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. In case of balanced fault, such as three phase short circuit, transmission line can be represented by positive sequence impedance only. The majority of fault in transmission lines, however, 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 skywires in overhead transmission systems and through cable sheaths and earth in cable 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, conventional and EMTP-based sequence impedance calculation methods were described and applied to 345kV cable transmission systems (4 circuit, OF 2000mm2). 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.

Distance relay is tripped by the line impedance calculated at the relay point. Accordingly the accurate operation depends on the precise calculation of line impedance. Impedance can be accurately calculated in case of overhead line. However, in case of power cables or combined transmission lines, impedance can not be accurately calculated because cable systems have the sheath, grounding wires, and cable cover protection units (CCPUs). There are also several grounding systems in cable systems. Therefore, if there is a fault in cable system, these terms will severely be caused much error to calculation of impedance. Accordingly the proper compensation should be developed for the correct operation of the distance relay. This paper presents the distance calculating algorithm in combined transmission line with power cable using wavelet transform. In order to achieve such purpose, judgement method to discriminate the fault section in both sections was proposed using db1 coefficient summation. And also, error compensation factor was proposed for correct calculation of impedance in power cable.

As demand for electricity in urban areas increases, it is necessary to improve electric power stability by interconnecting neighboring substations and high temperature superconductor (HTS) power cables are considered as a promising option due to its large power capacity. However, the interconnection of substations reduces grid impedance and expected fault current is over 45 kA, which exceeds the capacity of a circuit breaker in Korean grid. To reduce the fault current below 45 kA, a HTS power cable having a fault current limiting (FCL) function is considered by as a feasible solution for the interconnection of substations. In this study, a FCL HTS power cable of 600 MVA/154 kV, transmission level class, is considered to reduce the fault current from 63 kA to less than 45 kA by generating an impedance over 1 Ωwhen the fault current is induced. For the thermal design of FCL HTS power cable, a parametric study is conducted to meet a required temperature limit and impedance by modifying the cable core from usual HTS power cables which are designed to bypass the fault current through cable former. The analysis results give a minimum cable length and an area of stainless steel former to suppress the temperature of cable below a design limit.

Fault current limiting (FCL) cable is a kind of superconducting cable which has a function of limiting the fault current at the fault of power grid. The superconducting cable detours the fault current through its stabilizer to keep the temperature as low as possible. On the other hands, the FCL cable permits the temperature rise within some acceptable limit and the fault current is limited by the consequent increase of the resistance of superconducting cable. This kind of FCL cable is called 'resistive FCL cable' because it uses resistive impedance to limit the fault current. In this paper, we suggest a novel concept of FCL cable, which is named as 'inductive FCL cable'. The inductive FCL cable is similar as the magnetic shielding fault current limiter in its operating mechanism. The magnetic field of superconducting cable is almost perfectly shielded by the induced current at the shielding layer during its normal operation. However, at the fault condition, quench occurs at the shielding layer by the induced current higher than its critical current and the magnetic field is spread out of the shielding layer. It will induce additional inductive impedance to the superconducting cable and the inductive impedance can be increased more by installing some material with high magnetic susceptibility around the superconducting cable. We examined the feasibility of inductive FCL cable with simple elemental experiments. The current limiting performance of inductive FCL cable was estimated considering an arbitrary power grid and its fault condition.

The line impedance is important data that are applied in all analysis fields of electric power system such as power flow, fault current, stability and relay calculation etc. Usually, the impedance can be accurately calculated in case of overhead line. However, in case of power cables or combined transmission lines, the impedance can not be accurately calculated because cable systems have the sheath, grounding wires, and earth resistances. Therefore, if there is a fault in cable system, these terms will severely be caused many errors for calculating impedance. In this paper, the line impedance is measured in a power system of underground cables, and is analyzed by a generalized circuit analysis program, EMTP(Electromagnetic Transient Program), for comparison with the measured value. These analysis results are considered to become foundation of impedance calculation for underground cables.

