Delafoil Substation - 138 kV Electrical Substation in the United States

Delafoil Substation is an operational electrical substation located in the United States, with coordinates 41.515008, -83.638640. The facility operates at a voltage level of 138 kV, which is typical for sub-transmission and distribution substations, serving to step down power for local distribution or interconnect transmission lines. The substation operates under the regulatory framework of the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), which enforce reliability standards for the bulk power system. As a 138 kV facility, it is part of the medium-voltage grid infrastructure that supports industrial, commercial, and residential loads in the region. The substation's location in the United States places it within a highly interconnected grid system. Its operational status ensures continued support for local electricity supply, contributing to grid resilience and the integration of distributed energy resources. The facility's role in the electrical infrastructure is essential for maintaining reliable power delivery to the surrounding area.

The substation is located in an area with a temperate climate, typical of the Midwestern United States. Its operation involves electromagnetic fields and potential impacts on local wildlife, though modern substations are designed to minimize ecological disruption. The facility's voltage level of 138 kV is moderate, and its urban or rural setting influences its environmental footprint, with rural substations often having larger buffer zones.
