The Korean distribution line currently consists of overhead ground wires (OHGW), overhead distribution lines, neutral wires (NW), and messenger wires (MW). The MW is installed under the NW. The lightning protection system in Korea is focused on OHGW and lightning arrester and the MW are not considered. Therefore, this paper proposes the applicability of MW for purpose of lightning protection. For this, we analyzed the effects of lightning overvoltage according to the existence of OHGW and MW and the grounding conditions of the MW in the Korean distribution system. The grounding conditions of the MW that we took into consideration were the common or separate grounding of the MW and NW. The analysis based on the equivalent circuit of the distribution pole at each condition was performed. The distribution lines and lightning were modeled using the Electromagnetic Transients Program (EMTP). For each of the installation conditions of the OHGW and MW, the various lightning conditions were simulated and analyzed for both direct and indirect lightning. The simulation results showed that, if the OHGW was not installed in the Korean distribution system, the lightning overvoltage could be reduced by the common grounding of the MW and NW.

For estimating the vortex excited vibrations of overhead transmission lines, the Energy Balance Principle (EBP) is well established for spans damped near the ends. Although it involves radical simplifications, the method is known to give useful estimates of the maximum vibration levels. For very long spans, there often is the need for a large number of in-span fittings, such as in-span Stockbridge dampers, aircraft warning spheres etc. This adds complexity to the problem and makes the energy balance principle in its original form unsuitable. In this paper, a modified version of EBP is described taking into account in-span damping and in particular also aircraft warning spheres. In the first step the complex transcendental eigenvalue problem is solved for the conductor with in-span fittings. With the thus determined complex eigenvalues and eigenfunctions a modified energy balance principle is then used for scaling the amplitudes of vibrations at each resonance frequency. Bending strains are then estimated at the critical points of the conductor. The approach has been used by the authors for studying the influence of in-span Stockbridge dampers and aircraft warning spheres; and for optimizing their positions in the span. The modeling of the aircraft warning sphere is also described in some detail.

가공전력선이 통과하는 지역에서 발생된 연소화염은 계통 섬락사고의 원인이 되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 연소화염에 의한 전력선의 절연내력 저하특성과 화염의 형상변화를 알아보기 위해, 직류 및 교류 전압 인가시 전력선을 모의한 대기압 공기 갭에 대한 섬락특성과 화염의 소화특성을 조사하였다. 실험 결과, 화염에 의한 섬락현상은 비교적 작은 갭에서 발생되었으며, 수평배치형 침대침 갭에서 교류 섬락전압의 상대값은 평균 37.3[%]인 것으로 나타나 화염이 없는 경우에 비해 크게 저하하였다. 갭 길이가 증가함에 따라 전극간 섬락이 발생되기 전에 침전극로부터 발생된 코로나풍에 의해 화염은 소화되는 현상이 나타났다.

Tower footing resistance and fault current division factor are important design factors for evaluation of the lightning performance of the transmission line and/or design of the grounding electrode system. The periodic measurement of those factors are also important to verify that the grounding performance of the towers has been maintained good. However, the direct measurement of those factors in operating or energized condition is very difficult because of many practical reasons, such as the difficulty of disconnecting overhead groundwires from the tower under test. With supports by GECOL (General Electricitiy Company of Libya), we had a special chance to conduct Fall-Of-Potential (FOP) test on the energized 220 kV transmission towers before and after disconnecting the overhead groundwires from the towers under test. In this paper, the FOP test results on the towers and the fault current division factors estimated from the comparision of the FOP tests with and without overhead groundwires were presented. The computer models for the FOP test simulations were also constructed to find that the simulated results agreed very well with the measured ones.

