This paper described the switching overvoltage analysis on the 345kV and 154kV transmission system by EMTP(Electromagnetic transient Program) for the enactment of current insulation design standards of KEPCO. The air clearance design of current transmission tower was reviewed and revised by the calculated result, considering swing angle for the each type of insulator string by the wind velocity.

In the case of synchronous machines, certain power system disturbances cause the induced rotor current to assume negative values when no static converter is present. A converter, however. prevents negative current from flowing, so that overvoltages occur. The overvoltages can be effectively limited as crowbar circuit using GTO. This newly proposed crowbar circuit with current limiting resistor absorbs energy when overvoltage comes from power system repeatedly and is verified through experiment.

Due to the high penetration ratio of dispersed generations, overvoltage problem of the feeder has become more an important issue in distribution system operation. This paper proposes a new method for the smart inverter to control reactive power to mitigate voltage rise by the reverse power flow from the DGs. The proposed method controls reactive power based on current measurement while conventional methods use voltage measurement which include unacceptably large errors. Various case studies using MATLAB simulation have been performed to verify effectiveness of proposed method.

Power system restoration following a massive or complete blackout starts with energizing of primary restorative transmission lines. During this primary restoration, inexpected overvoltage may happen due to nonlinear interaction between the unloaded transformer and the transmission system. This is known as the harmonic resonance phenomenon that may cause burning out of transformer or other devices. By now the harmonic resonance is reported in the extra high voltage system. This paper reports the detection of the resonance in Korean power system. Basic analysis and simulation of the harmonic overvoltage is presented using EMTDC.

In case of Lighting occurs in Domestic combined distribution line, normally the voltage for the neutral line increase dramatically. General connection for underground cable is bundled common earth type so the lightning over voltage increase at the concentric-neutral line is not big enough to give impact on cable sheath. But in case of Non bundled common earth type it is necessary to analyze the phenomena on cable sheath caused by lightening overvoltage. Especially pole and cable joint are the core factor to consider. In this paper concrete pole and cable joint were evaluated in case of Non bundled common earth type combined distribution Line. EMTP simulation model has been designed and several case study were made. Also several experimental test were made to verify the simulation result.

In this study we investigate the background of UPS output transformer(${\Delta}-Y$) operation on neutral ungrounded system, and perform field experiment of neutral floating-phenomenon for the inter-locked securing of electric facilities and improvement of neutral floating-phenomenon. Experiment results show that a floating-phenomenon occurs when four-pole input-breaker trip and the neutral to earth voltage occurring concurrently is identified as phantom voltage. And the measures for the transient overvoltage that can occur in floating-state also are investigated. As a result, the risk elements of neutral ungrounded method as well as neutral floating-phenomenon are removed by installation of separate solidly-grounded transformer and switching four-pole input-breaker to three-pole input breaker.

There are provision for risk analysis in IEC standards. It is to determine the need for installation of a surge protection device (SPD) in order to protect the low-voltage electrical installations from overvoltages caused by atmospheric phenomena and the like. However, scattered many related standards, the lack of details are not easy to apply it in the field. We investigated the relevant domestic and international standards for applies to the international standards in domestic. And we proposed the flow chart for determining the need for protection of the low-voltage electrical installations from overvoltage due to atmospheric phenomena and it set the appling target facility.

This paper suggests a overvoltage protection scheme for HID lamp. HID lamp has complex characteristics and long duration in process from starting to steady state condition. So it is necessary to protect both starting and normal lighting mode. The protection method is composed of two circuit: one is for ignition state and the other is for steady state.

This paper describes the lightning arrester transients in cable head termination. The installation references of cable head tower and lightning arresters are firstly reviewed, then the performance of lightning arrester operation is also evaluated based on lightning overvoltage analysis by the change of grounding lead cable length. This paper finally proposes the optimal length of grounding lead cable at the cable head termination. The limited lightning current is also proposed according to the change of grounding lead cable length. The results will contribute to protecting insulation breakdown failure against lightning surge at the terminations and joints.

The latest offshore wind turbines are easily exposed to lightning strikes because they are designed with longer blades and taller height to satisfy the growing capacity demands. The generation facilities and elements of the offshore wind farm are more vulnerable to lightning damage because of more severe, unpredictable weather conditions. Therefore, this paper presents the analysis of measure for lightning overvoltage mitigation in offshore wind farm planned in South Korea southwest seashore. The sensitivity analysis includes the steady state and transient state characteristics of offshore wind farm and proposes the countermeasure for mitigation of transient overvoltage by considering earth resistivity of the offshore environment.
