HVDC transmission systems can be configured in many ways to take into account cost, flexibility and operational requirements. [1] For long-distance transmission, HVDC systems may be less expensive and suffer lower electrical losses. For underwater power cables, HVDC avoids the heavy currents required to charge and discharge the cable capacitance of each cycle. For shorter distances, the higher cost of DC conversion equipment compared to an AC system may still be warranted, due to other benefits of direct current links. HVDC allows power transmission between unsynchronized AC transmission systems. Since the power flow through an HVDC link can be controlled independently of the phase angle between the source and the load, it can stabilize a network against disturbances due to rapid changes in power. HVDC also allows the transfer of power between grid systems running at different frequencies, such as 50 Hz and 60 Hz. This improves the stability and economy of each grid, by allowing the exchange of power between incompatible networks. This paper proposed to establish Korean HVDC technology through a cooperative agreement between KEPCO and LSIS in 2010. During the first stage (2012), a design of the ${\pm}80kV$ 60MW HVDC bipole system was created by both KEPCO and LSIS. The HVDC system was constructed and an operation test was completed in December 2012. During the second stage, the pole#2 system was fully replaced with components that LSIS had recently developed. LSIS also successfully completed the operation test. (2014.3)

제주-해남간 HVDC 변환설비는 제주 전력수요의 약 40%를 담당하는 주요 설비로, 국내에서는 처음으로 도입되어 상용 운전중인 직류송전 설비이다. 10년간의 변환설비 운전중에 크고 작은 고장이 많이 발생하였으며 PCB Card에 의한 고장은 전체 고장의 약 30%를 차지하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 해남변환소에서 사용중인 VBE (Valve Base Electronics : Thyristor 점호 제어반) Cubicle에 설치된 Databack PCB Card 점검장비 개발내용을 설명하였다. 이 장비 사용시 설비사고 및 고장의 원인을 줄일 수 있고, 카드의 연도별 이력관리를 할 수 있다. 또한 Card의 경년열화 특성을 파악하여 교체시기를 판단할 수 있고 Card 시험시간의 단축이 가능하다. 상기 이외에 점검기술에 대하여 기존 방식과 비교하고 시험기 개발 및 운영사항에 대하여 기술하고자 한다.
