In order to safely use thermoplastic (TP) cables in high-voltage direct current (HVDC) systems, it is necessary to analyze the life loss rate of the cable due to system fault that may occur during operation through various research and tests. In this paper, we analyzed the insulation life loss rate of TP cable according to the type of faults that may occur during HVDC system operation. Electric power due to fault was applied to the TP cable model, and the life loss rate of the insulator was analyzed by applying the Arrhenius-Inverse Power Model (IPM) based on the analysis results through the 2D finite element method. As a result of the analysis, the life loss rate of the insulator was highly influenced by the electric field strength, and the loss rate was highest inside the insulator when a fault occurred. These results can be used as important characteristics in the early design stage for commercialization of TP cables.

From the instant of installation and operation, power cables start deteriorating. Cable systems can be maintained not only by monitoring the insulation status of the insulation layer and oversheath, but also the insulation status of the terminal and junction in high-voltage power cables. When the cable system (the cable itself and cable junctions combined) deteriorates, fire accidents happen due to dielectric breakdowns. We have invented a device to monitor the deteriorating status of cables, and installed it at Korea Western Power Co. Ltd. located in Taean, Chungcheongnam-do Province. In this paper, we present the results obtained using our device, through analysing and calculating the standard deviation of leakage current from cable insulators attached to the cables. When the standard deviation of analysed leakage current falls below a critical value, a cable system is deemed to be operating safely. But when the standard deviation of analysed leakage current is larger than the critical value, the insulation status of the terminal and junction in the cable system is considered to have seriously deteriorated. The terminal and junction in the relevant system should then be replaced preemptively in order to prevent blackout accidents of cables caused by the suspension of power supply.

$SF_6$ 가스로 절연된 GIS(Gas Insulation Switchgears)는 매우 신뢰성이 높은 것으로 평가되어왔다. 그러나 GIS 내부에서 발생하는 결함에 대하여 완전하게 배제시키지 못하고 있으며, 이러한 부분방전 활동에 의한 대부분의 결함들이 GIS의 사고를 이끈다고 알려져 있다[1]. 따라서, GIS 내부에서 발생하는 부분방전 현상의 위치와 측정은 1940년대 초반부터 관심을 가져왔으며, 현재에는 부분방전 형태의 패턴이 사용된 부분방전 검출회로 및 신호의 전파와는 무관하다는 것을 알아낸 시점에 이르렀다. 이에 따라, 본 논문에서는 $SF_6$ 가스가 봉입된 GIS 내부에서 발생하는 부분방전 형태의 패턴인식을 위한 방법으로 NN(Neural Network)의 알고리즘 중 BP(Back-Propagation) 알고리즘을 이용하였다.

Breakdown characteristics of insulator-liquid nitrogen ($LN_2$) composite insulation for resistor type High $T_c$/ superconducting fault current limiter (HTSFCL) under ac and impulse voltage in $LN_2$ has been studied using model electrode systems. Electrodes for model electrode systems were made of SUS 304 contacted fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) and Au coated sapphire. The breakdown characteristics of model electrode systems were investigated experimentally for FRP thickness ranging from 1 mm to 5 mm. surface distance ranging from 2.5 mm to 7 mm and electrode gap ranging from 1 to 5 mm. The experimental data suggested that the breakdown voltage of model electrode systems in $LN_2$ is highly dependent on the surface distance, electrode gap as well as on the FRP thickness. Also, we had observed discharge traces and puncture due to high-voltage 60-Hz AC stress.

In mechanical systems in which the dynamics of armatures is dominated by electrostatic forces, motions will generally be unstable. This paper deals with the control problems of this kind of micro electrostatic device systems. In these systems, the mass of micro mechanical parts is so small that the inertia term in the equation of motion is negligible. However, nonlinear terms, such as friction and driving force, become dominant. The purpose of this paper is to realize the stable motion without delay and, overshoot etc. A micro-mechanical system used in this paper consists of a plane wafer with striped electrodes converted with an insulation layer and thin cylindrical roller is placed over on it. The performance of motions is confirmed by some simulations.

The paper considers the relation between on-line monitoring and diagnostics on the one hand and high-voltage (HV) withstand and partial discharge (PD) on-site testing on the other. HV testing supplies the basic data (fingerprints) for diagnostics. In case of warnings by on-line diagnostic systems, off-line withstand and PD testing delivers the best possible information about defects and enables the classification of the risk. Because alternating voltage (AC) is the most important test voltage, the AC generation on site is considered. Frequency tuned resonant (ACRF) test systems are best adapted to on-site conditions. They can be simply combined with PD measuring equipment. The available ACRF test systems and their application to electric power equipment -from cable systems to power transformers - is introduced.

The deterioration analysis of electric systems in diesel electric locomotives, which were used for over 30 years, was performed to understand current wear and safety information. The electric systems include electric generation, traction motors, control units, high-voltage cables, and wires. In this investigation, various types of performance testing, such as insulation resistance measurement and degradation tests, were conducted to assess the degree of current deterioration. Moreover, an infrared camera was employed to verify abnormal heating in cables and wires. In this paper, the new techniques for evaluation of deterioration in electric systems have been introduced.

With a development of modern industry, demand for electric power is rapidly increasing and the capacity of power transfer is required to become bigger and bigger. At power station, the high-voltage power cable is used as the only method in order to transfer electric power. In this paper, we have analyzed the deterioration characteristics of 6.6kV power cable systems in operation. For the time duration of 2000 days, we have measured the cable in operation in order to extract the data for the deterioration characteristics. By analyzing the data by means of several steps of filtering processes, we could obtain the linear relations of insulation resistances as a function of time. Furthermore, we can verify that the progress characteristics in deterioration process of 6.6kV power cable systems follows the process of heat deterioration.

Ungrounded power systems are adopted onboard vessels which enable more stabilized power supply even in case of electric leakage to hull. If earthing faults happen at these systems, they make grounding impedances of power lines unbalanced each other on the three phases, resulting in high voltages to hull which can bring more possibilities of electric shocks and electric fires. This study focuses on how to configure a calculation module for transferring a grounded condition by lowered insulation resistance into a vector diagram of the voltages to hull. By using the module, the loci of neutral points were acquired to analyze how voltages to hull are affected by earthing faults and the distributed capacitances between power lines and hull. The suggested module was simulated and compared to the measured values from a test power system in good results.

This study is to research technical measures for improving energy efficiency in the conservation and reuse of historic buildings focused on the recent research trends and case studies of the west. These measures are broadly classified into three types, the passive measures for saving energy and increasing comfort, the most cost-effective energy saving strategies, and the renewable energy sources. Firstly, the passive measures are divided into the elements and systems. The passive elements are awnings and overhanging eaves, porches, shutters, storm windows and doors, and shade trees. There are also the natural ventilation systems such as the historic transoms, roofs and attics to improve airflow and cross ventilation to either distribute, or exhaust heat. Secondly, the most cost-effective energy efficiency strategies are the interior insulation, airtightness and moisture protection, and the thermal quality improvement of windows. The energy efficiency solutions of modern buildings are the capillary-active interior insulation, the airtightness and moisture protection of interior walls and openings, and the integration of the original historic window into the triple glazing. Beyond the three actions, the additional strategies are the heat recovery ventilation, and the illumination system. Thirdly, there are photovoltaic(PV) and solar thermal energy, wind energy, hydropower, biomass, and geothermal energy in the renewable energy sources. These energy systems work effectively but it is vital to consider its visual effect on the external appearance of the building.
