HVDC 시스템은 초고압 직류 송전 시스템으로써, AC를 DC로 변환하여 장거리 송전에 유리한 시스템이다. 현재 대륙간 송전 및 주파수 변환을 위한 BtB Topology에 많이 응용되고 있다. HVDC 시스템의 장점은 일정 송전거리 이상이 되면, DC가 AC에 비하여 손실율이 적고 유리한 장점이 있다. 해당 HVDC Valve는 전력을 AC-DC-AC로 변환하려면, HVDC Valve(Module)이라고 불리는 전력 변환 장치가 필수적이다. 해당 Valve를 현장에 설치하기 전에 IEC 60700-1 또는 CIGRE 같은 국제 표준 규격에 맞추어 Type Test를 진행 후에 통과 시 현장에 설치되어야 한다. 해당 Type Test는 크게 2가지로 분류되며, 절연 성능을 시험하기위한 Dielectric Test 그리고, 실제 Thyristor Valve의 동작을 가혹 한 조건에서 시험하기위한 Operational Test가 필요하다. 본 논문은 IEC 규격 (IEC 60700-1)에 의거 사이리스터 밸브에 대한 Operational Test 중 단락시험방법과 시험내용을 기술하고, 시험결과로 검증한다.

Recently, the biggest issue in the electricity industry is the increase in renewable energy, and various technologies are being developed to ensure the capacity of the power system. In addition, super-grids linking power systems are being pushed to utilize eco-friendly energy between countries and regions worldwide. The HVDC transmission technology is required to link the power network between regions with different characteristics of the power system such as frequency and voltage. Until now, Korea has applied HVDC transmission technology that connects mainland and Jeju Island with submarine cables. But, the HVDC transmission technology is still developing for long-distance high-capacity power transmission from power parks on the east coast to load-tight areas near the metropolitan area. Considering the high population density and mountainous domestic environment, it is pushing for commercialization of the design technology of the ${\pm}500kV$ Double Bipole with metallic return wire transmission line to transmit large-scale power of 8 GW using minimal right of ways. In this paper, the insulation characteristics were studied for the design of double-bipole transmission tower with metallic return wire, which is the first time in the world. And the air insulation characteristics resistant to the various overvoltage phenomena occurring on transmission lines were verified through a full-scale impulse voltage test.

The electrical discharge of high voltage direct current(HVDC) overhead transmission line generate audible noise, radio noise, electric field, ion current and induced voltage on the ground. These items are major factors to design environmentally friendly configuration of DC transmission line. Therefore, HVDC transmission lines must be designed to keep all these corona effects within acceptable levels. Several techniques have been used to assess interference caused by ions on HVDC overhead transmission line. In this study, to assess the ion characteristic of DC line, the ion current density and induced voltage caused by ion flow were measured by plate electrodes manufactured from a metal flat board and charged bodies, respectively. The charged body has two types of cylinder and cylindrical plate. From the results of calibration experiments, the sensitivity of flat electrode and charged body can be obtained. At present, the developed system is used to investigate the ion generation characteristics of Kochang DC ${\pm}500kV$ test line.

HVDC is better economic method than HVAC in case of long distance transmission and it is possible to interconnect transmission lines regardless of difference of power frequency. The electrical environment problems of HVDC overhead transmission line are electric field, charged voltage, ion current and so on. For biopolar HVDC lines, most of the ions are directed toward the opposite polarity conductor, but a significant fraction is also directed toward the ground. These problems are major factor to design configuration of HVDC overhead transmission line. Therefore, It is necessary to test an environmental characteristics of HVDC overhead transmission line. In this paper, to assess the ion characteristic of HVDC transmission line, continuous measurements have been done on the biopolar single circuit line with ACSR 480mm2-6 bundle conductors of Gochang HVDC Test line. And then the ion characteristics were analyzed.

