사회에서 지대한 관심과 논란의 대상이 되고 있는 한전의 고압전력 설비 중 송전선에서 발생하는 ELF(Extremely Low Frequency)전자계 저감을 위한 사회적비용의 계량화에 관한 연구를 하였다. 송전선로에서 발생되는 극저주파 전자계와 토지가격 사이의 관계론 규명하는 본 연구는 분서의 틀로서 극저주파 전자계 저감을 위한 다양한 기법에 대해서 제시하였다. 또한 다양한 황경가치 평가기법을 비교 분석한 결과, 헤도닉가격법이 가장 적정한 것으로 판단되어 이 분석법을 본 연구의 주된 분석도구로 삼고자 한다. 최근 환경질의 가치평가 기법으로 가장 광범위하게 사용되고 있는 기법중 하나인 헤도닉가격법은 기본적으로 주택, 토시 같은 재화는 그 자체가 가진 물리적 특성뿐만 아니라 외적인 환경 등 다양한 특성으로 이루어진 차별적 재화(differentiated product)라는 헤도닉가설(hedonic hypothesis)을 전제로 한다.

In this paper, the design parameters for the magnetic field source at extremely low frequency are proposed. This facility can be used for in vivo experiments with small animals to investigate biological response to the driving magnetic fields. In case that the exposed animals are motionless, the animals may be affected by the directivity of driving field. To avoid this effect, a 2-axis ELF magnetic field driving apparatus was designed, The optimum location and number of turns of each coil were obtained by numerical analysis. Applying these data to the MATLAB code (for computation), the magnetic field distribution was obtained. The calculation result for a well-designed facility showed that the space in which the amplitude of the magnetic field lies within the 95% of the magnetic field distribution was more than 60% of each axis length.

송전선로 아래에서의 전기장과 자기장의 계산은 2013년 밀양 송전탑 사건에서 볼 수 있듯이 매우 중요한 문제로 대두되고 있다. 공간을 전파해 나가는 전자파의 특성과는 다르게 5~60Hz의 매우 낮은 주파수(ELF: Extremely Low Frequency)로 송전을 하는 송전선로에서는 발생원으로부터 거리에 따라 반비례하여 그 크기가 작아지는 정전기장 및 정자기장을 발생시킨다. 하지만 수백 kV의 높은 송전전압 때문에 주변에서의 전기장 자기장의 값이 매우 크게 되고 이로 인한 논란이 많기 때문에 정확한 정량적 해석이 불가피한 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 수백 kV로 송전되는 송전선로에서 발생 하는 전기장과 자기장을 해석적으로 계산하고 지면으로 부터 특정한 높이에 따라 전기장 자기장이 어떻게 변화 하는지에 대한 결과를 분석 하였다. 송전 선하에 전기장 및 자기장의 분포는 MATLAB을 통해서 계산 되었다.

Recently, Peoples are exposed the ELF(Extremely Low Frequency) magnetic fields in the vicinity of underground transmission lines, and there are the generally accepted opinion that the magnetic fields affect the human body and there are possibility of the disease. Also in relation to this problem, technical solution methods and research are advanced for reducing the magnetic fields. In this paper, to practically understand the magnetic fields underground transmission lines, We analyze the electromagnetic field distribution in the underground transmission lines by means of FEM(Finite Element Methods) and present that improvement of the effective shielding methods by applying cable arrangements and shielding materials, eddy current problem to the underground transmission lines by means of the numerical analysis Tool.

Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluate exposure levels of the extremely low frequency magnetic fields(ELF-MF) radiated from various electric facilities in Liquid Crystal Display(LCD) manufacturing processes. Methods: This study measured the exposure levels of personal and local ELF-MF for the electronic facilities installed in two LCD manufacturing companies. Samplers were installed around workers' waist during working hours to identify personal exposure levels, and direct reading equipment were located at 3 cm, 10 cm, and 30 cm away from the surface of the electronic facilities to measure local exposure levels. Average and maximum(ceiling) values were calculated for personal and local exposure levels. Results: Average and maximum of personal exposure levels for each worker were 0.56(mean) ± 0.02(SE) µT and 6.31 ± 0.75 µT, respectively. Statistical analyses of the study found that maximum of the personal exposure levels for engineers was significantly higher than that for operators since engineers spend more time near the electronic facilities for repairing. The range of maximum personal exposure levels was 0.50 ~ 43.50 µT and its highest level was equivalent to 4.35 % of ACGIH(American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists) exposure limit value(1 mT). Maximum of local exposure levels was 8.18 ± 0.52 µT and the electronic facilities with higher exposure levels were roof rail and electric panel, which were not related to direct manufacturing. The range of maximum local exposure levels was 0.60 ~ 287.20 µT and its highest level was equivalent to 28.7 % of the ACGIH exposure limit value. Lastly, the local exposure levels significantly decreased as the measurement distance from the electronic facilities increased. Conclusions: Maximum of personal and local exposure levels did not exceed the exposure limit value of ACGIH. However, it is recommended to keep the workers as far as possible from the sources of ELF-MF.

