What means "Bay" in high voltage substations? (I don't know if its dictation is true or not)

A "bay" is usually the space prepare for the installation of equipment. Therefore in a substation the concrete pad prepared for the sitting of the transformer is know as the transformer bay.

I'd consider it to be one of several blocks of similar equipment. Suppose that you have a substation, with two big step-down transformers, preceded and followed by switches, circuit breakers, voltage-measuring transformers, current-measuring transformers, and the like. Each transformer will have its own set of this paraphernalia, so each one could be called a bay.
But I'm not a power systems engineer, so I could be wrong on this.
