The performance of transmission lines and its shielding design during a lightning phenomenon are quite essential in the maintenance of a reliable power supply to consumers. The leader progression model, as an advanced approach, has been recently developed to calculate the shielding failure rate (SFR) of transmission lines using geometrical data and physical behavior of upward and downward lightning leaders. However, such method is quite time consuming. In the present paper, an effective method that utilizes artificial neural networks (ANNs) to create a metamodel for calculating the SFR of a transmission line based on shielding angle and height is introduced. The results of investigations on a real case study reveal that, through proper selection of an ANN structure and good training, the ANN prediction is very close to the result of the detailed simulation, whereas the Processing time is by far lower than that of the detailed model.

특수구조물 중에서 특히 높은 독립적 구조물은 낙뢰에 의한 뇌격을 받을 가능성이 높다. 특수 구조물은 대체적으로 국가 산업시설물에 속하므로 낙뢰로 인한 피해는 사회적 경제적 손실이 막대하다. 이러한 낙뢰 피해 방지를 위해 낙뢰 보호시설을 설치하였으나 2015년도에 서해 대교의 지지케이블에 낙뢰로 인한 화재가 발생하여 많은 경제적 손실을 초래하였다. 이에 낙뢰 보호 시스템의 설계는 구조물에 낙뢰 위험을 분석 한 후 보호 조치를 수립해야한다. 뇌격에 대한 위험도 평가에 대한 국제적 규격은 국제전기기술위원회(IEC) 규격이 전 세계적인 규격의 근간을 이루고 있으며, 특히 해외 국가규격이나 기준은 IEC 기준으로 낙뢰 위험도 평가를 실시하여 낙뢰 보호대책시 적용하고 있다. 국내에서도 KS C IEC 62305 규격을 적용하여 위험성평가와 피뢰보강을 위한 기초자료로 활용하고, 낙뢰 보호 시스템을 설계한다. KSC IEC 측정방법으로 국내 특수교 리스크 평가에 대한 결과로는 물리적 손상 및 전자계시스템 위험 특수교는 평가대상 전체 교량 77개 교량 중 7개 교량에서 허용위험도가 높은 것으로 보고되었다. 본 논문에서는 높고 독립적 구조물의 위치에 따라 낙뢰 수에 대한 실제 정보 수집 시스템을 운영하는 모델링 시스템을 제안하기 위해 실제적인 낙뢰 정보를 분석하고 기상 관측소에서 제공 한 낙뢰수와 높은 구조물에 직접 도달하는 위험한 낙뢰 수를 비교하여 검증하는 방법을 검토하였으며, 지상에 직접적으로 도달한 낙뢰수에 따른 낙뢰위험도 산출시 확률적 보정률을 모니터링하여 적용함으로써 실효적인 낙뢰위험도 평가를 할 수 있도록 제안하고자 한다.

After flashover occurs on the overhead distribution line by lighting strokes(direct or induced), the power frequency arc current continues. If lightning flashover occurs on the overhead lines using covered conductors, the power frequency art current with fixed path overheats the conductor, and arc fusion fault can be occurred. There are two categories protecting or reducing methods of arc fusion faults caused by lightning stokes. - Reducing lightning flashover rate : G/W, LA, etc. - Protection by AFPD(Arc Fusion Protection Device) : power follow current interruption. This paper presents lightning surge phenomena on overhead distribution lines and protecting performance of arc fusion Protection devices to the lightning strokes nearby overhead line.

최근(2002-2006) 발생한 낙뢰의 빈도, 강도, 지속시간 및 낙뢰율의 시 공간적 특성을 분석하였다. 빈도는 경년변동이 크게 나타났으며, 여름과 겨울에 각각 전체 낙뢰의 75%, 0.6%가 발생하였다. 정극성 낙뢰는 우기(6-9월)에 부극성 낙뢰의 0.15 비율로 발생했으나 동계에는 그 비율이 증가하여 2월경에 부극성 낙뢰의 0.98까지 증가하였다. 낙뢰 지속시간은 여름에 집중되는 계절변동이 크게 나타났으나 낙뢰율의 변동은 이에 비해 작았다. 낙뢰는 새벽(2시, 5-7시)과 오후 중반(15시)에 두 번의 최대 빈도가 나타났으며 5시경에는 낙뢰강도가 강하였으나, 15시를 전후로 하는 오후 중반에는 낙뢰 강도가 약했다. 낙뢰밀도는 남한 서부 내륙 및 서 남해상에 높으며, 영동 및 동해지역은 낮았다. 충남 및 전북지역에서 0.4 이상으로 높게 나타났는데, 구름내 방전일 가능성이 있어 해석의 주의를 요한다. 낙뢰 밀도가 높은 서부내륙에서는 우기 낙뢰 지속시간이 연 평균 15-25시간으로 나타났으나, 서해상에서는 낙뢰 발생 시의 집중도가 높고 강도가 강하였다. 대부분의 내륙에서는 오후 중반에서 저녁 사이에 낙뢰 발생 빈도가 최대였으나 산악 및 해안, 중서부 지역은 각각 오전과 새벽에 최대로 발생하였다.

