As power system is developed, an expansion of power equipments is very necessary to the stability of power system and the problem of locating the facilities on downtown is more serious. At this time introduction of superconducting devices are very good alternative to solve the problem. This study describes cases possible to apply 22.9kV HTS cable to power system and analyzes the power system with HTS cable.

A 22.9kV/50MVA class high temperature superconducting(HTS) power cable system was developed in Korea. For the optimization of electrical insulation design for a HTS cable, it is necessary to investigate the ac breakdown impulse breakdown and partial discharge inception stress of the liquid nitrogen/laminated polypropylene paper(LPP) composite insulation system. They were used to insulation design of the model cable for a 22.9kV class HTS power cable and the model cable was manufactured. The insulation test of the manufactured model cable was evaluated in various conditions and was satisfied standard technical specification in Korea. Base on these experimental data, the single and 3 phase HTS cable of a prototype were manufactured and verified.

This paper proposes a coordinative protection study results of 22.9kV HTS(High-Temperature Superconducting) cable implemented distribution system. HTS cable can provide about 5 times larger transfer capacability compare to conventional XLPE cable, however, it has different heat characteristic so called quench. This paper presents the simulation results on Ichun substation HTS cable which connects main transformer and 22.9kV bus. Various expected fault cases are considered and discussed to examine whether conventional protection scheme is effective to protect both of existing facilities and HTS cable. With the results of simulation, conventional protection scheme can be used if instantaneous element and time inverse elements could be adjusted with proper time coordination. Internal temperatures of HTS cable conductor in safe region with proper protection without quench. This results are to be demonstrated by the field test and will be implemented in Ichon substation HTS cable protection and control system.

본 논문은 CD형 초전도 케이블을 22.9kV 다중접지 배전계통에 적용한 경우 불평형 지락 고장이 초전도 케이블에 미치는 영향을 검토하고 이로 인한 중성선 전류의 변화 및 계통보호를 위한 대책을 논한다. 3상 CD형 초전도 케이블을 사용하는 경우 귀로선은 전향선과 전류가 반대이면서 거의 동일한 전류가 흐르므로 회로의 인덕턴스를 크게 줄일 수 있지만 이를 위해 회로를 단락하여 운전하는 경우 지락고장시 영상회로가 별도로 존재하지 않으면 지락전류를 저감시키는 결과를 초래하게 되어 계통보호에 영향을 주게 된다. 본 논문은 EMTDC 프로그램을 활용하여 이 현상을 XLPE 케이블 계통과 비교, 모의하는 한편, 정상적인 보호계전기 동작이 가능토록 하는 대책에 대해 논한다.

In 22.9[kV]-y distribution systems, underground cables are provided with 3-wire loop multiple-point ground in which each coaxial-neutral line of the distribution cable lines(A, B, C phases) is 3-wire common grounded at every connecting section. In the underground cable distribution systems, circulating current flows in the coaxial-neutral lines and its magnitude amounts to about $40{\sim}50[%]$ load currents, even though loads are balanced. This paper presents a new ground method to overcome such a problem and a comprehensive analysis in tows of current capacity of power cables, induced voltage of cable sheath, and electromagnetic interference voltage from power cable lines.

Until now some countries including South Korea have made big progress and many efforts in the development of high temperature superconductor (HTS) power equipments. Especially, HTS Cable and superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) are the strongest candidates among them from the viewpoint of applying to real grid. In South Korea, HTS cable and SFCL have been installed in test fields and tested successfully at Gochang PT Center of KEPCO. In order to meet practical requirements and be feasible in real grid, a demonstration project for HTS cable and SFCL systems, called GENI(green superconducting electric power network at Icheon substation) project, has been initiated to install 23kV HTS cable and SFCL systems in a utility network in South Korea since 2008. Namely, it says the first demonstration project for the application HTS system to real smart grid in South Korea. This paper presents the design and the application plan of the 22.9kV HTS cable and SFCL in 154kV Icheon substation in South Korea with the viewpoint of applying in Smat Grid.

Demands for electricity are growing, whereas the rate of electricity infrastructure's construction declines gradually. To keep the balance of the demand and supply, the share of underground transmission line will be increased from 8.3% to 10.5% in 2020 but it will be accompanied with enormous public expenses. A great concern in high capacity transmission is on the increase so as to maximize the spacial efficiency. High Temperature Superconducting (HTS) cable is in the lime light which has the merits of environment-friendly, low transmission loss and high transmission with low voltage, but the reliability verification as a power system is yet to be solved. KEPCO completed the installation and acceptance of $3{\phi}$, 22.9kV, 1250A class HTS cable system in 2006 and the long term test is in progress. The test results focusing on long term reliability are presented in this paper.

In this paper, describes the fabrication and dielectric insulation characteristics experimental results of the model cable for the 22.9kV class HTS power cable. The model cable were tested with partial discharge(PD), AC and impulse withstand voltage in liquid nitrogen($LN_2$) and liquid nitrogen pressure. In these test results, PD inception stress and AC, impulse breakdown strength increase as the pressure of the liquid nitrogen increases.

This paper presents few case studies of state diagnosis of XLPE cables using very low frequency techniques. The power cables of 22.9kV which have installation fault were assessed using VLF technique in addition to other techniques like insulation resistance and DC voltage withstand test. From the experimental results, The dielectric loss($tan{\delta}$) values of degradation of the cable(joint, knife, needle) at $U_0$ were 5.839, 5.526 and 6.251, respectively and all values were "further study advised". VLF PD measurement was also found defective portion. These method was effective in defect to fault in the degradation of the cable. However, the breakdown did not occur in the degradation of the cable because of properties of XLPE insulation. Few case studies of using VLF $tan{\delta}$ diagnosis for fault are measured and analyzed. The $tan{\delta}$ values at $U_0$ were "further study advised" or "action required".
