우리나라의 전력 계통에 있어, 22.9kV-y 배전 방식은 변전소로부터 배전 선로를 통해, 대도시 중심부 등 사람의 왕래가 빈번한 곳이나 신도시 지역 등에 지중 케이블로 전력을 공급하고 있으며 선로 운영상 배전 선로의 중성선을 일정 구간마다 3선 일괄 접지하는 다중 접지방식을 채택하고 있다. 이러한 다중 접지방식은 동심 중성선을 대지에 직접 접지하기 때문에 지락 사고시 건전상의 전압 상승이 적어 전력 설비의 절연 및 지락 전류의 검출이 용이하고 보호 계전기 등이 신속하게 동작한다. 계통 사고 등으로 인하여 동심 중성선의 전위가 상승되는 것을 방지하고자 케이블 접속 구간마다 동심 중성선을 일괄 접지하는 방식으로 배전 계통을 운영하고 있다. 이는 지락 사고시에는 동심 중성선의 대지 전의 상승을 일정값 이하로 제한하여 안전하게 유지하기 위해서이다. 그러나 지중 배전 선로에서 각 상(A,B,C상)의 부하가 불평형이 되는 것은 물론 평형일 경우에도 동심 중성선에는 부하 전류에 41.5%(전력구)$\sim$51.6%(관로)의 동심 중성선 순환 전류가 발생되고 있기 때문에 순환전류로 인한 손실이 도체 손실의 76%에 달하며, 이러한 손실전력으로 케이블의 내부 온도가 상승되어 케이블의 전류 용량이 관로의 경우 20% 정도 감소하게 된다. 본 연구는 이같은 문제점을 해결하는데 목적이 있다.

The study for a protective relay system is one of the important technical issues on the power system application of Superconducting Fault Current Limiter (SFCL). We used Real Time Digital Simulator(RTDS) to study the true interaction of the protection system with the power system. RTDS modeling of SFCL is necessary to the detailed protective relay tests. In this paper, we developed an analysis model using RTDS for studying the transient behavior of 22.9kV SFCL and carried out closed-loop testing of protective relays in distribution power system with the developed SFCL model. The SFCL model has the operation mechanism of 22.9kV hybrid SFCL being developed by LSIS and KEPRI in Korea. The parameters of the model are based on the test data of the real SFCL. Power system planners and operators can solve the expected problems in power system application of SFCL using protective relay testing results.

Distribution lines are spanned on a much large area as compared to transmission lines, and therefore, are more often susceptible to lightning strokes. The selection of the proper value of basic insulation level(BIL), for particular insolation components of distribution structures in specific, is very important. Lightning strikes has current risetimes ranging from 0.1 to several $\mu s$ and can produce transient overvoltages substantially greater than the BIL of many distribution systems in spite of lightning arresters. This paper describes lightning overvoltage of a 22.9kV distribution system due to lightning strike. This study will provide the information on insulation coordination studies to adopt BIL.

Watertight 25.8 kV/600 A/12.5 kA fault current limiters (FCLs) have successfully installed in five areas (Incheon, Seoul, Gyeong-gi, Daejeon, Suwon) on KEPCO power distribution line for the purpose of commercial demonstrations. The fault current limiting operation of this FCL, which includes functions of sensing, commutation, and reduction of fault currents, is perfectly completed within 1 cycle immediately after fault occurs. The performance of FCL was verified by short circuit test, impedance test, insulation test, temperature-rise test, and control test, etc at PT&T in LS industrial systems, which is the official certification institute in Korea. In 2013, and also the FCL field test was performed in order to test the protection coordination between conventional relays and FCL, on the 1.5 kA and 5.0 kA faults, which were made by connecting the Artificial Fault Generator (AFG) to the distribution line in test grid at KEPCO Power Testing Center. The next step of this project is to check the FCL conditions caused by real external environment, and acquire the various data from five regions installed with FCL. In this paper, we intend to explain the FCL specifications and performance characteristics, and check the expected effect by application of FCL to power distribution line based on the power system analysis of an application site.

The AC induced voltage on underground pipelines not only do harm to workers and instruments, but also cause big trouble in some case. This paper gives the mechanisms, examples, and countermeasure for the AC induced voltages which are caused by the resistive coupling between the grounding system of the 22.9kV distribution power system and the underground pipeline.

In this paper, applicability of SI-PD(switching impulse - partial discharge) testing method was put on an attempt as a newly proposed diagnostic method for the underground distribution power cable system in Korea. For this purpose, SI-PD testing equipment was designed, and tests were performed using artificial needle-type defects integrated into the 22.9 kV CN/CV cables in drder to prove its reliability. As a result, arc noises, generated from spark gap, were considerably decreased by use of a pneumatic switch immersed into oil, and artificial needle-type defects were well detected with impulse voltage level under $2U_0$. These results imply that it is likely possible to apply SI-PD measurement method as a the nondistructive test for the 22.9 kV CN/CV cable system in Korea.

This paper presents a voltage analysis method of distribution systems interconnected with DG(Distributed Generation). Nowadays, small scale DG becomes to be introduced into power distribution systems. But in that case, it is difficult to properly maintain the terminal voltage of low voltage customers by using only ULTC(Under Load Tap Changer). This paper presents a voltage analysis method of distribution systems with DC for proper voltage regulation of power distribution systems with ULTC. In order to develop the voltage analysis method, distribution system modeling method and advanced loadflow method are proposed. Proposed method has been applied to a 22.9 kV practical power distribution systems.

This paper proposes a novel UPQC(unified power quality conditioner) based on H-bridge modules, isolated through single-phase multi-winding transformers. The dynamic performance of proposed system was analyzed by simulation with EMTDC/PSCAD, assuming that the UPQC is connected with the 22.9kV distribution line. The proposed system can be directly connected to the transmission line without series injection transformers. It has flexibility in expanding the operation voltage by increasing the number of H-bridge modules and can compensate reactive power, harmonics, voltage sag and swell, voltage unbalance. The control strategy for the proposing UPQC was derived using the instantaneous power method. The proposing UPQC has the ultimate capability of improving power quality at the point of installation on power distribution systems and can be utilized for the future distribution system.

The modern power system including lots of measuring devices and controller is large and complex total information system. A Lot of data and system information are transmitted to operators, and analysing these information and system management is very important. Recently, GUI(Graphic Users Interface) is emphasized as a method that operators carry out their duties, effectively. In this paper. a simulator that can show state estimation and detection of bad measuring devices is introduced for domestic 154kV/22.9kV distribution substations. C language and Visual Basic is used for this simulator. and TCP/IP is adopted to consider connection with a Power system.

In order to accurately measure the high voltage of 22.9[kV] power distribution lines we investigated the temperature dependence of measuring voltage on the number of stack layers in the voltage measurement system made from single and stack voltage divider capacitors (22, 44, 66 layers, respectively). Temperature coefficient of dielectric constant(TC$\varepsilon_{{\gamma}}$/)of voltage divider capacitors which were fabricated by BaTi $O_3$system ceramics showed the variations from -2.28% to +1.69% in the range of -25[$^{\circ}C$] ~50[$^{\circ}C$]) was decreased with increasing of stack number and the stack element of 66 layers showed the least error of $\pm$0.87%or of $\pm$0.87%.
