전력 에너지는 안정하고 신뢰할 수 있도록 고장에 대한 빠른 대처가 필요하다. 고장시 빠른 수리를 위해서는 보수 승무원에게 고장 위치를 정확하게 알려주어 올바른 위치에 도착할 수 있도록 고장점 표정 알고리즘의 정확도가 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 기존 1회선 분기점을 갖는 병행 2회선 송전선로의 고장점 표정 알고리즘을 이용하여 정확한 고장 위치를 찾는 방법으로 개선된 NVP(N-version programming) 모델을 적용한 새로운 계산 방법을 제안한다. 송전선로의 고장 데이터는 EMTP(Electro Magnetic Transients Program)을 사용하여 154[kV], 25[km] 분기된, 병행 2회선 송전선로에서 고장지진과 고장저항의 데이터존 이용하여 시뮬레이션했다.

A directional feeding method at the railway transformer is applied for supplying the power to the electric railway substations, and the pre-installed facilities with common feeder are utilized in preparation for the failure of feeding system and in finding a fault location in case that the catenary failure occurs. However, it is some difficulty in finding the fault location since there is an interface problem with the facilities when the supplying power system operates. In this paper, Auto Fault Locator Transfer Drive System (ALTDS) is designed to search for the fault location efficiently, and the measuring data are obtained and compared with the KORAIL standards. Further, the ground connection test is accomplished 24 times as the verification method, and it is shown that the methodology provides better performance than the existing traditional one.

In AC feeding system, the fault location is calculated by using ratio of current absorbed in the neutral point of AT(Automatic Transformer) or by measuring reactance. In this way, however, an estimation error can be happened due to the many reasons. In addition, for measuring currents in the neutral point of AT, other measuring devices and communication equipments are additionally required. In order to solve the disadvantages, this paper suggests a novel technique using the distribution ratio of catenary current. The proposed technique uses existing protective relays and measures catenary current. With the measured data, we can calculate the distribution ratio of catenary current and determine fault location. Through the simulated results, we derived the correlation between current ratio and fault location. Using this technique, additional equipments and expenses can be reduced. Besides, fault location can be determined more correctly.

Because the distribution systems experience frequently the fault by several causes, the identification task of fault location plays very important role in the view point of power supply reliability. The distribution systems are designed as radial structure with three-phase and single-phase branch line to supply the electric power to the widely dispersed loads, and it have a several load taps within each line segment. it makes the accurate fault distance determination difficult. Accordingly in this papers, the existing fault point determination methods are surveyed and analyzed, and then a fault distance determination method for distribution feeder is adopted which can be executed effectively in DAS center. Finally, the adopted method is verified using EMTP simulation.

Due to the electrification of railways, fault at the traction line is increasing year by year. So importance of the fault locator is growing higher. Nevertheless at the field traction line, it is difficult to locate accurate fault point due to various conditions. In this paper railway feeding system current loop equation was simplified and generalized though measured data. And substation, train power data were measured under synchronized condition. Finally catenary impedance was predicted through generalized equation. Also simulation model was designed to figure out the effect of load current for train at same location. Train current was changed from min to max range and catenary impedance was compared at same location. Finally, power measurement was performed in the field at train and substation simultaneously and catenary system impedance was predicted and calculated. Through this method catenary impedance can be measured more easily and continuously compared to the past method.

High voltage distribution lines in the electric railway system placed according track with communication lines and signal equipments. Case of the over head lines is occurrence the many fault because lightning, rainstorm, damage from the sea wind and so on. According this fault caused protection device to wrong operation. One line ground fault that occurs most frequently in railway high voltage distribution lines and sort of faults is line short, three line ground breaking of a wire, and so on. For this reason we need precise maintenance for prevent of the faults. The most important is early detection and fast restoration in time of fault for a safety transit. In order to develop an advanced fault location device for 22.9[kV] distribution power network in electric railway system this paper deals with new fault locating algorithm using flow technique which enable to determine the location of the fault accurately. To demonstrate its superiorities, the case studies with the algorithm and the fault analysis using PSCAD/EMTDC (Power System Computer Aided Design/Electro Magnetic Transients DC Analysis Program) were carried out with the models of direct-grounded 22.9[kV] distribution network which is supposed to be the grounding method for electric railway system in Korea.

When a fault occurs on railway feeders it is very important to detect the fault to protect trains and facilities. Because a DC railway system has low feeder voltage, The fault current can be smaller than the current of load starting. So it is important to discriminate between the small fault current and the load starting current. The load starting current increases step by step but the fault current increases at one time. So the type of $\Delta$I/ relay(50F) was developed using the different characteristics between the load starting current and the fault current. The load starting current increases step by step so the time constant of each step is much smaller than that of the fault current. First, to detect faults in DC railway systems, an algorithm using the time constant calculated by the method of least squares is presented in this paper. If a fault occurs on DC railway systems it is necessary to find a fault location to repair the faulted system as soon as possible. The second aim of the paper is to calculate the accurate fault location using Kirchhoff's voltage law.

일본, 유럽 및 미국 등의 선진국에서는 전력인프라가 거의 정비되어, 새로운 전력설비에 대한 투자보다 설비의 유지 보수$\cdot$점검비용의 비율이 더 커져가고 있다. 이러한 환경 하에 정기적인 유지보수$\cdot$점검에 요하는 비용, 사고시의 복구에 소요되는 비용 및 정전으로 인한 손실 등을 포함하여 라이프사이클 코스트의 최적화가 논의되고 있다. 유지보수$\cdot$점검에 대하여는 종래의 정기적인 유지보수(Time Based Maintenance : TBM)에서 상태대응 유지보수(Condition Based Maintenance : CBM)에로의 이행으로 비용을 삭감하려는 시도도 진전되고 있다. 이 때문에 전력설비의 상태를 파악할 수 있는 적절한 센서의 설치와 저가격의 가반형 센서의 도입도 추진되고 있다. 또한 설비의 진단장치를 차에 실은 이동진단차의 도입도 시작되고 있어, 복수의 전력소를 순회하며 효율 좋은 유지보수$\cdot$점검을 할 수 있게 되었다. EH 변전소의 무인화에 따라 정전시간 단축을 위해 사고 시에 원방복구조작이 가능한 고장점 표정장치도 도입되고 있다. 최근에는 SF${_6}$가스의 환경문제도 화제가 되어 가스를 대기 중에 방출하는 일 없이 고장구분을 표정할 수 있는 분해가스센서도 개발되었다.
