For Our Case studies, It was proved that All built Tests stations in Northern Africa have notably proven to be a good investment for Both Tunisian utility STEG ( 18 + 3 Energized & Monitoring Test Stations) & Algerian- GRTE and lastly GCCIA-KSA since they have allowed:
the Design & Operating of Both MV & HV Systems,
experiences of Different Types of Insulators in different polluted conditions,
Network,
