Typically, large scale power generation facilities are linked to 345kV transmission line through a step-up transformer. If the value of transient voltage by generating lightning stroke is large more than electric equipment's BIL, devices insulation is destroyed. LA(Lighting Arrester) is used as a main means of prevention. However, the installation of LA takes the constraints of installation place and expensive installation costs. Therefore, we need to carefully study whether installation of installation can be omitted and the most efficient place of installation. In this paper, we simulated the transient voltage detected by lightning stroke at each equipments in the 345kV transmission power grid by using EMTP-RV program.

The on-line partial discharge (PD) in stator windings of air-cooled gas turbine (GT) generator (119.2MVA, 13.8kV) is measured and analyzed in this paper. This generator was designed by global vacuum pressure impregnation (VPI). The generator failed two times at top bar (16T) of phase B in the stator slot. Six epoxy-mica capacitors were installed in three phases of GT generator. On-line PD test was performed on GT generator using turbine generator analyzer (TGA). TGA showed that the normalized quantity number (NQN) and the PD magnitude($Q_m$) were high in phase B. Internal discharges were generated in phases A, B and C. The trend analysis of NQN and $Q_m$ value are obtained in order to monitor the insulation condition in GT generator stator windings. Phases A and C were in good condition. But phase B had deteriorated significantly

This paper presents the experimental results of impulse breakdown characteristics in $SF_6/N_2$ gas mixtures under a highly non-uniform electric field with a change in temperature. The test temperature ranges from -25[$^{\circ}C$] to 25[$^{\circ}C$]. The processes of impulse preliminary breakdown developments were analyzed by the measurements of current pulse and luminous signals. As a result, the temperature dependance of breakdown voltage for the negative polarity was much stronger than that for the positive polarity. When increasing the temperature, The leader stepping time for the negative polarity was shown to be longer than that for the positive polarity. The results presented in this paper can be used as a useful information in designing the gas insulation lines with prominent ability for lightning surge.

It is well known that a partial-discharge(PD) in insulation oil is the source of various physical and chemical phenomena, such as heat, light, gas, chemical transformation, electric current, electromagnetic radiation and ultrasonics. The PD can be detected by measuring one of these changes. Although some techniques are employed in this purpose, several obstacles interfere with an on-line measurement. Ultrasonic-wave detection is a useful method for the diagnosis of the transformer-insulation condition. Conventionally, ulyrasonic waves are detected by Piezo-electric transducer, but we use optical method that has many advantages. In this paper, we constructed a Mach-Zehnder interferometer with optical fiber and investigated the principle of operation. Test arrangement is based on the needle-plane electrode system in oil and applied AC high voltage. Ultrasonic waves were detected and analyzed with wavelet transform.

The owner of underground metallic structures (gas pipeline, oil pipeline, water pipeline, etc) has a burden of responsibility for the corrosion protection in order to prevent big accidents like gas explosion, soil pollution, leakage and so on. So far, Cathodic Protection(CP) technology have been implemented for protection of underground systems. The stray current from DC subway system in Korea has affected the cathodic protection (CP) design of the buried pipelines adjacent to the railroads. In this aspect, KERI has developed a various mitigation method, drainage system through steel bar under the rail, a stray current gathering mesh system, insulation method between yard and main line, distributed ICCP(Impressed Current Cathodic System), High speed response rectifier, restrictive drainage system, Boding ICCP system. We installed the mitigation system at the real field and test of its efficiency in Busan and Seoul, Korea. In this paper, the results of field test, especially, distributed ICCP are described.

Power transformers have a tendency of ultra-high voltage capacity as power demand increases day after day KEPCO also will have plan to supply transmission power from 345KV to 765KV in the early of 2000. Therefore, the fault by insulation destruction gives rise to large area of power failure in huge capacity transformers. On-line predictive diagnostics is very important in power transformers because of economic loss and its spreading effect. This study presents the algorithm for transformer oil analysis used KEPCO code, IEC code, gas pattern method and Dornenburg & Roger Ratio method. We also describe the MMI display of expert system programmed by Element Expert Tool(Neuron Data Inc.).

Because of the continuous growth of energy consumption, and also tile tendency to site power lines and pipelines along the same routes, the close proximity of high voltage structures and metallic pipelines has become more and more frequent. Recently, the results of assessment about a system integrity are needed in korea also when a gas pipeline is running parallel with high voltage power line in same submarine tunnel, Therefore, we analyze the system integrity(AC corrosion of pipe, melting of pipeline coating, safety of insulation flange, especially cathodic protection system which are rectifier and CI(cathodic Isolator)) resulting from the influence of high voltage power system.

As demand of electric power are growing and transmission line limited owing to enlargement of the downtown area The eonfidence of underground transmission cable which shows gradual growth are high. It is found whether insulating ability is good or not. In this paper, The exper iment result is shown that the fall of insulating ability and take preventive measure through the analysis of tans, water content, dielectric breakdown voltage, total acid number, volume resistivity , and gas in the oil in an accordance with the characteristic change of oil used very much for insulating oil of cable.

Rigid polyurethane foams(PUFs) are widely used in most areas of insulations such as storage tank and pipe line for transporting liquefied gas. Glass fiber and nanoclay are used for improvement in mechanical property and thermal insulation of rigid PUF at very low temperature(<$-150^{\circ}C$). These rigid PUFs have been characterized in terms of thermal, mechanical, dynamic mechanical properties and cell morphology. It was found that mechanical properties, thermal conductivity and dimensional stability of rigid PU foams were improved by glass fiber and nanoclay.

A shorted-turn test was performed at the Pyungtaek combined cycle power plant on gas turbine generators. The test was conducted using a permanent flux probe and on-line shorted-turn diagnosis system. The permanent flux probe installed in the generator air gap senses the field winding slot leakage flux and produces a voltage proportional to the rate of change signature unique to each field winding. We have also applied a voltage waveform analysis technique that can identify the pole location, slot number and number of shorted-turn with each slot.
