OF 케이블의 예상 설계 수명인 30년이 도달하면서 고장 위험성이 증가하고 있다. 따라서 정확한 진단을 통한 열화 판정으로 장기 운용 OF 케이블을 적기에 진단함으로써 고장을 예방해야 한다. 또한 최적의 진단기준을 제시하여 잔류 수명을 예측하고 적절한 시기에 교체하는 조치가 요구되고 있다. 현재 한국전력공사에서는 OF 케이블을 진단하기 위해서 주기적으로 케이블 유중 가스분석을 실시하여 C₂H₂, TCG 등 일부 가스만 활용하고 있다. 하지만 이러한 유중 가스분석에서 확인되는 가스는 절연지뿐만 아니라 오일의 열화에 의해서도 발생된다. OF 케이블은 해체점검이 불가하기 때문에 절연지의 수명이 OF 케이블의 수명으로 간주되고 있다. 따라서 절연지를 직접적으로 분석하는 절연지 중합도 평가와 절연유중 퓨란화합물을 분석이 필요하며, 유중 가스분석에서 확인되는 CO, H₂, CH₄, C₂H₄, C₂H₆, C₂H₂ 가스와 상관관계를 확인할 필요가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 절연유중 가스를 분석하기 위해 headspace sampler가 장착된 GC를 사용하였고, 절연지 중합도는 자동점도계를 활용하였으며, 절연유중 퓨란화합물은 HPLC를 이용하여 측정하였다. 또한 OF 케이블의 종합적인 판정을 위하여 국내 OF 케이블 중 15개소를 선정하여 해체점검을 수행하였다. 또한 이렇게 얻어진 결과는 최근 전력설비 이상판정에 도입되고 있는 SVM 기법에 적용하여 정확하고 신뢰성 있는 열화판정을 도출하고자 하였다. 그 결과 절연지 중합도 잔률은 CO와 CO₂ 농도의 합에 따라 음의 2차 함수 관계로 감소하는 것으로 확인되었다. 또한 본 연구에서 얻어진 한전 OF 케이블 진단결과를 SVM 기법에 적용함으로써 한전 OF 케이블 진단결과를 기존 일본 동경전력의 SVM에 적용한 진단결과보다 향상되었고, 그 정확도는 약 87.9% 인 것으로 확인되었다.

한국원자력연구원 내에 위치하는 방사성폐기물지하처분연구시설의 터널 내 벽면의 지반변위 및 온도 변화를 실시간으로 감시할 수 있는 시스템을 구축하였다. 이 시스템은 광섬유케이블(Optical Fiber Cable)의 Brillouin 산란현상을 이용하는 분포개념의 온도 및 변형율 측정기법(Distributed Temperature and Strain Sensor: DTSS)을 적용하는 기술이다. 2년여 동안 감시한 결과 터널 벽면 쇼크리트 표면에서 균열 등과 관련한 뚜렷한 벽면 변위 징후는 발견되지 않았다. 다만, 시간이 경과함에 따라 터널 내에서 지하수 누출 지점을 중심으로 벽면에서 변형의 누적 크기가 증대되어가는 경향을 보이나 그 크기는 미약하고 완만하게 진행함을 확인하였다. 계속적인 지하수에 의한 포화-습윤-건조 등의 현상이 반복되는 구간이나 포화상태에 있는 구간은 점진적으로 영향이 커질 것으로 예상된다. 광섬유센서케이블을 이용한 분포 개념의 측정 및 분석기술은 구조물의 특성에 따라 선택적 탄력적 적용이 가능하다. 변형률의 계측 범위는 $20{\mu}{\varepsilon}{\sim}28,000{\mu}{\varepsilon}$ 크기까지 변위 계측이 가능하다. 변형률의 해상도는 0.01mm로서 최소 매 1m 간격, 온도는 $0.01^{\circ}C$ 해상도를 가지고 최소 0.5m 간격으로 감시가 가능하다. 기존의 특정지점 계측방법(Point Sensing)과는 확연하게 차별된다. 현재까지 운영한 결과 본 감시시스템은 방사성폐기물 처분시설 등 공동과 사면의 장기감시시스템으로 적용 가능성을 확인하였다.

