KEPCO signed up with LS CABLE as a contractor for HVDC submarine cable construction in February 2009. The desk research has been completed in may 2009. Also, Cable route and the protection method will be selected by November 2009. The tentative cable route between Jindo and Jeju which is consisted of sea farms and shipping route zone will reach almost 105km. The oceanographic survey for the selection of protection method will be carried out and the survey lists are consisted of MBES, SSS, CPT, ADSP. The protection methods such as burial, Concrete Mattress, UP Pipe, Rock Berm will be selected as per each condition of sea area after the oceanographic survey is completed. Kepco has developed variable methods based on the maintenance experience for HVDC submarine cable between HAENAM and JEJU. Based on the such a accumulated know-how, it can be expected for the confidence and stability of the 2nd HVC project to be improved.

In this paper, a fault location algorithm using wavelet transform is proposed for HVDC cable lines. The arriving instants of the first and second fault-induced backward travelling waves can be detected by using wavelet transform. The fault distance is estimated by using the time difference between the two instants of backward travelling waves and the velocity of the travelling wave. To distinguish between the backward wave from fault point and the backward wave from the remote end, polarities of backward waves are used. The proposed algorithm is verified varying with fault distances and fault resistances in underground cables of VSC(voltage source converter) HVDC system and CSC(Current Source Converter) HVDC respectively. Performance evaluations of the proposed algorithm shows that it has good ability for a fault location of HVDC cable faults.

1970년대 이후 반도체 기술의 발달로 Thyristor Valve 가 기존의 Mercury Arc Valve를 대체 하면서 HVDC 기술이 급격히 향상되고 교류송전에 비해 직류송전이 갖는 여러 가지 이점 때문에 최근 HVDC 송전이 점점 증가하고 있는 추세에 있다. 본 연구에서는 2000년에 발표된 CIGRE 189.의 "800kV급까지의 HVDC 송전케이블의 전기적 평가 권고안" 에 준하여, 제조된 케이블의 전기적 평가를 위한 고전압 임펄스 중첩회로를 모듈별로 구성하고 그 회로의 동작을 시뮬레이션 프로그램으로 모의하고 전기적 시험회로의 구성가능성을 평가하였다.

The ageing of XLPE cable insulation will lead to the accelerating accumulation of space charge, which will greatly affect the safe operation of the HVDC cable. In order to investigate the influence of different ageing modes on the space charge distribution of the HVDC cable, thermal stressed, electrical stressed and electro-thermal stressed endurance tests were carried out on the XLPE peelings. The tested XLPE peelings were obtained from 160kV HVDC cable insulation. The endurance tests were carried at thermal stress of 363K, electrical stress of 20kV/mm DC and a combination of both. The Pulsed Electro-Acoustic (PEA) method was used to measure the space charge distribution of the samples. The influences of ageing on the trap energy distribution were analyzed based on the isothermal relaxation theory and the decay characteristics of the space charge. The results showed that thermal ageing would help to improve the crystalline morphologies of the XLPE at the early stage. The total amount of space charge decreased compared to the ones before thermal ageing. The long term of electrical stress would result in the cleavage of polymer molecule chains which would intensify the accumulation of space charge and increase the density and depth of electron traps. With a combination of electrical and thermal stress, the injection and migration of space charge were more significant. Besides, the depth and density of electron traps increased rapidly with the increase of endurance time.

This study presents a novel monitoring technique for underwater high-voltage direct current (HVDC) cables based on the Distributed Acoustic Sensor (DAS). The proposed technique utilizes vibration and acoustic signals generated on HVDC cables to monitor their condition and detect events such as earthquakes, shipments, tidal currents, and construction activities. To implement the monitoring system, a DAS based on phase-sensitive optical time-domain reflectometry (Φ-OTDR) system was designed, fabricated, and validated for performance. For the HVDC cable monitoring experiments, a testbed was constructed on land, mimicking the cable burial method and protective equipment used underwater. Defined various scenarios that could cause cable damage and conducted experiments accordingly. The developed DAS system achieved a maximum measurement distance of 50 km, a distance measurement interval of 2 m, and a measurement repetition rate of 1 kHz. Extensive experiments conducted on HVDC cables and protective facilities demonstrated the practical potential of the DAS system for monitoring underwater and underground areas.

This work examines the effects of swelling MI type HVDC cable oil on the semiconductive silicone rubber and silicone rubber as used in accessories for application on outdoor termination (EBA) slip on sleeve. The behavior of volume resistivity is monitored as a function of the amount of cable oil diffused into the material. Resistivities of semiconductive silicone samples up to the typical insulator range (${\sim}10^{10}{\Omega}-cm$) are observed as a consequence of swelling due to the presence of the diffused oil. The measured volume resistivities of the oil-impregnated semiconductive silicone rubber are compared to desired value as function of stress relief cone.

KEPCO has been operating since March 1998 a HVDC link between Cheju Island and the mainland that it constructed to save high generation cost & ensure the system stability and the supply of electric power of Cheju island (approximately 100km from south of mainland). The purpose of this study is to consider the complete maintenance of the HVDC Submarine Cable after its construction in 1997 while proposing future direction for the stable operation of the HVDC Submarine Cable.

This paper performs TDR real test for measurement of propagation velocity on #1 Pole of HVDC submarine cable section between Jeju and Haenam, and then measured velocity is compared with theoretical value and velocity provided from manufacturer. The measured velocity is also validated from theoretical process based on CIGRE simplified approach. In this paper, the fault location algorithm using multi-scale correlation of SWT(stationary wavelet transform) and travelling wave is additionally proposed for HVDC submarine cable system, it includes fault signal filter for noise cancellation. Finally, the measured velocity is validated from proposed fault location algorithm test once more.

ITVDC 해저케이블의 절연은 주로 지절연물(紙絶緣物)에 고점도의 컴파운드를 강제함침(mass-impregnation)하여 제조된다. 이러한 강제 함침 작업은 제조 공정 중 가장 긴 시간이 소요되며, 케이블의 절연 특성을 결정하는 중요한 요소가 된다. 그러나 함침은 복잡한 물리현상이며, 함침이 진행되는 동안 케이블의 내부 상태를 직접 관찰하기 곤란하다. 따라서 기존의 제조 경험을 바탕으로 작업조건에 충분한 안전율을 적용하는 실정이다. 이와 같은 강제함침 작업조건을 합리화하면 공정에 소요되는 시간뿐 아니라 함침조건을 조정하여 케이블 절연 특성의 향상까지 기대할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 당사가 HVDC 해저케이블 개발과정에서 함침에 관한 이론적 검토와 간이 함침실험을 통해 정립한 함침조건에 대해 기술하였다.

HVDC(High Voltage Direct Current) is an underwater cable between Jeju Island and Haenam in main land and supplies approximately $50\%$ of electrical usage in Jeju Island. If there is any power failure due to HVDC, it will cost approximately 50,000 US dollars per day including Thermal Electrical Generation. Therefore it is absolutely necessary to recover the problem in rapid timely basis. Present survey method in Korea is done by scuba diver with air cylinder resulting very poor visual inspection. Other option is by only visual camera attached on miniature ROV for solely suey Purpose. This method does not includeburial depth of cable, cable position, cable condition & etc??‥‥.??? In result, current method does not generate any scientific or sophisticated data which does not allow any intelligent management decision. In conclusion, new method and new systems are needed urgently to upgrade current HVDC underwater cable survey technique in Korea to minimize the cost and time factors.
