As power demand increases gradually, the call for underground transmission system increases. 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 has the several useful characteristics such as increased power density. Therefore HTS cable can allow more power to be moved in existing ducts, which means very large economical and environmental benefits. 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.

In this study, the Joint of 345kV OF $1C{\times}2000mm^2$ cable was developed to keep up with the trends that need higher-voltage & capacity underground transmission line. The type of joint developed was based on the two kinds of models that have had a good reliability internationally. The mechnic and electric characteristics of the sample specimen was managed in detail when it was manufactured and estimated. Especially, in order to prove the reliability of usage for 30 years, the method of long term aging test was studied. As a result of test, we knew that the joint developed had a good performance. From this study, it can be thought that future ultra-high voltage underground transmission line could be constructed by domestic technology.

Urban subways are one of the main parts of urban transportation networks in every city that always requires much attention in order to improve its efficiency in aspects of safety, reliability speed and costs. As the viewpoint of costs, an accurate design, especially design of vertical alignment, can have a dominant role to reduce the costs of urban railway projects. This paper seeks to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of designing chain vertical alignment for urban subways in compare to flat vertical alignment. To achieve this goal, line A of Qom subway in Iran was selected as a case study in this research. Five parameters considered in the technical-economical evaluation: (1) energy consumption, (2) rolling stock, (3) operation, (4) civil works and geotechnical and (5) hydrological, drainage and pumping. According to the results, a power saving of about 40% have been estimated in the chain vertical alignment for the train without regenerative braking in compare with the flat vertical alignment, although the power saving was calculated less than 10% for the train with regenerative braking. Finally it was found that due to the modern rolling stock technology, the chain vertical alignment represents fewer advantages in compare to the past years.

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.

This paper reviews the energy characteristics of oil filled cables in transient state such as grounding fault and lightning surge. Artificial grounding fault test was firstly performed in 2003 for the analysis of arc voltage and breakdown energy according to the fault current. In this paper, energy of OF cable is variously analysed at joint box based on the actual test. Then more various conditions such as installation types, section lengths and CCPU(Cable Covering Protection Unit) connection types are applied for the simulation using EMTP when the single line to ground fault and direct lightning stroke are occurred on actual underground power cable systems and combined power cable systems, respectively. Finally, the energy by the length of crossbonded lead and grounding lead as well as fault lasting time is also calculated using EMTP simulation.

To reduce the effect of fault on underground power cable, we need exact and fast fault location detection technique. In this thesis, we describe on filter design technique that can be applied to on-line fault defection technique. To design fitter for fault location defection on Power cable, we should analysis fault signal. So we designed test bed for fault generation and measured fault signals for analysis. Through the analysis of signals, we found that ANC filter can be applied to separate fault signals and we designed a ANC filter. We tested on the designed filter through computer simulation, and we describe its results in this paper.

배전 계통을 대상으로 하는 통신 시스템에 전력통신(PLC : Power Line Communication)기술을 적용하고자 할 때, 고압 배전선의 통신 채널로서의 특성 분석이 근간이 되어야 한다. 일반적으로 지하 공동구의 배전 지중 케이블에는 케이블-케이블 간의 전기적, 물리적 접촉점인 접속 개소가 일정한 간격으로 존재하게 된다. 그러므로 통신 신호의 매개체가 되는 전력 케이블의 채널 특성 분석에는 케이블 접속 개소의 영향도 고려 대상이 되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 서울시 광진구 일부의 부하를 담당하고 있는 22.9 kV 고압 배전 지중 선로를 시험 선로로 비접촉식 커플러를 통해 통신 신호를 전송하여 삽입 손실 측정 결과를 보았고 케이블 접속 개소의 영향을 주파수 영역에서 채널 특성을 통해 분석 하였다. 시험 결과 케이블 접속 개소를 통과할 때 채널 특성은 십여 dB의 신호 감쇄를 보였다.

In 22.9[kV]-y distribution systems, underground cables are provided with multiple-point ground in which each coaxial-neutral line of the distribution cable lines(A, B, C phases) is 3-wire common grounded. In the underground cable distribution systems, circulating current flows in the coaxial-neutral lines and its magnitude amounts to about $40{\sim}50[%]$ load currents, even though loads are balanced. Power loss due to the circulating current consequently reaches to about 76[%] total losses occurred in all conductor lines. This power loss provokes additional temperature rise of the underground cable lines and finally results in 20[%] reduction of the current capacity of the cables. This paper presents a new ground method to overcome such a problem. The proposed method eliminates the circulating current flowing in the coaxial-neutral line effectively. Measurement results confirmed from the practical site-test show validity and effectiveness of this research.