The metal oxide varistor (MOV) is a major component of the surge protection devices (SPDs) currently in use. The device is judged to be faulty when fatigue caused by the continuous inflow of lightning accumulates and reaches the damage limit. In many cases, induced lightning resulting from lightning strikes flows in to the device several times per second in succession. Therefore, the frequency or the rate at which the SPD is actually exposed to stress, called a surge, is outside the range of human perception. For this reason, the protective device should be replaced if it actually approaches the end of its life even though it is not faulty at present, currently no basis exists for making the judgment of remaining lifetime. Up to now, the life of an MOV has been predicted solely based on the number of inflow surges, irrespective of the magnitude of the surge current or the amount of energy that has flowed through the device. In this study, nonlinear data that shows the damage to an MOV depending on the count of surge and the amount of input current were collected through a high-voltage test. Then, a failure prediction algorithm was proposed by preparing a look-up table using the results of the test. The proposed method was experimentally verified using an impulse surge generator

This paper investigated the characteristics of transient overvoltages on the tower caused by time varying tower footing resistance in the path of lightning stroke current entering earth on transmission lines. The tower with time varying tower footing resistance was simulated and the transient overvoltageson the tower due to lightning stroke current were computer by Nodal Solution Method. From the results, it was found that the determination of the steady state values as a limit of inductive tower footing resistance causes higher transient overvoltages than CFO voltages of insulator strings and V-T characteristics of the insulator strings should be considered for computation of backflashover rate.

This paper describes the fault reducing effects of the 154 kV transmission tower by auxiliary grounding from the top of the tower to ground. The grounding surge impedance of the auxiliary grounding system is calculated by CDEGS(:Current Distribution Electromagnetic Interference Grounding and Soil Structure Analysis), and the critical lightning back flashover current and arcing horn dynamic characteristics are simulated by EMTP/TACS(:Electromagnetic Transient Program/Transient Analysis of Control Systems). The calculated results of total LFOR(Lightning Flashover Rate) shows that the LFOR can be reduced from 5.2(count/100km. year) to 3.4 by auxiliary grounding on the 154 kV transmission tower with one ground wire shielding system.

This paper describes the features of electric and magnetic fields produced by lightning discharges. The measuring system consists of fast electric field sensor, crossed-loop magnetic field sensors, signal processing circuit, A/D converter and data acquisition equipment with a 12bit resolution and 10[MS/s] sampling rate. The frequency bandwidth and responsitivity of the electric field measuring system were 40[Hz]${\sim}$2.6 [MHz] and 2.08 (V/m/mV) and those of the magnetic field measuring system were 400[Hz]${\sim}$1[MHz] and 2.78[nT/mV], respectively. The electric and magnetic fields produced by lightning discharges were observed, and the features and parameters of the waveforms were analyzed.

KEPCO has built, for the first time in the world, 765㎸ double circuit transmission lines which use vertically arranged phase conductor, while 765㎸ transmission lines in other countries are single circuit lines and use horizontally arranged phase conductor. System operating voltage, switching overvoltage, and lightning overvoltage were considered in determining the air gap. Recently, however, lightning outage rate of some 765㎸ transmission lines in KOREA shows that it is more than what is expected. Lightning fault of 765㎸ transmission lines is mostly single phase grounding fault which can be reclosed. But it still needs to be carefully managed, for the bulk system like 765㎸ transmission lines have huge effects on whole power system. This paper introduces analysis and countermeasure of KEPCO's 765㎸ transmission line lightning outage.

MOV(Metal Oxide Varistor) is the most important part of SPD(Surge Protective Device) which can protect electric facilities from an impulse current such as a lightning. So far, the fault of MOVs have decided only by surge count without considering magnitude of surge current and an amount of input energy. This paper proposed the fault prediction algorithm for the MOV using look up table made by surge count and input current data which have non-linear characteristics for input current and are estimated by high voltage experimental results. Proposed algorithm was proved by experiment on verification at a high voltage laboratory.
