한전은 지속적으로 지중화사업을 시행하여 현재 서울은 약 55%, 전국적으로는 약 15.5%의 지중화율을 기록하고 있다. 지중배전의 경우 가공에 비해 동일루트에 다회선이 설치가 가능하며 외부 기상여건 등의 영향이 거의 없고 설비의 단순고도화로 보수업무가 비교적 적으며 특히 쾌적한 도심환경 조성으로 지자체와 일반고객들에게 각광을 받고 있다. 하지만 고가의 건설비용과 고장으로 인한 정전발생시 고정점 발견과 복구에 장시간이 소요되는 단점 또한 가지고 있는 것이 사실이다. 특히 지중변압기의 경우 바이오넷퓨즈의 동작유무를 기준으로 변압기 내부(1차측)고장인지 외부(2차측)고장인지 판단하고 있으나 바이오넷퓨즈의 동작만을 가지고 내 외부고장을 판단하는 것은 매우 위험하다는 것을 밝힌 바 있다. 그러나 변압기의 내 외부 고장을 판정하는 내부권선저항 측정방법은 절차가 복잡하고 정전을 시킨 후 측정하게 되어 있어 실효성이 매우 낮은 것으로 보인다. 이에 따라 변압기의 건전상을 정전시키지 않고 쉽게 변압기 내부권선코일의 이상유무를 판정하는 방법이 필요하다고 볼 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이와 같은 지중변압기 고장 발생 시 변압기 내부의 이상유무를 쉽게 파악할 수 있는 방법을 제시하고자 한다.

Maintenance of power distribution facilities is a significant subject in the power supplies. Fault caused by deterioration in power distribution facilities may damage the entire power distribution system. However, current methods of diagnosing power distribution facilities have been manually diagnosed by the human inspector, resulting in continuous pole accidents. In order to improve the existing diagnostic methods, a thermal image analysis model is proposed in this work. Using a thermal image technique in diagnosis field is emerging in the various engineering field due to its non-contact, safe, and highly reliable energy detection technology. Deep learning object detection algorithms are trained with thermal images of a power distribution facility in order to automatically analyze its irregular energy status, hereby efficiently preventing fault of the system. The detected object is diagnosed through a thermal intensity area analysis. The proposed model in this work resulted 82% of accuracy of detecting an actual distribution system by analyzing more than 16,000 images of its thermal images.

연료전지 발전시스템은 발전효율이 높고, 공해물질이 없는 등 많은 장점을 갖는 에너지생산 방 식에 따라 장래의 이용이 크게 기대되고 있다. 현재 연구개발에 많은 성과를 보이고 있는 미국. 일본에서는 인산형 연료전지의 상업화를 위해 수 MW급의 발전시스템의 신뢰성 실험을 진행 중에 있으며 용융탄산염형 연료전지, 고체산화물형 연료전지의 기초연구를 거의 완성한 단계에 있다. 국내에서도 연료전지발전은 화력발전의 한계, 발전연료의 다원화에 따른 천연가스의 수 입이용이 대폭 확대될 전망임에 따라 이용의 필요성이 많이 대두되고 있다. 특히 많은 섬과 산간지방 등 고립분산지역을 갖고 있는 국내 여건으로 볼 때, 송전. 배전시설이 필요 없는 온사이 트형 연료전지 발전설비가 설치될 경우 많은 이점을 가져올 수 있기 때문에 동 분야의 연구개 발이 필요한 상황이다. 전력은 국가의 핵심에너지로서 전력생산기술의 자립은 매우 중요하다. 특히 우리나라도 선진화되면서 새로운 첨단기술의 도입에 의한 에너지생산기술의 확보가 선진 국들의 기술보호정책에 의해 장애를 받고 있다. 연료전지기술의 경우도 일본이 동 분야를 국 책과제로 지정한 뒤 각 기업이 연구개발에 나서고 있는데, 이미 1980년대 초에 미국과 기술제휴 를 하면서 아시아지역 전체에 대한 전매권을 확보한 상태이며, 다른 타국과의 기술제휴 및 기 술이전을 거부한 채 실용화를 위한 경제성 확보의 시기를 기다리고 있다. 이와 같은 이유로 극복하기 위해 집중적인 투자를 확대하여 독자적인 기술을 확보해야한다.

