The sheath in underground power cables serves as a layer to prevent moisture ingress into the insulation layer and provide a path for earth return current. Nowadays, owing to the maturity of manufacturing technologies, there are normally no problems for the quality of the sheath itself. However, after the cable is laid in the cable tunnel and is operating as part of the transmission network, due to network construction and some unexpected factors, some problems may be caused to the sheath. One of them is the high sheath circulating current. In a power cable system, the uniform configuration of the cables between sections is sometimes difficult to achieve because of the geometrical limitation. This will cause the increase of sheath circulating current, which results in the increase of sheath loss and the decrease of permissible current. This paper will study the various characteristics and effects of sheath circulating current, and then will prove why the sheath current rises on the underground power cable system. A newly designed device known as the Power Cable Current Analyser, as well as ATP simulation and calculation equation are used for this analysis.

This paper describes a fault location algorithm in real combined transmission systems with underground power cable. The algorithm to calculate the fault location was developed using DWT wavelet transform and travelling wave occurred at fault point. And the proposed algorithm is also used the transient signal of one end in stead of the signal information of two ends. On the other hand, in this papers, the method to discriminate fault point between overhead line and cable section is also Proposed. Variety simulations were carried out to verify the accuracy and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm using EMTP/ATFDraw and Matlab. Simulation results show that the proposed method has the excellent ability for discrimination of fault section and fault location in combined transmission systems with power cables.

In order to analyze failure rates of underground transmission power cable systems in Korea, the survey has been performed for the failure cases of cables, joints, and terminations in CV, OF and POF cable systems which occurred from 1983 to 1998. During 16 years, the failure cases due to trips of the systems were 47 among the total 108 cases, These 47 cases could be divided into internal reasons(manufacture/installation, corrosion and degradation) of 16 cases and external reasons (external mechanical damages, lightning, fire. etc.) of 31 cases. For the 154 kV cable systems during 12 years from 1987 to 1998, total failure rate was 0.0057 [case/100C-km/year] and internal reason failure rate was 0.0020 [case/100C-km/Year], which is similar to those of foreign countries. Also, the many cases of internal reason failures occurred in the early stage after the operations due to incorrect installations. This implies that the installation process is very important and some diagnostic tests such as PD measurement are needed besides after laying test.

The power system analysis based on the accurate impedance of the individual underground cable, which is the inter connected to a large power system, is required. A study on calculation method of impedance allowable current for underground cables. furthermore, various methods of bonding and earthing the sheath have been used for the purpose of eliminating or reducing the sheath losses. the effectes of bonding and earthing must be includied in impedances. therefore, the subject of predicting thermal performance of soil and cable systems has been received increasing attension. for these problems, this paper describes a general formulation of impedance that is based on the effect of crossbonding and earthing of the sheath on the 66kV, 132kV and 220kV underground cable systems. also the work is presented, for calculating the temperature rise of power cable and soil.

This paper describes that the evaluation on operation practicality of Al conductor cable will be used instead of Cu conductor cable. Analysis is divided into two kinds of cases as transmission and distribution. To evaluate that Al conductor line has the insulation strength indeed safely, various analysis and calculation such as single line-to-ground fault current, lightning surge and allowance current were carried. Model was established based on real combined transmission and distribution is being used in utility with EMTP. The analysis results on Al and Cu conductor line were compared each other. It was proved that Al conductor line can be operated instead of Cu conductor line without special insulation problem in transmission and distribution, in electrical view point such as overvoltage and allowance current.

In Floating PV (Photovoltaic) systems, PV modules are installed on water by utilizing the surface of idle water such as a reservoir and multipurpose dam. A floating PV system, therefore, has the advantage of efficiency in national land use and improved energy yield owing to cooling effect compared to on-land PV systems. Owing to the limitation of installation environment for a floating PV system, the system, however, has the disadvantage of an increase in transmission distance of DC (Direct current) cables. A longer transmission distance of a DC cable results in greater power loss due to a voltage drop. This leads to a decline in economic feasibility for the floating PV system. In this paper, the economic analysis for 10 floating PV systems installed in a reservoir has been conducted in terms of a change in annual power sales according to the variation of transmission losses depending on the factors affecting the voltage drop, such as transmission distance, cross-section area of underwater cable, the presence of joint box, and PV capacity.

Sheath circulating current results from the change of sheath mutual impedance which is caused by unbalanced cable system, and different section length between joint boxes. If circulating over current flows in sheath, it produces much sheath loss which reduces the transmission capacity. And also such large sheath current influences severely on the operator. Recently, large sheath circulating current was partially measured in underground cable system of KEPCO. Accordingly, actual schemes to reduce sheath circulating over current is urgently required for installed cable system as well as newly-constructing cable system. This paper describes the analysis of sheath circulating current and various schemes to reduce the large circulating current in case of operating cable system using EMTP/ATPDraw. And also, possible schemes are proposed through a detailed analysis regarding cable systems by considering various electrical and environmental factors. It is evaluated that the proposed reduction schemes can be effectively applied to reduce the large sheath circulating over current with the minimized electrical problems.

This paper describes the overvoltage analysis and reduction methods of insulation joint boxes in underground transmission power cables when direct lightning surge strikes to overhead transmission line. An actual 154kV combined transmission line with underground Power cables was modelled in ATPDraw for simulation. Simulations were performed to analyze the overvoltage between insulation joint boxes, sheath-to-ground voltage according to the distance between cable conductors, cable lengths, burying types, CCPU connection types. The most effective method to reduce the induced overvoltage of Insulation joint boxes was proposed. It is evaluated that the proposed reduction method riven from the detailed simulations can be effectively applied to the actual underground power cable systems.

The effects of surge arresters for the protection of transmission systems against direct lightning strokes have already been reviewed by many researchers. However, their studies have not encompassed underground cable systems. Therefore, in this paper we investigate the 22.9kV combined distribution systems that have arresters and ground wires. In addition, we analyze the overvoltages on underground distribution cable sections when direct lightning strokes contact the overhead ground wire using EMTP. Finally, we discuss the effect of lightning strokes according to the change of cable length and installation of arresters. This study provides insulation coordination methods for reasonable system design in 22.9kV underground distribution cable systems.
