1 hr confidence: 
compost transformation centres, company transformation centres Explanation: I would translate it this way, the question is now to find out exactly what the company transforms to clarify that sentence a little more. |

peer agreement (net): +2customer substations / distribution substations Explanation: Having come across this question as I need to translate these terms for my own translation, this is what I have found: Tipos de Centros de Transformación, según su función. Centros de transformación de distribución y de abonado Se pueden distinguir dos tipos principales de centros de transformación en función de la utilización que se de a la energía transformada, los centros de distribución o compañía y los centros de abonado. Podemos definir el centro de transformación de distribución como aquel que está afecto al servicio de una empresa distribuidora, desde el que se suministra energía a diferentes clientes, no realizándose medida de energía en el mismo. El llamado centro de abonado se destina a un único consumidor, realizándose en el mismo la medida del consumo de energía, sea en media o baja tensión. En caso de tratarse de un centro de entrega de energía, pueden haber uno o varios transformadores separados del punto donde se realiza la medida, con esquema de maniobra y protección cada uno de ellos, pero sin medida individual, ya que esta se realiza en el punto de entrega. http://perso.wanadoo.es/hormilec/curso/tiposCTs.htm customer substation (′kəs·tə·mər ′səb′stā·shən) (electricity) A distribution substation located on the premises of a larger customer, such as a shopping center, commercial building, or industrial plant. http://www.answers.com/topic/customer-substation?cat=technol... Distribution substations are located near to the end-users. Distribution substation transformers change the transmission or subtransmission voltage to lower levels for use by end-users. Typical distribution voltages vary from 34,500Y/19,920 volts to 4,160Y/2400 volts. 34,500Y/19,920 volts is interpreted as a three-phase circuit with a grounded neutral source. This would have three high-voltage conductors or wires and one grounded neutral conductor, a total of four wires. The voltage between the three phase conductors or wires would be 34,500 volts and the voltage between one phase conductor and the neutral ground would be 19,920 volts. From here the power is distributed to industrial, commercial, and residential customers. http://www.osha.gov/SLTC/etools/electric_power/illustrated_g... In this case, I don't believe the word transformer is used. It is understood that these substations have transformers. Perhaps you could share what you used in the end...
