In this paper, impedance characteristics of overhead medium-voltage (MV) power lines is reported for power line communication (PLC) over an MV power line network. For analysis, a two-port equivalent network model of MV power lines is derived. By applying the transmission line theory, reflection behavior and impedance of power lines are investigated. For verification, impedance of power lines is measured at a test field for an MV PLC. The results show that impedance of MV power lines is between $200{\Omega}$ and $300{\Omega}$ and converges to a half of their characteristic impedance.

본 논문에서는 전력선 통신(PLC) 시스템에 사용되는 고압 배전선로의 임피던스 특성을 해석하였다. 해석을 위해 전력선 통신 네트워크의 2포트 등가모델을 구현하였다. 등가모델 및 기본적인 전송선로 이론을 적용하여 전력선 통신 입력 단에서의 임피던스를 계산하였다. 또한 고압 커플러, 동축케이블 등의 특성을 제거한 전력선 자체의 입력임피던스를 계산하였다. 계산결과의 검증을 위해 고압 실증시험장에서 측정을 하였다. 측정결과 전력선 자체의 입력 임피던스는 $200\~300\;{\Omega}$의 값을 가졌으며, 주파수가 증가할수록 전력선 특성임피던스의 절반에 수렴하였다. 또한 측정치와 계산치가 매우 유사하였다.

For broadband high-data-rate power line communication with the allocated frequency bandwidth from 2 to 30 MHz on medium voltage (MV) distribution power lines, a signal coupling unit is developed. The coupling unit is composed of a coupling capacitor for coupling communication signal, a drain coil, and an impedance matching part. The coupling capacitor made of ceramic capacitor is designed for transmission property of better than 1 dB in the frequency range. The drain coil is used for preventing low frequency high voltage from junction of medium voltage power line in case that a coupling capacitor is not working properly any more. Also, using ferrite core, a novel broadband impedance matching transformer is developed. A complete coupling unit with a coupling capacitor, a drain coil, and a matching transformer is housed by polymer for good isolation and distinguishing from high voltage electric facilities. Each is fabricated and its frequency behavior is tested. Finally, complete signal couplers are equipped in a MV PLC test bed and their performance are measured. The measurement shows that the coupling capacitor works excellently.

During the last several years, interest in broad-band power line communications (PLC) has been grown over medium voltage(MV) power distribution lines as well as low voltage lines. This paper introduces a medium voltage PLC test field that is set up in the suburbs of Euiwang city in Korea. This test field could be used not only for the measurement of communication channel environment but also for internet service. This paper shows the configuration of medium voltage test field with network devices like MV signal coupler and the results of channel environment like noise and impulse response. It also shows the service performance of PLC access network through network management system.

계통 접지(system grounding)는 어떤 이상전압 유입이나 지락 고장 등으로부터 전력 계통의 안정성을 확보할 목적으로 전원의 중성점에 적용하는 것이다. 선박에서 주로 적용되는 계통 접지는 비접지 시스템과 저항 접지 시스템이다. 440V 선박은 비접지 시스템을 적용하고, 3.3kV, 6.6kV, 11kV의 MV(medium voltage) 시스템을 사용하는 선박은 저항 접지 시스템 중에서 주로 고저항접지 방식을 적용한다. 지락 고장은 전기시스템에서 발생하는 모든 고장의 95%정도이고, 지락고장 발생 시 전력 계통의 대지전압이 과도하게 증가하여 선내 절연 시스템에 악영향을 주게 된다. 본 논문에서는 선박에서 적용하는 저항접지 시스템에 대해 지락 고장 발생시 지락 정도에 따라 전력 계통의 대지전압 중성점의 변동 특성을 확인하고자 한다. 이를 위해 우선 접지 시스템의 종류에 따른 특성을 알아보고, 선박의 저항 접지 시스템의 대지전압 중성점에 대한 모델링을 유도한다. 최종적으로 다양한 변수환경에 따라서 대지전압, 선간전압, 중성점 전위 등이 어떻게 변동되는지 MATLAB을 이용한 시뮬레이션을 통해 지락고장 발생시 나타나는 선내 전압의 변화특성을 분석한다.

This paper first outlines the technology used in Power Line Communications(PLC) systems, and the political support being offered to the technology, from the point of view of its effect on electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). The radio spectrum needs protection from other interferers, and there is a regime in place to provide this interference avoidance/mitigation. Nevertheless, PLC has several features that mean that it is capable of creating such interference. These features are discussed, and some published field trial results are reviewed. Difficulties in achieving compatibility between the requirements for radio protection and the requirements for operation of the PLC system mean that there is no consensus as yet as to how PLC system components can be made compliant with EMC requirements. It is concluded that there is little prospect of an accommodation between the competing demands, so that if PLC is to become widespread it will be at the expense of the radio environment.

In this paper a modular high performance MV-to-LV rectifier based on a cascaded H-bridge rectifier is presented. The proposed rectifier can directly connect to the medium voltage levels and provide a low-voltage and highly-stable DC interface with the consumer applications. The input stage eliminates the necessity for heavy and bulky step-down transformers. It corrects the input power factor and maintains the voltage balance among the individual DC buses. The second stage includes the high frequency parallel-output DC/DC converters which prepares the galvanic isolation, regulates the output voltage, and attenuates the low frequency voltage ripple ($2f_{line}$) generated by the first stage. The parallel-output converters can work in interleaving mode and the active load-current sharing technique is utilized to balance the load power among them. The detailed analysis for modeling and control of the proposed structure is presented. The validity and performance of the proposed topology is verified by simulation and experimental results.

Electric cables are one of the most important components in a nuclear power plant since they provide the power needed to operate electrical equipment. Despite their importance, cables typically receive little attention since they are considered passive, long-lived components that have been very reliable over the years when subjected to the environmental conditions for which they were designed. The operating experience reveals that a defect of the insulator or poor construction causes the initial failure of cable. However, the number of cable failures increase with plant aging, and these cable failures are occurring within the plants' 40-year licensed period. These cable failures have resulted in plant transients, shutdown, loss of safety functions or redundancy, entries into limiting conditions for operation, and challenges for plant operators. Therefore, diagnosis of MV cable installed in NPPs has become one of the most urgent issues in recent years. In accordance with PSR, condition maintenance for cables is also continuously required. Recently, HFPD tests have been widely performed to diagnose cable in the transmission and distribution cable system. However, on-line HFPD wasn't used in the NPPs because of the danger of plant shutdown, measurement sensitivity and application problems, etc. In this paper, HFPD measurement with portable device was performed to evaluate the integrity of the 4.16kV & 13.8kV cable lines. The test results show that HFPD is highly attractive to the diagnosis of MV cables in NPP by high detection sensitivity on-site.