We propose an optical-based measuring instrument of catenary system in electric railway. This system was made to utilize line scan camera as inspecting system to measure the stagger and height of overhead contact wire in railway and composed with optical type source and FPGA-based image acquisition system with PCI slot. Vision acquisition software has been used for the application to programming interface for image acquisition, display, and storage with a frequency of sampling. To check the validity of our approach for the intended application, we monitored height and stagger in the overhead wire of a high-speed catenary system in Korea. The proposed optical-based measuring instrument to measure the contact wire geometry such as the hight and stagger shows promising on-field applications for online condition motoring. We expect that a new generation of real-time instruments with demanding various conditions motoring requirement in railway can be easily integrated into optical-based measuring instrument system.

R-Bar (Overhead Rigid Conductor system) has been lately used for the speed of over 200km/h in Europe, while it has been developed and used for the max. speed of 120km/h in Korea. Because R-Bar has advantages of reduction of tunnel cross sectional area and maintenance, its development for more high-speed is urgent in Korea having many mountain area. Therefore a sensitivity analysis of design parameters for the speed-up of R-Bar has performed in this study. For the analysis, we have developed a program for the prediction of dynamic characteristics between a pantograph and R-Bar. The program was evaluated with the actual test result and a current collection performance according to the parameters such as a distance between brackets, a stiffness of bracket and of R-Bar rail was predicted with the program.

In the cold and temperate regions of Korea the icing and ice coats on 25 kV overhead contact wire during winter is a very serious problem. This generates shocks at the mechanical interface of the collecting strips of the pantograph and the contact wire and extra electrical resistance, which may affect quality of current collection at the contact wire / collecting strips of pantograph interface. De-icing operations should be performed just before train operation to avoid the formation of another ice layer. This paper presents temperature analysis of the de-icing system which could be applied to the overhead contact wire of railways.

Overhead transmission lines are mainly crossing mountainous area. They are easily affected in weathers like typhoon, strong wind, lightning, heavy rain, or heavy snow. Sometimes these weathers cause transmission line faults. A lightning flashover is most often fault. Nowadays lightning density in KOREA is growing high and lightning flashovers occur more often. A lightning flashover on transmission line is mostly cleared by momentary operation of a circuit breaker, so power failure happens rarely. However, when both circuits trip simultaneously due to the lightning flashovers on double circuit transmission line, short time power failure and voltage drop happen. KEPCO has used transmission line arresters to avoid double circuit simultaneous trip out since 2003. And transmission line arresters cannot be installed with KEPCO's present metal fittings, so various fittings have been used for each transmission line arrester manufacturer. This paper introduces development and standardization of arc-horn and metal fittings for transmission line arrester which can be used for both existing lines and new lines in KEPCO.

본 논문에서는 평면 스크린을 사용할 수 없는 휴대형 프로젝터의 사용 환경에서 평면이 아닌 임의의 영사면(혹은 벽면)의 기하학적 형태에 의해 발생되는 영상의 기하학적 왜곡을 효과적으로 보정할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법에서는 먼저 격자패턴을 임의의 영사면에 영사한 후 영사면의 형태에 따라 왜곡된 격자패턴과 원본 격자패턴 간의 기하학적 관계를 나타내는 직선의 방정식을 도출한다. 다음으로 영사면의 기하학적 형태에 따라 적절하게 적용될 수 있는 원본 격자패턴의 크기를 결정하여 도출된 직선의 방정식으로부터 왜곡된 영상을 대칭적으로 보정할 수 있는 보정패턴을 생성한다. 최종적으로 프로젝터로부터 영사될 실제 영상을 격자패턴과 동일하게 분할하여 보정패턴에 맞게 미리 워핑(warping)함으로써 영사된 영상의 기하학적 왜곡을 보정한다. 제안한 방법의 성능 평가를 위하여 평면 스크린을 사용할 수 없는 영사 환경에서 자주 접할 수 있는 영사면 형태들인 기울어진 평면, 꺾인 평면 및 곡면을 대상으로 영사 영상 보정에 대한 실험을 진행하였다. 실험결과로부터 일반적으로 발생하는 몇 가지 영사면의 형태들에 인한 기하학적 왜곡들이 적절히 보정되어 제안한 방법이 영사 영상의 기하학적 왜곡을 매우 효과적으로 보정할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.
