As the word "substation" doesn't distinguish between those two: maybe
it is not a good choice for the tag? IMHO it feels like a step back
instead of progression. If you have a closer look you will find that
there are lots of different types for substations, e.g. transmission
substations, distribution substations, collector substations,
converter substations, switching substations, etc.
Voltage is just one possible criterion for their classification, there
are also different ones possible (as always).