Four countries are participating in exposure assessment for Mobi-Kids Study. Each country evaluates RF and ELF exposure from mobile phones considering telecommunication system and environment in the corresponding area. The results will be used to determine accumulation exposure level of each subject in case and control groups to assess the potential carcinogenic effects of childhood and adolescent exposure to radio frequency(RF) and extremely low frequency( ELF) from mobile phones on the central nervous system. This paper analyzes exposure types of mobile phones which have been used in Korea for about 10 years, based on Mobi-Kids protocol. It includes investigation of mobile phone models released in the domestic market, design of numerical phone models to represent each exposure type, and measurement of ELF radiation from mobile phones.

This paper analysed the induced current density characteristics inside human body by extremely low frequency magnetic fields according to varying conductivities of human model. Human model was composed of several organs and other parts of 곳 human body, whose shapes were spheroids or cylinders. Organs taken into account were the brain, heart, lungs, liver and intestines. Applying the boundary element method to the human model, effects of the organ conductivity difference to the induced current distribution were estimated.

This paper deals with the optimal design of a shield plate in order to minimize Extremely-Low-Frequency(ELF) magnetic fields generated from three-phase bus bars. Combining an evolutionary strategy with a 3D finite element analysis tool, the main dimensions of the shield plate are sought out. The optimization procedure consists of two separated design stages to take into account all foreseen structures of the plate. In the first stage, the basic dimensions of the plate are optimized including the distance between the plate and the bus bars. Then the usefulness of the additional structures such as a slit and fillet is investigated in the second stage. Finally the optimum design of the shield plate is suggested from the viewpoint of the shielding effectiveness and manufacturing cost.

This study was executed for the purpose of investigation of the EMFs exposures of personal and electronic environment. This study examines ELF-EMFs of electric appliances, subways and occupational and non-occupational human exposures, using EMDEX II (for 40 - 800Hz, Enertech Consultant, Inc.), from October 1995 to March 1996. Among the electric appliances examined, a massage unit showed the highest mean value of 247.07 $\mu$T, followed by an electric blanket of 5.24 $\mu$T. Indoor levels of EMF in subways exceerlcd 0.2 $\mu$T of the Swedish Guideline. The mean personal exposure levels of occupational group were 0.18 $\mu$T, while the personal EMF level of non-occupational group were 0.07 $\mu$T. Occupational group were exposed more highly while at work. However, the EMF levels during nonwork and sleep exposures between occuptional group and nonoccupational group were about the same. Estimates of time-intergrated exposure indicated that utility-specipic job classifications received about one-half or more of their total exposure on the job. Finally, this study would provide significant data for future research for exposure to magnetic fields, and more detailed study and research are necessary.

Shielding methods on ELF(Extremely Low Frequency) magnetic fields may include the use of induced currents, modification of magnetic field flux patterns using high permeability and/or high conductivity materials, and others. The magnetic shielding properties of enclosures can be utilized to reduce the magnetic field of current carrying conductors. In this paper, to get a more practical understanding of shielding phenomena, we have investigated the magnetic field reduction by means of 3 dimensional numerical analysis and experiments. We found copper could reduce flux density more then permalloy in both cases of box shield and cylindrical shield. Iron under l0$\mu$T of 1 phase could reduce flux density about $20\%$ more than silicon steel, but both of them under 50$\mu$T has a similar reduction rate of $10\%$. The 3 phase horizontal model gave the highest reduction rate and the 1mm thickness iron under 10$\mu$T of 3 phase lines did lowest.
