Determining the appropriate time to consider using an overhead electrical substation (“subestacion electrica aerea” in Spanish) is a crucial decision for electrical engineers and energy planners, and several factors must be taken into account when making this assessment.
Overhead substations offer several advantages over their underground counterparts, including lower construction and maintenance costs, easier access for maintenance and repairs, and reduced environmental impact. However, they also have some disadvantages, such as their vulnerability to weather events and their potential impact on the visual landscape.
