1970년대 이후 반도체 기술의 발달로 Thyristor Valve 가 기존의 Mercury Arc Valve를 대체 하면서 HVDC 기술이 급격히 향상되고 교류송전에 비해 직류송전이 갖는 여러 가지 이점 때문에 최근 HVDC 송전이 점점 증가하고 있는 추세에 있다. 본 연구에서는 2000년에 발표된 CIGRE 189.의 "800kV급까지의 HVDC 송전케이블의 전기적 평가 권고안" 에 준하여, 제조된 케이블의 전기적 평가를 위한 고전압 임펄스 중첩회로를 모듈별로 구성하고 그 회로의 동작을 시뮬레이션 프로그램으로 모의하고 전기적 시험회로의 구성가능성을 평가하였다.

This paper describes insulation design and its reliability evaluation of ${\pm}80kV$ HVDC XLPE cable. Recently, the construction of HVDC transmission system, which is combined overhead line with underground cable, has been completed. This system is installed with existing 154 kV AC transmission line on the same tower. In this paper, the lightning transient analysis is firstly reviewed for selection of basic impulse insulation level and nominal insulation thickness. Then the electrical performance tests including load cycle test and superimposed impulse test based on CIGRE TB 496 are performed to evaluate the reliability of newly designed HVDC cable. There is no breakdown for ${\pm}80kV$ HVDC XLPE cable during electrical performance test. Finally, this system is installed in Jeju island based on successful electrical performance test (Type test). After installation tests are also successfully completed.

Dynamic thermal rating (DTR) system is an effective method to improve the capacity of existing overhead line. According to the methodology based on CIGRE (International Council on Large Electric systems) standard, ampacity values under steady-state heating balance can be calculated from ambient environmental conditions. In this study, simulation analysis of relations between parameters and ampacity is described as functional dependence, which can provide an effective basis for the design and research of overhead transmission lines. The simulation of ampacity variation in different rating scales is described in this paper, which are determined from real-time meteorological data and conductor state parameters. To test the performance of DTR in different rating scales, capacity improvement and risk level are presented. And the experimental results show that the capacity of transmission line by using DTR has significant improvement, with low probability of risk. The information of this study has an important reference value to the operation management of power grid.

Modern power systems are very complex and to model them completely is impractical for electromagnetic transient studies. Therefore areas outside the immediate area of interest must be represented by some form of frequency dependent equivalent. This paper presents the formulation for developing 1 & 2 port Frequency Dependent Network Equivalent (FDNE) with the instantaneous term in S-domain and illustrates its use. This 1 & 2 Port FDNE have been applied to the CIGRE Benchmark Rectifier test AC system. The electromagnetic transient package PSCAD/EMTDC is used to assess the transient response of the 1 & 2 port (FDNE) developed with Norton Equivalent network.

This paper is aimed to address a simultaneous optimization of the size, shape, and topology of steel lattice towers through a combination of the radial basis function (RBF) neural networks and the artificial bee colony (ABC) metaheuristic algorithm to reduce the computational time because mere metaheuristic optimization algorithms require much time for calculations. To verify the results, use has been made of the CIGRE Tower and a 132 kV transmission towers as numerical examples both based on the design requirements of the ASCE10-97, and the size, shape, and topology have been optimized (in both cases) once by the RBF neural network and once by the MSTOWER analyzer. A comparison of the results shows that the neural network-based method has been able to yield acceptable results through much less computational time.

This paper described the measurement technology to analyze the partial discharge characteristics for long term aging of insulations. This system was consisted of high voltage generation and measurement part, PD detection part, digital conversion and signal processing part. We used the VXI system for digital conversion and signal processing part. In the digital conversion part, we studied the error of partial discharge magnitude and memory capacity for reading digital signal with the sampling rate. In the signal processing part, we showed the program algorithm to count pulses and read peak values of partial discharge. The allowable minimum sampling rate of digizer was decided to 250kS/s through analyzing test. We confirmed that this system was very useful in the study of $\phi-q-n$ characteristics of long term PD experiments with specimens being consisted of internal void defects and CIGRE II electrodes.

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.

HVDC 케이블은 장거리 전력전송, 국가간 계통연계, 비동기 전력계통연계, 전력의 시장화에 따른 전력공급 제어 필요에 따라 세계적으로 널리 사용되고 있다. 국내에서는 현재 유일하게 제주-해남간 180kV HVDC 해저케이블이 운영 중에 있으며, 향후 제주도의 안정적인 전력공급을 위하여 2011년에 제주-육지간 250kV HVDC 해저케이블이 추가로 건설될 예정이다. 그래서 HVDC 해저케이블의 신속 정확하게 안정적이고 신뢰성 있는 운영을 위해서 국내에서 자체 개발한 HVDC 해저케이블에 대한 장기과통전 시험에 대한 평가 및 절차가 필요하게 되었다. 본 논문에서는 HVDC 해저케이블의 장기과통전 시험평가를 위하여 전기적 시험은 CIGRE에서 권고하고 있는 Electra 189, 219에 근거하고 기계적 시험은 IEC 60055-1, Elecrta 171에 근거하여 기술하고자 한다.

In this paper, the Selective Harmonic Mitigation-PWM (SHM-PWM) method is used in single-phase and three-phase Cascaded H-Bridge (CHB) inverters in order to fulfill different power quality standards such as EN 50160, CIGRE WG 36-05, IEC 61000-3-6 and IEC 61000-2-12. Non-equal DC link voltages are used to increase the degrees of freedom for the proposed SHM-PWM technique. In addition, it will be shown that the obtained solutions become continuous and without sudden changes. As a result, the look-up tables can be significantly reduced. The proposed three-phase modulation method can mitigate up to the 50th harmonic from the output voltage, while each switch has just one switching in a fundamental period. In other words, the switching frequency of the power switches are limited to 50 Hz, which is the lowest switching frequency that can be achieved in the multilevel converters, when the optimal selective harmonic mitigation method is employed. In single-phase mode, the proposed method can successfully mitigate harmonics up to the 50th, where the switching frequency is 150 Hz. Finally, the validity of the proposed method is verified by simulations and experiments on a 9-level CHB inverter.

Voltage instability has been studied for some decade now. But, There is not generally accepted definition of voltage instability because of the complex phenomenon and the variety of ways in which it can manifest itself. Both IEEE and CIGRE have the respective definitions. The areas of voltage instability research are the analysis, simulation and countermeasure of voltage instability. It needs to model the components of the power system to simulate the voltage instability and voltage collapse. At the beginning, the static simulation was used. This method provides the voltage stability indices and it requires less CPU resource and gives much insight into the voltage and power problem. However, it is less accurate than the dynamic simulation peformed in the time domain simulation. So, when it appears difficult to secure the voltage stability margin in a static stability, it is necessary to perform the dynamic simulation. To perform time-domain simulation, we have to model the dynamic component of the power system like a generator and a load. The dynamic simulation provides the accurate result of the voltage instability. But, it is not able to provide the sensitivity information or the degree of stability and it is time consuming and it needs much CPU resource. In this Paper, we perform a dynamic simulation of voltage instability and voltage collapse using EMTP MODELS. The exponential load model is designed with MODEIS and this load model is connected with test power system. The result shows the process of voltage change in time domain when the voltage instability or voltage collapse occurs.
