The use of underground transmission cables has continuously increased in densely inhabited urban and suburban area. Due to a increasing demand of underground cables, two or more circuits are installed in parallel for several kilometers. It, however, has not been realized that the sheath circulating current is generated in the system where a large number of cables are laid in the same route. In this paper, sheath circulating current is analyzed by the EMTP and compared with the measured values. Unbalance arrangement of cables or cross-bonding length causes a significant effect on the magnitude of the sheath current. Sheath circulating current could be greatly reduced by the symmetrical configuration of cables and installation of the impedance reduction system. Especially, with the impedance system of 1Ω installed, the sheath circulating current is reduced by 85.7%.

This paper describes the overvoltage analysis and reduction methods of insulation joint boxes in underground transmission power cables when direct lightning surge strikes to overhead transmission line. An actual 154kV combined transmission line with underground Power cables was modelled in ATPDraw for simulation. Simulations were performed to analyze the overvoltage between insulation joint boxes, sheath-to-ground voltage according to the distance between cable conductors, cable lengths, burying types, CCPU connection types. The most effective method to reduce the induced overvoltage of Insulation joint boxes was proposed. It is evaluated that the proposed reduction method riven from the detailed simulations can be effectively applied to the actual underground power cable systems.

The goal of this study is the size and distribution of the electromagnetic force generated by the current flowing through the second underground line of 154kV power transmission cables by using electromagnetic finite element analysis. So we interpret how mutually electromagnetic force has an effect on the comparable judgement of Trefoil, Duct and Flat, which shows in a numerical arrangement. 154kV OF 1200SQ Cable 1.281km not only is applicable to modeling for underground transmission cable but also examine the effect of line to line, phase to phase and size and direction of the electromagnetic force preparing for the occurrence of normal state and single-phase earth fault, which are arranged in trefoil, duct and flat formation between sections. As showing how the trajectory, and size distribution of the electromagnetic force translate as the arrangement of the cables when a steady-state current and a fault current flows on the underground cables, I hope that when Underground transmission is designed, this data will be useful information.

This paper describes the improvement method of distance relaying algorithm for the underground transmission cables. Distance relaying algorithms have been mainly developing to protect the overhead transmission lines than the underground cables. If the cable systems are directly protected using distance relaying algorithm developed for overhead line without any improvement, there will be really occurred many misoperation in cable systems, because the cable systems consist of the conductor, the sheath, several grounding method, cable cover protection units(CCPUs), and grounding wire. Accordingly, the complicated phenomena are occurred, if there is a fault in cable systems. Therefore, to develope a correct distance relaying algorithm, such cable characteristics should be taken into account. This paper presents the process to improve distance relaying algorithm which is now used. REal cable system was selected to establish modeling in EMTP and ATP Draw. It was discovered through the detailed simulation during the fault that the large error existed between impedance measured at the relay point and real impedance is due to the resistance of grounding wire in each grounding method. And also compensation factor obtained by the simulation is proposed in this paper. It is proved that the factor proposed can fairly improve the accuracy of impedance at the relay point. It is evaluated that the protective ability will be really much improved, if the algorithm proposed in this paper is applied for cable systems of utility.

기중종단 접속함은 지중케이블과 가공송전선을 연결하기 위한 접속함으로써 옥외 변전소 등의 대기 중에 설치된다. 이는 21세기 핵심기술로 여겨지고 있는 대륙 간, 국가 간, 육지-섬을 잇는 HVDC 송전선로의 DC 그리드 송전망 형성을 위해 반드시 개발되어야 하는 전력기기이다. 그러나 AC용 접속함의 개발 사례는 다수 존재하는 반면, DC용 접속함의 개발 사례 및 기술은 일본과 중국 등에 일부 존재할 뿐 국내 기술은 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 기존 AC용 슬립 온형 기중 종단접속함을 초기모델로 선정하여 HVDC 전력기기로의 적용 가능성을 평가하였다. 먼저 실제 운전 시 기중종단 접속함 내 도체에서 발생하는 열에 의한 내 외부의 온도편차를 고려한 DC 전계해석을 수행하였으며, AC 전계분포 및 열 해석이 반영되지 않은 DC 전계분포와 비교하였다. 또한 DC 전계는 정상상태 뿐만 아니라 과도 구간도 포함하기 때문에 이를 고려한 전계해석을 수행할 필요가 있기 때문에 정상상태와 더불어 극성반전 후 전계분포 역시 비교, 분석하였다. 마지막으로, 기존 AC용 슬립 온형 기중 종단접속함 초기모델을 DC에 적용하기 위해 다양한 형상 변환을 통한 요소 설계를 수행하였다. 기중종단 접속함 구조 내 전계가 가장 집중될 것으로 사료되는 부분을 선정하여 그 지점들의 최대 전계강도 $E_{n.max}$와 $E_{t.max}$를 측정하였다. 해석 결과, 정상상태시 개선모델의 삼중점 최대 전계강도는 기준모델 대비 2.01% 개선되었으며, 연면 최대 전계강도는 기준모델 대비 36.68% 개선되었다. AC 전계해석 결과인 연면 전계강도 1.11 kV/mm보다는 33.3% 감소하였지만 삼중점 최대 전계강도 8.23 kV/mm보다는 아직 43.6% 크다는 점에서 부분적인 형상 변환이 아닌 DC 환경에 적합한 전혀 다른 근본적인 설계 개념의 변화가 반드시 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