이 논문은 사용한지 13년 지난 운전 중 22 kV 케이블시스템을, 7년 동안 절연저항을 측정하여 그 결과를 연구한 논문이다. 우리는 발전소에서 설치 운전 중인 고전압 케이블이 시간에 따라 성능이 악화되는 현상의 추세를 결정하는 수명지수를 파악하였다. 위한 논문이다. 케이블 시스템은 시간에 따라 절연 저항이 감소한다. 초기 케이블 시스템은 아레니우스 열화 곡선을 따른다. 초기에는 수명 지수 n값이 9로 설계하였고, 이후 n값을 상향하여 16으로 결정하였다. 이유는 고전압에서 케이블이 동작할 경우, n값이 클 때 파괴특성이 높지 않고, n값이 낮은 값에서 파괴특성이 높았기 때문이다. 그러나 전압열화에 의하여 와이블 프롯을 따른 v-t 특성에 의하여 n값은 10~11의 값을 갖는 것을 확인하였다. 과거 케이블 설계 시 정한 n=9의 이론적 근거와 n=16 으로 높아진 원인을 파악함으로써 누설 전류 및 절연 저항의 선형적인 변화를 확인하였다. 단기적으로는 운전 중 케이블 시스템의 진단 평가에 활용되며, 장기적으로는 발전소 부하에서 동작 중인케이블 시스템의 설치 및 운영에 있어서 원가를 절감하기 위한 노력에 기여하고자 한다.

Long-term, continuous, and real-time ocean monitoring has been undertaken in order to evaluate various oceanographic phenomena and processes in the East/Japan Sea. Recent technical advances combined with our concerted efforts have allowed us to establish a real-time monitoring system and to accumulate considerable knowledge on what has been taking place in water properties, current systems, and circulation in the East Sea. We have obtained information on volume transport across the Korea Strait through cable voltage measurements and continuous temperature and salinity profile data from ARGO floats placed throughout entire East Sea since 1997. These ARGO float data have been utilized to estimate deep current, inertial kinetic energy, and changes in water mass, especially in the northern East Sea. We have also developed the East Sea Real-time Ocean Buoy (ESROB) in coastal regions and made continual improvements till it has evolved into the most up-to-date and effective monitoring system as a result of remarkable technical progress in data communication systems. Atmospheric and oceanic measurements by ESROB have contributed to the recognition of coastal wind variability, current fluctuations, and internal waves near and off the eastern coast of Korea. Long-tenn current meter moorings have been in operation since 1996 between Ulleungdo and Dokdo to monitor the interbasin deep water exchanges between the Japanese and Ulleung Basins. In addition, remotely sensed satellite data could facilitate the investigation of atmospheric and oceanic surface conditions such as sea surface temperature (SST), sea surface height, near-surface winds, oceanic color, surface roughness, and so on. These satellite data revealed surface frontal structures with a fairly good spatial resolution, seasonal cycle of SST, atmospheric wind forcing, geostrophic current anomalies, and biogeochemical processes associated with physical forcing and processes. Since the East Sea has been recognized as a natural laboratory for global oceanic changes and a clue to abrupt climate change, we aim at constructing a 4-D continuous real-time monitoring system, over a decade at least, using the most advanced techniques to understand a variety of oceanic processes in the East Sea.

In this paper, we investigate a filtering technique to reduce the adverse effect of long motor leads on H-bridge cascaded 7-level inverter fed ac motor drive. The switching surge voltage becomes the major cause to occur the insulation failure by serious voltage stress in the stator winding of high voltage induction motor. However, the effect of switching surge appears un seriousin high voltage induction motor than low voltage induction motor. Consequently, we demonstrated that the filter connected to the motor terminals greatly reduces the transient voltage stress and ringing, moreover we show lowers the dv/dt of the inverter switching pulse. The results of simulation show the suppression of dv/dt and the reduced peak voltage at the motor end of a long cable.

