According to previous report, aged sleeves for old transmission lines have variable defects such as biased installed case or corrosion of steel sleeve. Biased installed sleeve occupied 20 percent among the investigated aged sleeves. This defect must cause local heating of splice connector and limit power transmission capacity. It even inspire falling out of overhead conductor from sleeves. This paper studies thermal properties and tension for ACSR conductor in case of biased installed sleeve model. The detailed results were presented in the text.

Because the overhead transmission lines are exposed to the outdoor weather, the faults of the transmission tines are due to natural conditions, and among these faults, the outage rate by lightning is about 50%. The lightning causes the damage of power system equipments, the shut down of electricity and the electro-magnetic interference. Therefore, the pertinent insulation design is important, not only to decrease the damage of the facility itself but also to increase the reliability of electric power system. For these reasons, we have to obtain and accumulate the lightning current parameters for the basic lightning research. This paper describes the development of real time analysis system about lightning information.

In this paper, impedance characteristics of overhead medium-voltage (MV) power line for power line communication (PLC) is analyzed. For analysis, a two-port equivalent network model of MV power lines is derived. By applying the equivalent model and basic transmission line theory, input impedance at the signal induction part is calculated. And also calculated input impedance of power line itself that the medium voltage coupler and coaxial cable effect are removed. For verification, impedance of power lines is measured at a test field for an MV PLC. The results show that impedance of MV power line itself is between $200\;{\Omega}\;and\;300\;{\Omega}$ and converges to a half of their characteristic impedance with increasing frequency. And also measured data is very similar to calculated data.

In the paper the analysis of natural vibrations of the transmission line with use of spectral elements and the laboratory experiments is performed. The purpose of the investigation is to analyze the natural vibrations of the transmission line and compare with the results obtained in the numerical simulations. Particular attention is paid to the hysteretic and aerodynamic damping analysis. Sensitivity of the wave number is performed for changing of the tension force, as well as for the different damping parameters. The numerical model is made using the Spectral Element Method. In the spectral model, for various parameters of stiffness, damping and tension force, the system response is checked and compared with the results of the accelerations obtained in the measurements. A frequency response functions (FRF) are calculated. The credibility of the model is assessed through a validation process carried out by comparing graphical plots of FRF and time history analysis and numerical values expressing differences in acceleration amplitude (MSG), phase angle differences (PSG) and differences in acceleration and phase angle total (CSG) values. The next aspect constituting the purpose of this paper is to present the wide possibilities of modelling and simulation of slender conductors using the Spectral Element Method. The obtained results show good accuracy in the range of both experimental measurements as well as simulation analysis. The paper emphasizes the ease with which the sensitivity of the conductor and its response to changes in density of spectral mesh division, tensile strength or material damping can be studied.

This paper describes the improvement method of distance relaying algorithm for the underground transmission cables. Distance relaying algorithms have been mainly developing to protect the overhead transmission lines than the underground cables. If the cable systems are directly protected using distance relaying algorithm developed for overhead line without any improvement, there will be really occurred many misoperation in cable systems, because the cable systems consist of the conductor, the sheath, several grounding method, cable cover protection units(CCPUs), and grounding wire. Accordingly, the complicated phenomena are occurred, if there is a fault in cable systems. Therefore, to develope a correct distance relaying algorithm, such cable characteristics should be taken into account. This paper presents the process to improve distance relaying algorithm which is now used. REal cable system was selected to establish modeling in EMTP and ATP Draw. It was discovered through the detailed simulation during the fault that the large error existed between impedance measured at the relay point and real impedance is due to the resistance of grounding wire in each grounding method. And also compensation factor obtained by the simulation is proposed in this paper. It is proved that the factor proposed can fairly improve the accuracy of impedance at the relay point. It is evaluated that the protective ability will be really much improved, if the algorithm proposed in this paper is applied for cable systems of utility.

The analysis of magnetic fields(2-D) induced by line currents, such as Overhead Trolley Lines or Transmission Lines, is not so easy by using the standard Finite Element Method(FEM). Mesh generation is one of the most important processes in the standard FEM. Because, the current region is relatively small compared with whole region, and actually is a line without thickness, the mesh refinement around the source lines yields many demerits. A way of supplement such a defect, we proposed the coupling scheme of analytical solution and FEM. In this study, the analytical solution is adopted around the region of line currents and FE solution is a lied to the rest of source region. And the two types of solution are coupled at the artificial boundary. To verify the usefulness of proposed algorithm, simplified model with magnetic material in FE region is chosen and analyzed. The results are compared with those of standard FEM. And the errors between them can be reduced by increasing harmonic orders.

In city, tracing of power transmission lines is difficult due to compound installation of overhead and underground lines, transposition, bad view caused by trees or big buildings. It is hard problem for electrical technician on site to trace power transformers or power lines to serve customers in 3 phase -4 wires power distribution systems. It is necessary that the correct and fast tracing method is required for load balancing among distribution lines. Old technology use to trace lines with high power impulse injection. Our proposed method uses to trace lines with very small power high frequency signal injection. Simulation models for 3-phase power transformers, 3-phase wire lines, and customer loads are described to investigate the transmission characteristics of high frequency power line carrier. Distribution lines have only a limited ability to carry higher frequencies. Typically power transformers in the distribution system prevent propagating the higher frequency carrier signal. The proposed method uses the limited propagation ability to identify the power transformer to serve customers. The system consists of a transmitter and a receiver with power-line communication module. Some experiments are conducted to verify the theoretical concepts in a big commercial building. Also some simulations are done to help and understand the concepts by using MATLAB Simulink simulator.

Distance relay is tripped by the line impedance calculated at the relay point. Accordingly the accurate operation depends on the precise calculation of line impedance. Impedance can be accurately calculated in case of overhead line. However, in case of power cables or combined transmission lines, impedance can not be accurately calculated because cable systems have the sheath, grounding wires, and cable cover protection units (CCPUs). There are also several grounding systems in cable systems. Therefore, if there is a fault in cable system, these terms will severely be caused much error to calculation of impedance. Accordingly the proper compensation should be developed for the correct operation of the distance relay. This paper presents the distance calculating algorithm in combined transmission line with power cable using wavelet transform. In order to achieve such purpose, judgement method to discriminate the fault section in both sections was proposed using db1 coefficient summation. And also, error compensation factor was proposed for correct calculation of impedance in power cable.
