switching station is intermediate station between two other substations or between substation at load end and generating station. at switching station incoming power line and out going powerlines have same level of voltage it means there is no transformer to step down the voltage to connect the load. switching stations are created just for purpose of controlling important parameters in power system and control of voltage rise due to capacitive effect or voltage drop due to reactive effect or both .

What do you mean by package substation?

Prefabricated power distribution substation Its basically a whole 11kv substation but in one unit.

What does a primary substation do?

Primary substation - when the transformer is HV/MV or MV/MV. e.g. substation designed for 132kV/33kV or 230kV/22kV or 33kV/11kV etc stepped down for MV distribution (mainly for utilities and heacy industries) Secondary substation - when the transformer is HV/LV or MV/LV. e.g. substation designed for 11kV/400V or 6.6kV/400V etc stepped down for LV distribution (mainly for residential, commercial) sometime referred to as a kiosk substation.
