That's the best possible reason for a unique substation tag. You have
power=sub_station + substation:type=switching;converter;collector +
substation:structure=pole;tower;house...

That way unrelated renderers only look at the power=sub_station tag, and
don't bother about all the different substation types that exist (or will
exist).
