In the production power transmitting of a floating production system like a wind offshore floating, the power cable should be connected from the surface system into the subsea system. The connection between the surface and the subsea system will make the power cable get a dynamic load like current and wave forces. Based on this condition, a dynamic power cable is required to endure external physical force and vibration in the long-term condition. It needs more requirements than static power cable for mechanical fatigue properties to prevent failures during operations in marine environments where the external and internal loads work continuously. As a process to verify, the durability test of dynamic power cables under the marine operation environment condition was carried out by using domestic technology development.

The fire event occurred in fire proof zone often causes serious electrical problems such as shorts, ground faults, or open circuits in nuclear power plants. These would be directed to the loss of safe shutdown capabilities performed by safety related systems and equipments The fire event can treat the basic design principle that safety systems should keep their functions with redundancy and independency. In case of a cable fire, operators can not perform their mission properly and can misjudge the situation because of spurious operation, wrong indication or instrument. These would deteriorate the plant capabilities of safety shutdown and make disastrous conditions. In this paper, the cables of the representative nuclear power plant in korea is selected and the cable functional failure temperature by exposed fire using Cable Response to Live Fire(CAROLFIRE) is studied. It is expected that the results are very useful to know the cable failure temperature by exposed fire. We confirmed the safety and integrity of the cable by exposed fire and those results will use the based data of cable exposed fire characteristics.

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 investigate the status of korean power system and underground transmission system. Based on this, the feasibility study on applying 22kV class HTS cable to korean power system is carried out and then we propose the new power system configuration of metropolitan area with 22kV class HTS cable.

The unbalance currents flow the High Temperature Superconducting (HTS) power cable caused by asymmetrical fault, harmonic distortion and unbalanced load. That problem causes additional loss and leakage field in the HTS power cable, and deteriorates the electric power quality and stability. In addition, large amounts of unbalanced current can cause negative sequence and ground relays to operate. This paper presents an analysis unbalanced three-phase current distribution in HTS power cable caused by unbalanced load condition and grounding methods using PSCAD/EMTDC. The results obtained through the analysis would provide important data for the design of HTS power cables and valid information for their installation in power system.

This paper discusses the characteristics of sheath circulating current as well as the development and application of new software for underground power cable systems. Generally, in steady state, high sheath circulating current causes the increase of sheath temperature and thermal resistance which leads to the steeply reduction of the power capacity. Therefore, the exact calculation of sheath circulating current is required for analysis about the influence of high sheath current on permissible current. In this paper, Power Cable Simulator is developed for calculation of the sheath current. It can analyse the sheath current by real time. It is also easier to use than conventional software, such as EMTP and CabSim, because all the data for calculating the cable parameters are stored in a database(DB) within Power Cable Simulator. In addition, the accuracy of Power Cable Simulator is also proved through the comparison among the current calculated by Power Cable Simulator, EMTP and Cabsim with measured current.

A floating green hydrogen production platform is considered a suitable facility for the hydrogen supply chain in the future. In this study, we analyzed the dynamic behavior of a floating green hydrogen production platform according to changes in the outer diameter of the connecting power cable. The platform consists of a floater that generates hydrogen and an offshore wind turbine, and a connection power cable is attached to the floater to supply the electric power produced by the offshore wind turbine. In this study, it was found that variations of the outer diameter of the connection power cable had a minor effect on the dynamic behavior on the floater, and the larger the outer diameter of the connecting power cable, the greater the effective tension. As a result, it was found that the outer diameter of the cable was not a major variable in the entire production system design.

To develop the thermal analysis method for the thermal behavior of HTS power cable system, cooled with sub-cooled liquid nitrogen, new thermo dynamic model for HTS cable system is introduced. The introduced thermal model is mainly modified from the thermal circuit following to IEC60287 for underground power cable systems such as XLPE or paper wrapped insulation cables. The thermal circuits for HTS cables are similar to the forced cooled underground cable system but the major thermal parameters and the configuration is apparently different to the normal cable systems so there has been no proposals in this field of analysing method. In this paper, 154kV HTS cable system has been introduced as an aspects of thermal models and a thermal circuit is proposed for the fundamentals on the dynamic rating systems for the HTS cable system. By using the thermal circuit developed in this paper, the optimal controls on the sub-cooling system's capacity become possible and it is expected to make the efficiency of HTS cable higher than conventional static controls.

Crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) insulated cables are now widely used all over the world for extra-high voltage underground transmission systems. Prefabricated type (compression type) joint has developed in order to shorten the assembly time and lower the possibility of contamination at site by many companies in the world. For outdoor termination, to control the electric field distribution as uniform as possible, especially for the use of extra-high voltage system. much of products are adopting the oil-impregnated condensor cone type instead of electric field control element which uses the permitivity of it only (not capacitance). For Gas-immersed termination, dimension of outer insulation bushing was determined by IEC Publication 859. The highest voltage of underground power cable system is 345kV now, in Korea. We have much of experiences of the development of prefabricated type accessories for CV cable systems (154kV, 161kV, 230kV level). So it was possible to inspect the proto type of accessories for 345kV CV cable system and seems that the need time for the development of products is reduced.