Reliability evaluation of power distribution system is very important to both power utilities and customers. It present the probabilistic number and duration of interruption such as failure rate, SATDI, SAIFI, and CAIDI. However, it has a fatal weakness at reliability index because of accuracy of failure rate. In this paper, the Time-varying Failure Rate(TFR) of power distribution system equipment is extracted from the recorded failure data of KEPCO(Korea Electric Power Corporation) in Korea. For TFR extraction, it is used that the fault data accumulated by KEPCO during 10 years. The TFR is approximated to bathtub curve using the exponential(random failure) and Weibull(aging failure) distribution function. In addition, Kaplan-Meier estimation is applied to TFR extraction because of incomplete failure data of KEPCO. Finally, Probability plot and regression analysis is applied. It is presented that the extracted TFR is more effective and useful than Mean Failure Rate(MfR) through the comparison between TFR and MFR

The objective of the present study lies in constructing web-based GIS system providing broad range of information applicable for power/telecommunications distribution facilities through cable. Nowadays, Korea is renowned forits faste sttele communications network across the nation enjoyable for being a test-runbed by worldwide contents providers. It is not too much to say that the trend is caused by the fact that Korea utilizes the cobweb-like power transmission cables applicable for the nationwide telecommunications networking. In particular, the trend has been all the more encouraged by the governmental drive to expedite the telecommunication network by way of the established power transmission facilities deemed as publicutility. Nevertheless, few can deny that the overexcessive competition among telecommunication service providers increasingly gives rise to unauthorized, arbitrary facilitation of distribution devices, which becomes much burden in operating the normal power/telecommunications distribution facilities by a power-generating company. In this regard, the study, to cope with such problems, attempts to develop a web GIS-based information management system compatible with NDIS(New Distribution Information System), a distribution facility management system now under operation by KEPCO, making advantage of GE Energy's SIAS(Smallworld Internet Application) technology. The model provided by this study is expected to get closer into effective operation of distribution facilities along with better sharing of information among conventional telecommunications operators, while getting rid of infringed facilitation cases

This paper proposes a improved investment priority decision method of the facilities considering the reliability of distribution networks. The proposed method decides a investment order of the facilities combining, by fuzzy rules, the investment priority decision of KEPCO and the priority decision considering reliability evaluation indices. Where reliability evaluation indices are SAIFI(System Average Interruption Frequency Index) and SAIDI(System Average Interruption Duration Index), as referred to evaluation index for sustained interruption. The reliability analysis method of distribution networks applied in this paper utilizes analytic method, where the used reliability data is historical data of KEPCO. Particularly, we assumed that the failure rate increased as the equipment ages. To verify the performance of the proposed method, we applied it with the planned projects to reinforce the weak facility electrical facilities in KEPCO in 2004. The evaluation result showed that, under a limited budget, the reliability of the KEPCO in the Busan region using the proposed method can be enhanced than using the conventional KEPCO's method. Therefore, the results verify the proposed method can be efficiently used in the actual priorities method for investing the electrical facilities.

Continuous on-line temperature monitoring provides the means to evaluate current condition of equipment and detect abnormality. It allows corrective measures to be taken to prevent upcoming failure. Continuous temperature monitoring and event recording provides information on the energized equipment's response to normal and emergency conditions. On-line temperature monitoring helps to coordinate equipment specifications and ratings, determine the real limits of the monitored equipment and optimize facility operations. Using wireless technique eliminates any need for special cables and wires with lower installation costs if compared to other types of online condition monitoring equipment. In addition, wireless temperature monitoring works well under difficult conditions in strategically important locations. Wireless technology for on-line condition monitoring of energized equipment is applicable both as standalone system and with an interface with power quality monitoring system.

The paper considers the relation between on-line monitoring and diagnostics on the one hand and high-voltage (HV) withstand and partial discharge (PD) on-site testing on the other. HV testing supplies the basic data (fingerprints) for diagnostics. In case of warnings by on-line diagnostic systems, off-line withstand and PD testing delivers the best possible information about defects and enables the classification of the risk. Because alternating voltage (AC) is the most important test voltage, the AC generation on site is considered. Frequency tuned resonant (ACRF) test systems are best adapted to on-site conditions. They can be simply combined with PD measuring equipment. The available ACRF test systems and their application to electric power equipment -from cable systems to power transformers - is described.
