the populous east and south. High voltage (HV, under 300
kilovolts), extra-high voltage (EHV, 300 kilovolts to 765 kilovolts), and ultra-high voltage
(UHV, 765 kilovolts and up) lines are being installed currently, with at least one 1,000-
kilovolt UHV AC or DC line installed annually until 2015. Overall transmission line
investments for 2015 are approximately $269 billion, equivalent to the combined market
cap of ABB, GE, and Schneider Electric as of May 21, 2012. China is adding so much
new transmission capacity and so many power lines that it could build three quarters the
length of a new American transmission grid in just five years. When the dust settles,

As the System Operator of the Philippine power grid, NGCP balances the supply
and demand of electricity to efficiently serve all of its customers power generators,
dispatching the power plants and transmitting the generated power to the various
distribution utilities which, in turn, deliver the electricity at a lower voltage to households
and other end-users. NGCP also operates and maintains metering facilities and
provides technical services, particularly system studies, and operation and maintenance

The facility, which is sited in General Trias town, is a project concretized by the
country's biggest power utility firm in partnership with real estate developer Property
Company of Friends Inc. (PRO- FRIENDS). The property where the substation was
is installed within the Lancaster New City which has been designed to function even if
unmanned.
Meralco noted the facility is equipped with supervisory control and data
acquisition (SCADA) as well as devices and remotely controlled distribution feeders and
line reclosers. The utility firm emphasized that aside from addressing critical loading of
Cavite power transformers, "the new substation will also provide switching flexibility in
case of outages. "It further noted that such will "translate to fewer and shorter duration
industrial electricity end-users in the area. Aside from the mixed-use development at the
Lancaster New City, the new power substation will likewise cater to the needs of
locators within the Cavite Economic Zone. The Lancaster New City, in particular, is
