우리나라의 전기에너지 수요가 지속적으로 증가함에 따라 새로운 송배전 선로의 구축이 필요하다. 하지만 현재 도심지의 전력구에는 더 이상의 지중선의 증설은 불가능하며 가공선 설치의 경우 환경 민원의 부담을 떠안게 된다. 그래서 기존 동도체의 회선당 송전 한계를 극복하고 대용량 송전 및 손실을 크게 줄일 수 있는 초전도 케이블의 연구가 세계적으로 활발히 진행되고 있다. 한국전력 전력연구원은 신 전력시스템으로서의 22.9 kV급 초전도케이블 시스템을 고창전력시험센터에 설치하고 운영 및 유지 보수 과정을 통하여 실제 계통 적용을 위한 최적 운전조건을 연구하고 있다. 이 논문에서는 실제 부하 상황을 모의하기 위하여 초전도케이블의 장기 부하변동 시험에 따른 케이블 송전 능력 확인 및 냉각시스템의 반응성을 살펴보고 부하변동 시험 후 초전도케이블 도체 열화 여부를 확인하기 위하여 직류 임계전류를 측정하였다. 그 결과 부하변동 시험 전의 임계전류 값과의 변화율이 삼상 모두 ${\pm}1$% 내외로서 오차범위를 벗어나지 않으므로 건전한 것으로 판단되었다.

As TBM construction method is widely applied to construct underground transmission lines, increasing attention has been drawn to SFRC(steel fiber reinforced concrete) segment with respect to structural characteristics. Health hazards of electromagnetic wave which the underground transmission lines emit has emerged, and there is a concern that electromagnetic wave can be amplified because a segment characteristic such as electrical conductivity is changed by steel fibers. In order to analyze correlation between steel fiber dosage and electromagnetic wave, the specimens were fabricated on three conditions to perform experimental tests. From the measured data, it is proven that there is no correlation between the electromagnetic wave and steel fiber reinforced concrete.

This paper describes sheath voltage limiter(SVL) transient characteristics by switching overvoltage considering single point bonding in underground transmission cables. The crossbonding system is generally used for grounding methods of underground transmission system. However, the single point bonding system is used in selective area which is difficult to consist of crossbonding major section. The sheath voltage limiters are connected between joints in the single point bonding. Specially, the high overvoltage might be generated in that section as well as the aging of sheath voltage limiter might be progressed by various electrical stress including lightning overvoltage, switching overvoltage and power frequency overvoltage. Therefore, in this paper, the switching overvoltage characteristics in underground cables are firstly analysed using EMTP simulation. Then, the switching overvoltage of sheath voltage limiter is also studied in single point bonding. Finally, the reduction method of sheath voltage limiter switching overvoltage is proposed by various simulation studies including circuit breaker operating order.

Power system fault analysis is commonly based on well-known symmetrical component method, which describes power system elements by positive, negative and zero sequence impedance. The majority of fault in transmission lines is unbalanced fault, such as line-to-ground faults, so that both positive and zero sequence impedance is required for fault analysis. When unbalanced fault occurs, zero sequence current flows through earth and ground wires in overhead transmission systems and through cable sheaths and earth in underground transmission systems. Since zero sequence current distribution between cable sheath and earth is dependent on both sheath bondings and grounding configurations, care must be taken to calculate zero sequence impedance of underground cable transmission lines. In this paper, EMTP-based sequence impedance calculation method was described and applied to 345kV cable transmission systems. Calculation results showed that detailed circuit analysis is desirable to avoid possible errors of sequence impedance calculation resulted from various configuration of cable sheath bonding and grounding in underground cable transmission systems.

The use of underground transmission cables has increased continuously in densely inhabited urban and suburban for power transmission. Two or more transmission lines are outgoing from one substation in many cases, and one line comprises twin circuits. In order to meet the increasing do and for electric power, underground tables of two or fore circuits are installed in ducts in parallel for several kilometer in the same route. It, however, has not been known generally that the sheath circulating current is generated in a system where a large number of cables are laid on the same route. Therefore, this paper describes an improved analysis method for sheath circulating current on underground transmission cables using EMTP. Author propose several methods to reduce sheath circulating current. The analysing method and reduction methods for two or more underground cables will be really improved for cable system utility.

지중송전라인에서 전압등급의 상승은 선로손실을 줄이면서 밀집된 전력수요에 대응하거나 특별히 고전압 수요를 맞추기 위한 것으로 이것은 XLPE Cable의 제조기술이 향상되면서 지속적으로 진행되어온 초고압송전계통의 일반적 추세이다. 이러한 경향으로 해외에서는 케이블 도체의 송전용량을 증대시킬 수 있는 방법으로 케이블 도체에 에나멜 코팅을 하여 집합을 한다. 그러므로써 기존 케이블에서 발생되는 표피현상 및 근접효과에 의한 AC 저항 요소를 줄여 요구하는 전류용량을 기존 비소선절연 케이블에 비해 더 많이 송전할 수 있다. 하지만, 소선절연 케이블이 전류 용량을 증대 시킬 수 있는 장점은 있으나 접속재의 경우 도체의 에나멜 코팅을 제거해야 하는 문제점이 있다. 당사는 에나멜 코팅을 제거하는 방법을 개발 완료함으로써 본 접속재의 개발을 앞당길 수 있었다. 당사는 쿠웨이트 400kV MEW/C/3931 Project에 400kV XLPE 1C${\times}$2500SQ 소선절연 초고압송전라인을 적용하였는데 본고에서는 여기에 적용된 400kV XLPE 1C${\times}$25000SQ 소전절연 케이블 부속재의 신뢰성을 높이기 위한 설계방법, 시험 및 시공에 대하여 요약하였다.

This paper describes magnetic field on power cable in underground transmission systems. Based on specification which is being used in domestic power utility, magnetic field was analyzed in accordance with line arrangement, line burial depth and phase spacing. Magnetic field magnitude and its trend were understood in each circuit type such as double circuits, triple circuits and quadruple circuits of underground transmission systems. In addition, magnetic field was analyzed according to phase arrangement changing in each circuit. Finally, the proper phase arrangement configuration type was suggested by the evaluation of analysis result. Magnetic field was calculated by using Biot-Savart's law. According to the evaluated magnetic fields based on phase layout configuration in each circuit, it figured out that each of magnetic fields was different. As a result, this paper proposes a proper phase layout configuration for generating minimum magnetic field. It is evaluated that the phase layout configuration in each circuit proposed in this paper can be used at actual underground transmission systems.

A submarine power cable is a transmission cable for carrying electric power below the surface of the water. Recently, submarine cables transfer power from offshore renewable energy schemes to shore, e.g. wind, wave and tidal systems, and these cables are either buried in the seabed or lie on the ocean floor, depending on their location. Since these power cables are used in the extreme environments, they are made to withstand in harsh conditions and temperatures, and strong currents. However, undersea conditions are severe enough to cause all sorts of damage to offshore cables, these conditions result in cable faults that disrupt power transmission. In this paper, we explore the design criteria for such cables and the procedures and challenges of installation, and cable transfer splicing system. The specification of submarine cable designed with 3 circuits of 154kV which is composed of the existing single circuit and new double circuits, and power capacity of 100MVA per cable line. The determination of new submarine cable burial depth and cable arrangement method with both existing and new cables are studied. We have calculated the permission values of cable power capacity for underground route, the values show the over 100MW per cable line.
