In this paper, aging diagnosis method of CV cable was investigated. CV cable was designed for the sake of using during 30 years. Therefore it was important to evaluate the cable's remaining life because CV cable used for power transmission line since 1970's. CV cable was mainly installed at the underground owing to the environmental condition. If the cable accident occurred, it needs the much time for the accident recovery and the much damage at the industrial activity. therefore, this paper should study the direct leakage current method, a sort of the cables' aging test method

Shunt reactors are used to compensate for capacitive VARs generated by lightly loaded transmission lines or underground cables. They are normally connected to the transformer tertiary winding. Dry-type shunt reactors have the advantage compared with oil-immersed shunt reactor as followings. Lower investment and maintenance cost, No fire hazard and no environmental concerns, Simple insulation to ground, Response to transient overvoltage less severe, Linearity of inductance versus load current, Lower-acoustic noise, Easier transport and handling due to lower weight, No oil-collecting system must be provided since there is no oil that can leak into the ground.

In this work, PD patterns and electrical trees are observed by use of the XLPE cable insulation. and the tree initiation voltage related to the contamination are also measured in order to calculate the electric stress necessary for the design of cable insulation. Throughout these works, correlation between the PD pattern and the shape of electrical tree has been observed that there may exist three distinct pattern of PD dependence on the stage of tree propagation, Such correlation could bring a basic information in connection with the partial discharge of cable system. It was also found that the electrical stress necessary for the initiation of electrical tree was measured to the 290kV/mm for the 154kV XLPE cables manufactured in KOREA.

To decrease and remove of much noises that is detected in PD (partial discharge) measuring test. we forced on detection of those. We made W-LC filter for measuring PD. which adapted that to field test. We tested after design laboratory circumstances like field line. and then the phase change properties of detected signal in UHF sensor were measured by Lemke Probe and oscilloscope (TDS-3054. Tektronix). Eventually we checked decrement of noises from experimental result. Also from experimental result at the joint box of 22.9[kV] distribution line. we obtained reasonable data which enable noises to decrease. Hereafter those results will be adapted at ultra-high voltage for trouble prevention and on-line cable watch. diagnosis of those.

River sand has generally used for the backfill material of underground power cables. The thermal resistivity of it has $150^{\circ}C$-cm/Watt in wet condition and more than double in dry condition. The final goal of this study is to find the backfill material which has a small change in thermal resistivity with various water contents, for example thermal resistivity is $50^{\circ}C$-cm/Watt and $100^{\circ}C$-cm/Watt in wet and dry conditions respectively. In this study it is presented that the comparison of thermal resistivity using stone powder, crush rock, weathered granite soil and Jumunjin sand as well as river sand in the needle method regarding water content, dry unit weight and particle size distribution. As a result, the thermal resistivity of a material is minimized when they have maximum dry unit weight at optimum moisture content and maximum density by appropriately mixing materials for particle size distribution. Therefore thermal resistivity characteristics should be considered two factors: one is the difference between natural dry condition and dry state after optimum moisture content, and the other is the difference between unit weight of raw material and maximum dry density.

PD phenomena can be regarded as a deterministic dynamical process where PD should be occurred if the local electric field be reached to be sufficiently high. And thus, its mathematical model can be described by either difference equations or differential equations using several state variables obtained from the time sequential measured data of PD signals. These variables can provide rich and complex behavior of detectable time series, for which Chaos theory can be employed. In this respect, a new PD pattern recognition method is proposed and named as 'Chaotic Analysis of Partial Discharges (CAPD)' for this work. For this purpose, six types of specimen are designed and made as the models of the possible defects that may cause sudden failures of the underground power transmission cables under service, and partial discharge signals, generated from those samples, are detected and then analyzed by means of CAPD. Throughout the work, qualitative and quantitative properties related to the PD signals from different defects are analyzed by use of attractor in phase space, information dimensions ($D_0$ and D2), Lyapunov exponents and K-S entropy as well. Based on these results, it could be pointed out that the nature of defect seems to be identified more distinctively when the CAPD is combined with traditional statistical method such as PRPDA. Furthermore, the relationship between PD magnitude and the occurrence timing is investigated with a view to simulating PD phenomena.

Electric power transmission utilities make an effort to maximize profit by reducing their electricity supply and operation costs while maintaining their reliability. The development of maintenance strategies for aged components is one of the more effective ways to achieve this goal. The reliability centered approach is a key method in providing optimal maintenance strategies. It considers the tradeoffs between the upfront maintenance costs and the potential costs incurred by reliability losses. This paper discusses the application of the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) technique used to find the optimal maintenance strategy for a transmission component in order to achieve the minimum total expected cost composed of Generation Cost (GC), Maintenance Cost (MC), Repair Cost (RC) and Outage Cost (OC). Three components of a transmission system are considered: overhead lines, underground cables and insulators are considered. In regards to aged and aging component, a component state model that uses a modified Markov chain is proposed. A simulation has been performed on an IEEE 9-bus system. The results from this simulation are quite encouraging, and then the proposed approach will be useful in practical maintenance scheduling.

본 논문에서는 지중전력설비의 안전한 운용을 위하여 무선네트워크기술을 적용한 감시시스템을 개발하기 위하여 WiMAX 기술을 적용하기로 하였다. 지중전력설비는 환경친화적 도시설비의 추구로 전체 전력설비중에서 비중이 꾸준히 늘어나는 추세이다. 노후화되어가는 전력설비는 사고의 위험성이 증대되고 있다. 하지만 노후화된 전력설비를 교체하는 비용은 천문학적이므로, 교체보다는 안전하게 유지보수하는 방법이 훨씬 경제적일 것이다. 지중전력설비는 지상설비만큼이나 광범위한 거리에 걸쳐서 시설되어 있다. 그러므로 노후한 설비를 유지보수하기 위하여 유선네트워크를 사용하는 방법보다는 경제적으로 무선네트워크를 사용하는 방법이 유리하다. 무선네트워크 기술은 종류에 따라서 여러가지 장단점을 가지고 있으며, 지중설비 감시에 최적인 기술을 채택하는 것이 중요하다. WiMAX 기술를 적용하여 지중전력설비 감시에 사용하여 기존에 설치한 유선네트워크에 영향을 주지않으면서, 신규로 추가되는 센서네트워크 시스템을 쉽게 통합 관리할 수 있는 시스템을 설계하기로 한다.

South Korea's OF cable is reaching its expected design life of 30 years, and as a result, the risk of failure is increasing. Therefore, it is necessary to diagnose the long-term operating OF cables through accurate diagnosis at the right time to prevent the failure. Currently, the KEPCO periodically conducts DGA. However, the gas found in DGA is caused by oil deterioration as well as insulation paper. Therefore, the analysis of the degree of polymerization and furan compounds which is an evaluation of insulation paper considered to be the life of OF cables is required. In addition, the results of the evaluation of deterioration of insulation paper need to be checked for correlation with the results of DGA. In this study, DGA carried out through GC, the degree of polymerization was analyzed using an automatic viscometer, and HPLC was used to detect the furan compounds. In addition, the obtained results were applied to the SVM technique, which was recently introduced to determine abnormalities in OF cable. And the results which were accurate and reliable were obtained.
