A new high strength conductor was designed for long span transmission line with a high nitrogen steel having high tensile strength and non-magnetic properties and high strength AI alloy. The tensile strength of conductor is very important to reduce the sag. The height of electric tower depend on the sag also. More than 36% less of sag was achieved by using ACHR(Aluminum conductor stranded high-nitrogen steel reinforced) instead of conventional ACSR.

One of the major problems faced by the overhead conductor engineer is in the estimation of the loss in strength of conductors caused by long and short term exposures over a period years to elevated temperature. From the standpoint that the life of conductor is influnced by softening of Al wire, the life assessment of conductor was carried out. The aluminum components will be affected most in majority of conductors. The steel core if present will not be affected by temperatures below $225^{\circ}C$. The detailed description will be presented in the text.

A detailed study on aged sleeves for old transmission lines was carried out to clarify the deterioration of sleeves and the condition of installation. A lot of removed aged sleeves from transmission lines were investigated. Many biased installed cases and corrosion of steel sleeve part were found. These defects can cause a serious accident such as blackout during operating. The temperature distribution within sleeve of ACSR conductor was precisely measured and examined, conducted as part of series of studies on large currents in transmission lines. According to measurements of the conductor temperature near a joint(sleeve and clamp), the electrical resistance of joint is lower than that of the same length conductor. The detailed results were presented in the text.

Because forest fire can give a serious damage to overhead conductors, the thorough understanding about aging behavior of burned conductor is very important in maintaining the transmission line safely. Therefore, a systematic investigation was carried out by heating method. As the heating temperature increases, drastic change of tensile strength of Al wire due to the softening of Al wire occurred. When Al wire is exposed to the flame(about $800^{\circ}C$) during only 13 seconds, the remained tensile strength of Al wire showed under 90%. The detailed results will be given in the text.

With the social atmosphere of respect for human life and the increasing interest in safety of field workers, research and development is underway in various ways to transform direct live method into indirect live method in the field of distribution. As part of this measure, it was necessary to convert electric pole and complex facilities work from machining power distribution to indirect live operation, and install a straight connecting sleeve that connects cut wires for by-pass method, but it failed to meet the tensile strength standard when constructing a sleeve constructed by direct method. In this paper, the design factors were derived based on the case of overseas similar sleeves and the tensile strength evaluation of each variable was performed, based on the analysis of these test results, the method for securing tensile strength of straight-line access sleeves for indirect running was presented.

Thermal rating or lifetime evaluation for aged overhead transmission line becomes more important concerns with respect to keeping power delivery stable having proper capability. Both load rating and dip/clearance are essential factors to determine transmission capacity. In order to evaluate thermal rating and conductor lifetime for domestic transmission lines with double-circuit, the dip/ground clearance standards as well as the electrical equipment technical standard are examined. Conductor temperature and dip are calculated under the assumption of a contingency, and then, a method to up-rate load capacity is searched. As thermal rating and limit dip for aged conductor are properly evaluated, an improved strategy in order to guarantee the existing power system reliability is presented in this paper.

이상기후 변화에 따라 전력 수요량이 매년 증가하는 추세에 따른 전력 보유량이 줄어들고 있는 실정이다. 5차 전력수급 계획에 따르면 전력 소비량에 비해 전력공급 설비 증가량이 매우 부족한 실정이다. 이에 기존의 가공송전선인 ACSR에 전력송전 용량을 증가시킬 수 있는 방안으로 알루미늄 도체에 합금 원소를 첨가하여 특성을 향상시키나, 도체의 형상을 Round Type에서 Trapezoidal Type으로 변경함에 따라 도체의 점적률을 약 20~25% 향상시킴으로 전력송전 용량을 향상시킨 증용량 가공송전선 개발이 진행되고 있다. 또한 지지선을 고강도, 비자성 특성을 갖는 강선 및 고강도, 저 선팽창계수 특성을 갖는 복합재료를 사용함으로써 가공송전선의 이도 특성을 향상시킨 가공선 개발이 활발히 진행되고 있다.

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.

본 논문에서는 22.9kV 고압 가공 배전선로를 고속 전력선 통신을 위한 통신 채널로 사용하기 위하여 전력선 통신 주파수 $2MHz{\sim}30MHz$ 대역에 대한 특성 파라미터를 해석하였다. 먼저 고압 배전선로에 주로 사용되는 ACSR-OC 케이블에 대한 구조를 분석하고 이의 특성 파라미터로부터 분포정수와 특성 임피던스를 구하였다. 또한 등각 사상법을 이용하여 유전체가 코팅된 평행 2선식 고압 배전선로의 정전용량 및 유효유전상수를 계산하였다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 고압 배전선로의 분포정수와 특성임피던스를 구하였으며, 특성임피던스는 케이블 단면적에 따라서 $470{\ell}{\sim}530{\ell}$ 사이의 분포를 나타내었다. 특히, 특성 임피던스는 지면을 완전 전기도체로 가정할 경우에 비하여 실제 지면의 도전율과 유전상수를 고려할 때 20MHz 이하의 대역에서 보다 높은 값을 갖는 것을 확인하였다.
