This paper analyzes the lightning-induced overvoltage and current in buried underground distribution cable. Based on analytical expressions, the lightning-induced overvoltage and current in buried underground distribution cable is calculated by EMTP/MODELS. The modeling is verified by comparing with the results in reference. Also, the type and buried arrangement of cables used in domestic distribution line are modeled by EMTP/ATPDraw. The various simulations according to the type and buried arrangement of cable are performed and the simulation results are analyzed.

Recently, underground transmission system is growing continuously according to the electric power demand increase in the downtown area. Even if domestic cable makers are manufacturing 154kV oil filled cable and joint, the design technology of cable-joint has not been fully self-reliance. This study is aimed at the detail heat transfer analysis of 154kV cable-joint. So, that is cut into the five sections in order to analyze a conjugate natural convection in two dimensional $r-{\theta}$ coordinate. The streamline and temperature distributions are obtained for each sections. Also the changes of those are analyzed with respect to the variation of transmission currents and cable-joint surface heat transfer coefficients. The same analyses are also shown in view point of the maximum temperature of conductor and local equivalent conductivity.

If the fault occurs on the underground power cable systems, the fault current on the sheath has an influence on all sections of cable because it's returned through earth at the directly grounded point and operation point of SVL(Sheath Voltage Limiter) on each insulated joint box. Therefore, the earth resistance and the operation of SVL have an effect on the zero-sequence current, and then the impedance between relaying point and fault point is increased. That causes the overreach of distance relay. For these reasons, the distance relay algorithm for protecting an underground power cable systems hasn't been developed till now. In this paper, new distance relay algorithm is developed for protecting a underground power cable system using fuzzy inference system which is the one of ACI(Advanced Computational Intelligence) techniques. This algorithm is verified by EMTP simulation of real power cable system, and proves to effectively advance the errors

Power system fault analysis is commonly based on well-known symmetrical component method, which describes power system elements by positive, negative and zero sequence impedance. The majority of fault in transmission lines is unbalanced fault, such as line-to-ground faults, so that both positive and zero sequence impedance is required for fault analysis. When unbalanced fault occurs, zero sequence current flows through earth and ground wires in overhead transmission systems and through cable sheaths and earth in underground transmission systems. Since zero sequence current distribution between cable sheath and earth is dependent on both sheath bondings and grounding configurations, care must be taken to calculate zero sequence impedance of underground cable transmission lines. In this paper, EMTP-based sequence impedance calculation method was described and applied to 345kV cable transmission systems. Calculation results showed that detailed circuit analysis is desirable to avoid possible errors of sequence impedance calculation resulted from various configuration of cable sheath bonding and grounding in underground cable transmission systems.

In this paper, we develope a wavelet transform based time-frequency domain reflectometry (WTFDR) for the fault localization of underground power cable. The conventional TFDR (CTFDR) is more accurate than other reflectometries to localize the cable fault. However, the CTFDR has some weak points such as long computation time and hard implementation because of the nonlinearity of the Wigner-Ville distribution used in the CTFDR. To solve the problem, we use the complex wavelet transform (CWT) because the CWT has the linearity and the reference signal in the TFDR has a complex form. To confirm the effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed method, the actual experiments are carried out for various fault types of the underground power cable.

Developing fault location system for underground power cable which can detect its fault location exactly require very high speed data acquisition and signal processing capability. We are developing fault location system which is different from conventional fault locator. This fault location system monitor underground power cable by using on-line speed current sensor and if there are an accident, it record its transient signal and calculate fault location by analyzing it. Signals which acquired when power cable fault arise, showed transient characteristics and its frequency band is very hish. So, to develop fault location system, we designed special high speed data acquisition and signal processing board. In this thesis, we describe on data acquisition and signal processing H/W design for fault location system on underground power cable.

In this paper, numerical method was calculated on evaluation of underground ventilation system to keep servicing a fresh air. The tunnel length for simulation is 18.2 km with various located seven ventilation shaft. Generally, owing to thermal generation in cable tunnel under about 50 m depths, cable tunnel ventilation system is more important than that of other tunnels. So, we conducted that the effects of ventilation systems was simulated depending on the difference of electrical power tunnel length, the number of shaft tunnel, forced ventilation and duct was or not. Test results show that the main conditions in order to enhance the underground cable tunnel are that ventilation systems have to be designed with forced ventilation and with duct.

This paper describes an improved analysis method for sheath circulating current on three-underground transmission cables using EMTP(Electromagnetic Transient Program). Author studied diversely the sheath circulating current on three-underground cables depending on the various length rate, the phase arrangement, and the grounding resistance of the sheath in the cross-bonded section. It was clear that very large circulating current is generated in cable systems due to unbalanced length rate and phase arrangement in the cross-bonded section. The analysing method for two or more underground cables will be really Improved for cable system utility.

Intelligent distribution equipment is inevitable to realize self-healing which is one of smart grid functions in distribution network. Therefore, most of distribution equipment have been developed with self diagnostic sensors. However, it is not effective to construct on-line monitoring system for underground distribution cable because of high cost and low sensitivity. Recently, optical fiber composite cable is being considered for communication and power delivery in order to cope with increasing communication in distribution network. This paper presents the design and performance assessment results of underground cable on-line monitoring system using DTS(Distributed Temperature Sensing) and optical fiber composite underground cable.

Since the first underground transmission line of Korea was installed between Danginri and Yongsan substations in 1974, the two types of underground transmission power cables, oil-filled and XLPE, have been applied for underground transmission lines. As the manufacturing technologies of XLPE cable have been improved and the simplicity of installation and maintenance has been focused on, the installations of XLPE cables have been largely increased since the mid 1990's. For the first time, in Korea, the 345kV XLPE cable was installed between Youngseo and Youngdeungpo substations in 2003, June. So, this paper introduces the project profile, the design of cable and its accessory, the cable system design, installation and site test.
