The work of conductors is to transfer power form one end to another end there are some metals which have high conductivity like gold and silver but they are very much expansive so it is impractical to use them in high power transmission, we have only two choice i.e. copper and aluminium out of this aluminium is mostly preferred because it is price competitive, high corrosion resistant, good conductivity, high corrosion resistant and light weight. there are many types of aluminum conductors available;
1) AAC - All Aluminium Conductor
2) AAAC - All Aluminium Alloy Conductor
3) ACSR - Aluminium Conductor Steel Reinforce
4) ACSS - Aluminium Conductor Steel Supported
5) ACCR - Aluminium Composit Core Reinforced
6) ACCC - Aluminium Carbon Composit Core

these above choices are used extensively are used form power transmission to distribution at many places, out of these solid and hollow aluminium conductors are used in substation bus for space management and to get better accessibility however solid and hollow conductors are use in low and medium size substation bus. when bus size is large aac conductor is used
