The technical characteristics of substations are concentrated in four key dimensions: power processing, safety protection, intelligent regulation, and environmental adaptation. Transformers achieve precise voltage conversion from high to low voltage, while circuit breakers, relays, and other equipment enable control over power circuit switching and demand-based load distribution.

Substations serve as pivotal components within power systems, their applications spanning diverse scenarios across societal production and daily life. Within residential communities, they step down high-voltage electricity before distributing it to individual households, ensuring fundamental power for daily lighting and household appliances. Commercial complexes—such as shopping centres and office buildings—rely on them to provide stable electricity for air conditioning, lifts, and shop equipment, while accommodating fluctuations in peak-period load demands. Within industrial zones (such as manufacturing workshops and heavy industrial bases), substations must satisfy the high-power demands of large-scale production equipment while ensuring continuous production line operation through precise power distribution. In the transport sector, they supply electricity to motorway service areas, rail transit stations, and port terminals, guaranteeing the normal functioning of transport hubs.