Small ions generated at conductor corona sources remain in the atmosphere until they recombine with ions of opposite polarity, attach to aerosols, or make contact with an object. Ion current density is major factor to design conductor configuration of DC overhead transmission line. Several techniques have been used to measure the ion current of HVDC overhead transmission line. In this study, the ion current density was measured by a plate electrode made of a metal flat board at DC corona cage. The sensitivity of the plate electrode is $0.156uA/m^2/V$. To obtain an useful database on corona discharge, it is necessary to do corona test on several kinds of conductor bundles. Therefore, a number of experiments were conducted on several kinds of conductor bundles. To reliably analyze ion effects, corona cage test data were obtained over a long period of time under various weather conditions and expressed as a statistical distribution. Ion current density distribution in foul weather shows a significant increase in levels over the corresponding fair weather. Based on this results, we evaluated the environmental characteristic caused by ion flow of three candidated conductor bundles.

Recently, according to the growth of national economy and the improvement of lining conditions, electric power demand is increasing gradually. So it is being examined to construct large thermal power plants or nuclear plants.

온실가스 다량 배출로 인한 지구온난화 현상은 많은 분야에서의 변화를 요구하고 있다. 특히 온실가스 배출의 주원인으로 꼽히고 있는 발전 등 에너지산업 분야의 경우 그 요구는 매우 거세다. 과거에는 경제성장이라는 측면만 고려하면 됐지만, 지금은 기후변화 대응을 위해 환경을 최우선적으로 고려할 것을 주문하고 있기 때문이다. 문제는 현재 전 세계적으로 약 20%에 이르는 인구가 전기 에너지를 사용하지 못하고 있다는 점이다. 즉 향후 에너지를 사용하고자 하는 신규 소비자는 더욱 늘 것이고, 산업의 발전으로 인한 에너지 소비 역시 큰 폭으로 증가할 수밖에 없다. 문제가 굉장히 어렵지만 해결책도 분명 존재한다. 결론적으로 말해 온실가스 배출을 최소화하면서도 에너지 효율은 높인 기술을 개발하면 되는 것이다. 그리고 이미 세계 각국은 청정에너지 기술개발을 위해 다각도의 노력을 펼치고 있는 상황이다. 그렇다면 세계 각국은 미래 에너지시장을 선도할 청정에너지 기술로 어떤 것을 꼽고 있을까. 이 질문에 대한 대답은 지난 5월 서울에서 개최된 '제5차 클린에너지장관회의(CEM, Clean Energy Ministerial)'에서 제시된 바 있다. CEM은 한국, 미국, 영국, 독일, 중국, 일본 등 세계 에너지의 70%를 사용하는 주요 국가의 관계 장관들이 모여 클린에너지 공급 확대와 에너지효율 향상을 위한 구체적 액션플랜을 논의하는 자리다. 2010년 미국에서 첫 회의가 열렸고 아랍에미리트, 영국, 인도에 이어 한국은 5번째로 CEM을 개최했다. 특히 이번 CEM에서는 회원국들의 의견을 모아 10대 청정에너지 혁신기술을 최초로 선정, 발표했다. CEM은 "향후 10년 간 에너지 시장의 변화를 선도할 유망 기술을 선정한 것으로 IEA 등 국제기구와 주요국 기술 로드맵을 기준으로 해 23개 회원국 회람을 거쳐 최종 확정하게 됐다"고 배경을 설명했다. 이번에 선정된 10대 청정에너지 혁신기술은 ${\triangle}$초고압직류송전 ${\triangle}$에너지저장장치 ${\triangle}$바이오연료 ${\triangle}$마이크로 그리드 ${\triangle}$탄소포집 및 저장 ${\triangle}$초고효율 태양광 발전 ${\triangle}$해상풍력 ${\triangle}$신재생에너지 하이브리드시스템 ${\triangle}$빅데이터 에너지관리시스템 ${\triangle}$지열 시스템이다. 이와 관련해 산업통상자원부 윤상직 장관은 "이번에 선정된 10개의 기술은 최근의 기술적 정책적 추세가 잘 반영된 결과"라고 평가했다. 특히 윤 장관은 "중앙집중형 공급원에서 분산형 전원으로의 변화, 에너지 효율향상의 중요성, ICT와 융 복합 추세 등 우리나라의 상황에서 시사하는 바가 크다"며 "현재 수립하고 있는 '제3차 국가에너지기술 개발계획'에 이러한 기술적 추세를 반영하겠다"는 의사를 표명했다. 향후 10년 간 에너지시장의 변화를 선도할 10대 청정에너지 유망기술을 자세히 소개한다.