광대역 주파수 영역에서 동작하는 동축선을 이용한 임피던스 트랜스포머는 일반적으로 고정된 임피던스 비율 (1:n2 or n2:1, n은 케이블 수)의 값으로 임피던스 변환을 하는 회로에 주로 사용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 다양한 임피던스 변환 비율이 가능한 동축선 임피던스 트랜스포머 구조를 제안하였다. 또한, 제안된 임피던스 변환 회로의 동작 특성을 확인하기 위하여 $50-{\Omega}$ to $25-{\Omega}$, $50-{\Omega}$ to $20-{\Omega}$, $50-{\Omega}$ to $9-{\Omega}$ 임피던스 트랜스포머를 제작하여 반사 특성을 살펴보았다. 제작된 트랜스포머는 $50-{\Omega}$ to $25-{\Omega}$와 $50-{\Omega}$ to $20-{\Omega}$ 임피던스 트랜스포머는 3-옥타브 이상의 주파수 영역에서, $50-{\Omega}$ to $9-{\Omega}$ 임피던스 트랜스포머는 한 옥타브 주파수 영역 이상에서 입력 반사 계수(S11)의 값이 -15dB 이하의 값을 가졌다.

높은 전력과 광대역에서 동작하는 동축선을 이용한 임피던스 트랜스포머는 추가적인 동축선을 이용하면 다양한 임피던스 변환 비율을 가질 수 있다. 50-${\Omega}$ to 25-${\Omega}$의 임피던스 변환 비율의 동축선 임피던스 트랜스포머에 50-${\Omega}$ 선로 두 개를 25-${\Omega}$ 지점에 병렬 연결하면 쉽게 광대역에서 동작하는 전력 분배기를 제작할 수 있다. 이런 동축선을 이용한 광대역 전력 분배기는 두 개의 출력 단자의 단자 정합 특성과 출력 단자사이의 격리 특성이 매우 낮아 개선이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 단일 종단 여파기 설계 방식을 이용하여 동축선을 사용한 전력 분배기의 단자 정합 특성과 격리 특성을 개선하였다. 먼저, 저주파 대역 통과 단일 종단 여파기 계수를 이용하여 ADS 시뮬레이션을 통해 2-way 전력 분배기의 정합 단자 수와 Ripple에 따른 동작 특성을 살펴보았고, 종단 정합이 없는 전력 분배기와 2단 정합과 4단 정합을 가지는 전력 분배기를 제작하여 출력 단자의 정합 특성 및 격리 특성의 개선 정도를 살펴보았다.

Previous research results indicated that the designed current reduction device could effectively reduce the sheath circulating current and that its RDP protection device could shield it against both fault and lightning strokes. In this paper, cable impedance is analyzed using wavelet analysis and distance relay algorithm following the installation of these devices so that the operation of distance relay can be estimated. The test results confirm that in these devices, the fault inception angle and SVL bonding types have no impact on the change of cable impedance. In other words, the conventional distance relay can be used without a new relay setting. Thus we can finally assert that the designed current reduction device and its protection device are effective and can be safely installed on the cable transmission system without disturbance.

This paper presents the basic quench protection idea for the HTS(High-Temperature Superconducting) cable. In Korea power system, the transfer capability of transmission line is limited by the voltage stability, and HTS cable could be one of the countermeasure to solve the transfer limit as its higher current capacity and lower impedance[1]. However, the quench characteristic of HTS cable makes HTS cable to loss its superconductivity, and therefore change the impedance of the line and power system operating condition dramatically. This pheonominum threats not only HTS cable safety but also power system security, therefore a proper protection scheme and security control counterplan have to be established before HTS cable implementation. In this paper, the quench characteristics of HTS cable for the fault current based on heat balance equation was established and a proper protection method by FCL(Fault Current Limiter) was suggested.
