Detailed Solution

In hydropower stations, transformers are used to step up the generating voltage to a suitable transmission voltage.

A step-up is a type of substation that gets its power supply from a near-producing facility. It uses a large power transformer(a device that transfers electric energy from one alternating-current circuit to one or more other circuits, either increasing (stepping up) or reducing (stepping down) the voltage) to enhance the voltage level for transmitting to a remote location. Power transmission can be done by using a transmission bus to transmission lines.
