Gas Insulated Switchgear(GIS) acts as an indispensible part in power transmission network. In order that GIS may have its high reliability, it is necessary to pay careful attention to its whole process e.g., designing, manufacturing, installation, and operation. The main hazard in GIS comes from free conducting particles, which can move and cause breakdown under the influence of the electric field. Although the concentration on protecting the GIS inner part against the free conducting particles is made, it is, actually, almost impossible to avoid the hazard from the particles throughly. In this paper, using the EHV test chamber, partial discharge quantity in GIS was measured when free conducting particles initiate to discharge for providing fundamental data for the purpose of developing predictive diagnosis technology on site GIS.

In the nation, 154kV XLPE cable with an insulation thickness of 23mm have been used for transmission lines. The thickness is designed by old parameters which were determined by Kreuger, Oudin et al. in 1960s. By the way, the manufacturing technology has been developed. Especially in extruding and curing process we are using a triple common extruding head and applying gas-curing process. It allows the quality of XLPE cable improved. The paper evaluates the AC minimum insulation breakdown strength of XLPE power cable using model table. We can verify the uplifted insulation quality. And we expects the cable insulation thickness to be reduced applying the new parameter to the cable insulation design.

When a new transmission line is planned to construct, the system voltage and the conductor size of the transmission line should be decided by both economical and technical point of view. This paper presents a methodology to determine the optimal voltage for upgrading the transmission system voltage of existing the extra high voltage grid network by meeting the requirements of the transmission cost minimization as well as technical constraints of thermal limit and stability limit in the transmission line. As a case study, calculated are optimal voltages versus distance and capacity of a practically applicable transmission line with 4 bundles 2 circuits. By this study 400kV was selected as the next higher voltage for the existing 220kV Libyan grid network.

A mathematical model (hybrid arc model) for arc behaviour in an $SF_6$ puffer gas-blast circuit-breaker has been developed. It has adopted the advantages of integral method and differential method. The method has been applied to model puffer circuit breaker of Noeske et al and good agreement of critical RRRV(Ratio of Rise of Recovery Voltage) has been obtained. Axial or radial distributions of temperature, electric field and arc radius are also presented and analyzed.

$SF_6$ gas circuit breakers we widely used for short circuit current interruption in EHV or UHV power system. For a $SF_6$ gas circuit breaker development, the hot gas velocity measurement is necessary during $SF_6$ gas circuit breaker's trip operation. Small-gap flashover characteristics are used for this hot gas velocity measurement. This study sho was the hot gas velocity measurement results during $SF_6$ gas circuit breaker' trip operation.

Globally, oil-filled paper-insulated cables and cross-linked polyethylene-insulated cables have been mainly applied for a underground power transmission line. The oil-filled cable has the hydraulic system in which insulating oil, expanded and contracted by temperature changes, is absorbed and supplied. This system enable us to detect oil leakages from the cable. But it has some problems such as difficulty in detecting minor leakages and a relatively long period of fault detecting. And so, this paper introduce a new leakage detection system, improved from the current one.

In order to design the current carrying conductor for GIS, it is important to predict temperature-rise when rated current flows. This paper deals with the coupling of Flux2D and analytic method to calculate the heat transfer coefficient. Heat transfer by conduction and convection is considered between the current carrying conductor and $SF_6$ gas. The result shows reasonable temperature distribution.

Globally, movements for an environmental preservation have been further extended in all the areas of industries. In the manufacturing area. environment-friendly properties for all the manufactured products are increasingly required by many national standards. For EHV oil-filled cables. Hard Alkylbenzen has been applied as an impregnated insulating oil. But as it flows into the soil during failures, such as oil leakage, the oil is not dissolved by microbes and then causes an environmental pollution. Recently some countries are increasingly requiring Soft Alkylbenzen which is dissolved by microbes. This paper describes the electrical and environmental properties of Soft Alkylbenzen. applied for a 230kV oil-filled cables at a Singapore's project.

Insulation layers in XLPE power cables may have some patterns generated in the manufacturing process. They are called 'flow patterns' and show flow history of molten polyethylene between inner and outer semiconducting layers. Flow patterns are even seen with naked human eyes and suspected to be inhomogeniety of insulation, weakening insulation performance. Investigated in this paper is electrical treeing resistance and ac breakdown strength according to flow patterns. Experiments of electrical treeing and ac breakdown strength by means of ramp tests were conducted using newly developed electrode system with point-to-plane structure and sphere-to-sphere structure, respectively. All results were analyzed with the application of statistics, showing little differences.
