The application of series compensator in a power system affects other devices such as circuit breakers transient recovery voltage (TRV) problem. In this paper, we analyze the TRV effect on a line circuit breaker in the cases with and without thyristor-controlled series capacitor (TCSC) via simulation, and suggest an effective method to overcome the increase of TRV due to the TCSC installation. It also discusses the impact of proposed protection on metal oxide varistor (MOV). A 345 kV transmission line in Korea was selected as a study case. Grid system was modelled using PSCAD (Power Systems Computer Aided Design) / EMTDC(Electro Magnetic Transient Direct Current). The TRV was analyzed by implementing a short circuit fault along the transmission line and at the breaker terminal. The proposed protection scheme, the TRV satisfies the standard. However, the MOV energy capacity increased as the delay time increased. This result can solve the TRV problem caused by the expected transmission line fault in a practical power system.

The real-time dynamic rating system(DRS) can provide the maximum ampacity within required periods, so it can help the transmission-line operation more safely and efficiently. Because the conductor temperature is the main limit of increasing rating current, conductor temperature monitoring(CTM) technology is the basic to DRS. In this paper, real-time CTM was developed for 345kV XLPE cable in tunnel and we have also compared the CTM result of this study with the result according to IEC 287 and JCS 168 thermal parameters.

A wide-area protection intelligent technique has been used to improve a reliability in power systems and to prevent a blackout. Nowadays, voltage and current phasor estimation has been executed by GPS-based synchronized PMU, which has become an important way of wide-area blackout protection for the prevention of expending faults in power systems. As this technique has the difficulties in collecting and sharing of information, there have been used a FNET method for the wide-area intelligent protection. This technique is very useful for the prediction of the inception fault and for the prevention of fault propagation with accurate monitoring frequency and frequency deviation. It consists of FDRs and IMS. It is well known that FNET can detect the dynamic behavior of system and obtain the real-time frequency information. Therefore, FDRs must adopt a optimal frequency estimation method that is robust to noise and fault. In this paper, we present comparative studies for the frequency estimation method using IRDWT(improved recursive discrete wavelet transform), for the frequency estimation method using FRDWT(fast recursive discrete wavelet transform). we used the Republic of Korea 345kV power system modeling data by EMTP-RV. The user-defined arbitrary waveforms were used in order to evaluate the performance of the proposed two kinds of RDWT. Also, the frequency variation data in various range, both large range and small range, were used for simulation. The simulation results showed that the proposed frequency estimation technique using FRDWT can be the optimal frequency measurement method applied to FDRs.

The HVAC(Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning) system is only controlled by turn on/turn off operations against to AC 380V input. Therefore, the efficiency of the system is reduced and noise occurs. Also, the blower is shut down at the AC power failure. In this paper, the inverter system with UPS function for the A/C(Air Conditioning) blower is proposed. Proposed inverter system which is powered from the AC and DC voltage can control speed, operation mode, and soft-start time using CAN communication. In case of the CAN communication failure, RS-232 communication could be used to control the hardware directly by the engineer that can solve existing problems. To verify the validity of proposed inverter system, simulations and experiments are carried out.

The underground transmission line have been consistently developed to increase its voltage level for satisfying the customer's demand through supplying the high reliability power. The underground XLPE cable and its accessories of 500kV level have been already developed internationally, but the XLPE cable have been installed 154kV level in Korea up to now. Thus, our company has developed 230kV XLPE cable and its accessory in 1998 for preparing 345kV level system in Korea and being qualified as international cable maker of developing oversea markets. In this paper, newly our developed 230kV system will be introduced using the type test result according to IEC 840 and additional specification.

현재 전국적으로 많은 곳에 SPS(고장파급방지장치)가 설치되어 운영중에 있으며 대부분은 345kV이상 대단위 전원단지 인근에 설치되어 있으나 강원지역의 경우는 154kV 계통에 다수가 설치되어 운전중에 있다. 강원지역은 지역적 특성으로 인해 장거리 송전선로가 많으며 전원단이 원거리에 위치하여 고장시 전압불안정에 의한 계통붕괴의 위험성이 타 지역보다 높다. 특히 하계에 비해 난방부하 및 심야전력의 영향으로 최대부하가 대폭 증가하는 동계의 경우 이러한 특성이 더욱 두드러지는데 2007년 동계피크시 부하실적 및 역률을 기준으로 부하특성 및 부하역율 변동에 따른 계통영향을 분석하여 기 설치 운영중인 SPS 적용의 타당성 및 유지여부에 대한 판단 및 SPS 적용 개선(안)을 제시하였다.

Preventive diagnostic system for power transformer prevents the sudden power failure through monitoring of abnormal symptoms. KEPCO has adopted the preventive diagnostic system at nine 345kV substations since 1997. Application techniques of the diagnostic sensors were settled, but diagnostic algorithm and practical use of accumulated data are not yet established. To build up the diagnostic algorithm and effective use of the preventive diagnostic system, the reliability of the data accumulated in a server computer is very important. Therefore, this paper describes problem when apply system to substation and solution way to improve reliability of the system

This paper introduces wavelets and shows that they may be efficient and useful for the detection of general faults in power system. The wavelet transform of a signal consists in measuring the "similarity" between the signal and a set of translated and scaled versions of a "mother wavelet". The "mother wavelet" is a chosen fast decaying oscillation function. A number of mother wavelet for signal analysis have been proposed and some of them are in use in fault detection. However, the performance of fault detection depend on used mother wavelet. In the present paper a comparative evaluation of different mother wavelets for low impedance fault detection is performed. The discussion is focused in well-known mother wavelet based wavelet transform. Several families of wavelets are used to analyse transient earth fault signals in a 345kV model system as generated by EMTP.

The purpose of this study is to obtain optimum arrangement of phase conductors in minimizing magnetic field from overhead transmission lines. Data of the transmission lines rated 345 kV of the KEPCO(Korea Electric Power Company)'s system were used. For a three phase-double circuit transmission line, low-reactance arrangement is optimum in minimizing magnetic fields. For a three phase-four circuit, optimum phase arrangement is a-b-c-b-a-c(lower two circuits, clockwise)/b-c-a-c-a-b(upper two circuits, clockwise).

In the future, it is expected that a fault-current of 345kV power system is beyond 60kA and stability and reliability in transmission system will be more important. From these points of view, we needed a development of a circuit breaker having ability of breaking a large fault current, more than 60kA. This paper describe the specification and history of a development on 362kV 63kA 8000A GCB(Gas insulated Circuit Breaker) of which we completed a development. A development of this GCB will contribute to improve the technique to design and make GCB, and the stability and reliability of power system in our country.
