Dynamic Line Rating (DLR) techniques have been greatly worthy of notice for efficiently increasing transmission capacity as well as controlling load-flow in overhead transmission lines, in comparison with the existing power system operating with Static Line Rating (SLR). This paper describes an utilization method to implement DLR control system for old transmission lines built in the first stage using the ground clearance design standard with lower dips. The suggested DLR system is focused on designing as temperature control system rather than current/load control system. Based on several performance for conductor temperatures, it is shown that DLR system with efficiency can be implemented.

In this paper, we calculated the input impedance of the power line communication(PLC) networks using medium voltage power line. First of all, we proposed input and output teoninal model of PLC network, and calculated the input impedance applying the attenuation constants by radiation loss, conductor loss, dielectric loss. From the calculation result, we knew that the attenuation by radiation loss was largest, and the input impedance appears like a standing wave fonn with a fixed cycle because the high reflection at the input terminal for the characteristic impedance of the power line is very large. And also the cycle of input impedance depends on the coaxial cable length, and the amplitude depends on the characteristic impedance of power line and losses. From the measurement result, calculated result was very similar to the measured result.

Conductors in overhead transmission lines are exposed under various environmental conditions for a long period of time, so that they may be slowly degraded due to air pollutant or thermal history. Aged conductors may reduce power system reliability and public safety. Therefore, diagnosis of aged conductors in service becomes more important concerns with respect to keeping power delivery stable with a proper capability, replacing aged conductors, or constructing a new line. In this paper, we posed a new method to diagnose the refurbishment life and estimate the remaining life of aged conductors by measuring dips. As analyzing some relations of conductor temperature, conductor current, and tension load, it could be verified that dip exactly shows mechanical tension loss for aged conductor. Based on several simulation results, it was shown that the proposed method may be effectively used to diagnose the refurbishment life or remaining one of overhead conductors.

Korea takes part in overseas business by use of accumulated advanced technology through construction of the worlds first 765kV double circuit transmission system designed with pure local technology. 'Development Study on the Power System Network Analysis in Myanmar' was received in the year 2001 and was completed in the year 2002. The following project,'Feasibility Study and Basic Designs for the 500kV Transmission System in Myanmar' has been in progress since January, 2004. With regards to this project the master plan for the Myanmar long term power system was submitted in January 2005, and now the basic designs for the 500kV transmission system construction are in progress. Technical data for the design of the transmission line is calculated using a very complex numerical formula that is almost impossible to be completed by hand. So the transmission technical calculation system was developed to calculate and support Myanmar technical data for the design of transmission line with respect to factors such as wind prossure load, tower design data conductor design data and insulator design data on the basis of weather conditions for the Myamar transmission line design area of the Myanmar 500kV trans- mission line construction basic design.

As power systems grow more complex and power demands increase, the need of underground transmission system is increasing gradually. But it is very difficult and high in cost to construct new ducts and/or tunnels for power cables in metropolitan areas. HTS (High Temperature Superconducting) cable can carry very high current densities with strongly reduced conductor loss and allow high power transmission at reduced voltage. Therefore HTS cable can transfer more power to be moved in existing ducts, which means very large economical and environmental benefits. A development project for a 22kV class HTS cable is ongoing at a research centers, and the cable manufacturer in Korea. In this paper, we carried out investigation for application of 22kV class HTS cable in Korean utility networks. The results show that the HTS cable is applicable to replace IPB in pumping-up power plant, withdrawal line in distributed generation, withdrawal line in complex power plant, and conventional under ground cable. Finally, as the cost of HTS wire and refrigeration drops, the technical and economical potential of HTS cable is evaluated positively.

This paper specified the measurement results conducted by the Korea Electric Power Research Institute (KEPRI) 765kV double circuit transmission test line that measured the audible noise, hum noise, radio interference, electric field and aeolian measurement. This test line consists of 6-480mm$^{2}$ conductors per phase. The analysis of the test results shows that this 6-Rail conductor bundle satisfies the audible noise criterion under the stable rainy weather condition and the radio interference level under the fair weather. And the other items are also agreed with the design level criterion. (author). 9 refs., 7 figs., 2 tabs.

Length of most underground power cable in home is not so long. Therefore it is operated without transposition due to low unbalanced ratio. However, if cable length is long, line constant of each cable will be different. Different line constant can induce unbalanced voltage and current of sheath. Also it can induce several induced interference. This paper describes the effectiveness of transposition through sheath component analysis on transposition and untransposition of cable conductor. Especially sheath current and induced voltage are analyzed and compared in case of transposition and untransposition. EMTP is used for modeling and analysis.

In this paper, we analyze the inductive interference in conductive material around power transmission line. To compute induced eddy currents as well as electromagnetic fields, finite element method(FEM) is used for numerical calculation. The characteristics of conductive material such as gas pipeline, overhead guide wires, conducting earth and so on are taken account of FEM analysis. This research also shows that mitigation wire reduces amount of eddy current in buried gas pipe line.

In this paper, a communication system that is not using the communication line but power line is presented. It will be very useful for an information-oriented society with tole-metering and home automation. Conventional system has a difficulty in transmitting information due to decreasing communication voltage. Proposed idea is a special type switching amplifier system which has a low inner resistance and using high efficient ferrite core in a coupling circuit. This new system is proposed to overcome the loss of conductor load and coupling circuit in a PLC system.

Fatigue properties of INVAR/AW wires have been investigated under the heat exposure in order to ensure stable operation and to estimate life span of their power line. In the case of heat exposure for 10000 hr, fatigue life and limit increased. For further heat exposure, fatigue limit decreased due to the decrease in yield strength. The variation fatigue of strand wire was strongly dependent on its amplitude. Also, cracks in wires of 7 strands were caused by stress concentration at the outer surface and fretting between each wire during vibration.