Silicone rubber is being used for the housing material of outdoor high voltage insulators such as composite insulator, bushing, surge arrestor and cable terminator because of good tracking and erosion resistance, good hydrophobicity and recovery of hydrophobicity and chemical stability. But, the leakge current occurs on surface of the composite polymeric insulation materials when the insulator is used for a long time with severe contaminative condition and it can lead the contamination flashover. So the leakage current is important to estimate the condition of the silicone rubber surface. In this paper, aging characteristics of silicone rubber used for outdoor insulation have been hydrophobicity of silicone rubber in salt fog chamber with average leakage current monitoring for observing the transformation of surface degradation properties of silicone rubber with different ATH(alumina trihydrate, A1$_2$O$_3$$.$3H$_2$O) filler contents. The experimental results show that a higher peak leakage current and to raise a long time for tracking with increasing amount of ATH by the salt fog and heat recycle ageing.

Recently, the polymeric insulators have been accepted in several countries for the outdoor high voltage applications. In comparison with the conventional porcelain, polymeric insulators offer various advantages such as light weight, superior vandal resistance and better contamination performance. The outdoor polymeric insulating materials such as silicone rubber, ethylene propylene diene monomer(EPDM), ethylene vinyl acetate(EVA) and epoxy are aged such as silicone rubber, ethylene propylene diene monomer(EPDM), ethylene vinyl acetate(EVA) and epoxy are aged under the various natural environment with the long-term performance in outdoor. In this paper, the effects of UV-under the various natural environment with the long-term performance in outdoor. In this paper, the effects of UV-ray on the surface of silicone rubber were investigated by using the weather-Ometer. The accelerated aging stresses were simulated by UV radiation, high temperature and humidity as well as water spray. These aging characteristics were examined through contact angle measurements, tracking resistance test, FT-IR and SEM/EDS analysis. The experimental results showed that tracking resistance decreases with increase in the UV-ray irradiation period. But the surface of silicone rubber kept hydrophobicity. It is found that the inorganic filler such as)$ Al(OH_3$ improves tracking resistance and the $Tio_2$is very effective in preventing degradation of silicone rubber surface from UV-ray.

The development of high performance HTS wire is a key factor for various electrical applications of coils and cables. The purpose of this paper is to review and consider the main manufacturing technologies of HTS wire and its current status. A lot of efforts have been focused on the optimization of PIT parameters for Bi-2223/Ag wire. According to this, long Bi-2223 wires having Ic of 130 A were recently produced and their mass production has been underway in US. The current status performance of Bi-2223 wire is supposed to be used in power transmission cable because of its lower self-field property. Y-123 second generation conductor is extensively being developed throughout the world and many fabrication processes are competed with each other. 30 m-long Y-123 wire with Ic of 0.8 MA/$\textrm{cm}^2$ was recently fabricated using IBAD and PLD techniques in Japan. This result offers promise of scalable processing of practical multi-layer coated conductor.

In the last decade, wireless sensor networks have emerged as a promising technology that could accelerate progress in the field of structural monitoring. The main advantages of wireless sensor networks compared to conventional monitoring technologies are fast deployment, small interference with the surroundings, self-organization, flexibility and scalability. These features could enable mass application of monitoring systems, even on smaller structures. However, since wireless sensor network nodes are battery powered and data communication is the most energy consuming task, transferring all the acquired raw data through the network would dramatically limit system lifetime. Hence, data reduction has to be achieved at the node level in order to meet the system lifetime requirements of real life applications. The objective of this paper is to discuss some general aspects of data processing and management in monitoring systems based on wireless sensor networks, to present a prototype monitoring system for civil engineering structures, and to illustrate long-term field test results.

Silicone rubber is being used for the housing material of outdoor high voltage insulators such as composite insulator, bushing, surge arrestor and cable terminator because of good tracking and erosion resistance, good hydrophobicity and recovery of hydrophobicity, and chemical stability. In this paper, tracking and erosion resistance of silicone rubber having fluids and different ATH contents were examined. Fluids were selected under the consideration of their molecular weight and chemical structure, expecting the high migration rate, the good pollutant encapsulation, and the long period with good hydrophobicity. Good tracking and erosion resistance and arc resistance have been achieved for the silicone rubber above ATH content 130 phr.
