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.

Due to a typhoon named MAEMI on Sep12, 2004, 7 transmission towers collapsed and 3 were damaged in the Gyeongnam and Busan areas. These caused long-term black-outs in Goeje-do. When a transmission tower collapses or is damaged, Construction will take more than 2 months and this will be accompanied by long-term black-outs. Therefore a temporary iron pole is used in such emergencies. Current temporary rehabilitation angle steel iron Pole consistes of around 800 members, 2,800 bolts and it takes about 5 days to construct a temporary transmission line. Consiquently wide black-outs occur during the construction of the temporary transmission line. To reduce black-out time, the construction period must be reduced as much as possible. This paper presents new methods to reduce temporary transmission line construction time to within 48 hours by applying a self-reliance assembling method instead of the current man power assembling method and by modulizing each angle steel with duralumin.

In this study, evaluation of load capacity and CPT-load capacity parameters were performed using calibration chamber tests for different types of piles including straight-side and tapered piles. Various soil conditions were considered in the investigation, aiming at establishing design procedure for foundation of electronic transmission tower structures. Test results show that no significant difference of total load capacity from straight-side and tapered piles, while individual components of base and shaft load capacities were quite different. Based on the test results, values of CPT-load capacity correlation parameters for different pile types were analyzed for the evaluation of both base and shaft load capacities.

국내의 송전선 지지물 설계는 전기설비기술기준과 한국전력공사 송전설계기준에 근거하여 적용되며, 철탑하중에 큰 비중을 갖는 풍하중기준은 1985년 기상청의 풍속 데이터를 반영하여 1987년경에 제정된 지침을 지금까지 적용하고 있다. 당시 제정된 설계기준에서는 지역별 풍속 차이에 따라 I, II, III, 지역 및 울릉도로 구분하여 차등 적용하는 설계개념으로 주변여건을 고려하지 않고 동일한 지역내에 위치하고 있는 송전지지물의 경우에는 동일한 풍하중을 적용하는 방식이다. 최근 해외 철탑설계기준과 국내 건축물 설계기준에서는 전산기술의 발달로 국부적인 지형영향을 고려하여 철탑별로 개별적인 풍하중을 산정하는 방식을 채택하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 상용 송전선로 설계가 진행되고 있는 군산-새만금 예정 경과지 가운데 지형조건을 고려한 풍속할증이 요구되는 개소에 대한 설계 풍하중 검토사례를 소개한다.

본 논문에서는 송전철탑에 작용하는 설계하중으로서 [송전철탑 설계풍속에 관한 연구]에 근거하여 1987년 6월 제정된 지역별설계 풍하중기준의 개정을 위한 연구결과를 수록하였다. 당시 제정된 송전설계기준은 이전에 전국적으로 통일시켜 적용되던 풍속압($76kg/m^2$)을 지역별 풍속을 구분하여 그 차이에 따라 I, II, III, 지역 및 울릉도로 구분하여 차등 적용하였으며, 본 연구에서는 국내 기상청이 생긴 이래 2005년까지 누적된 기상 DB의 분석을 통하여 최근의 기상 현상을 반영한 보다 현실적인 설계기준 개정과정을 수록하였다. 본 논문에서는 1980년대 후반부터 약 20년간의 기상청의 풍향, 풍속자료를 추가로 확보하여 이를 분석하고 재현기간을 반영한 지역별 설계하중을 재산정하여 최근의 기상자료를 포함하여 보다 정확한 분석을 도모하고, 사회 환경의 급변함에 따라 우려되는 기상이변 등을 고려한 안전성과 경제성이 향상된 설계기준의 산정과정을 고찰하고자 한다.

This paper presents a special protection scheme, which was established in the KEPCO (Korea Electric Power Corporation) system, against a critically low voltage profile in a part of the system after a double-circuit tower outage. Without establishing the scheme, the outage triggers the operation of a zone 3 relay and trips the component. This sequence of events possibly leads to a blackout of the local system. The scheme consists of an inter-substation communication network using PITR (Protective Integrated Transmitter and Receiver) for acquisition of the substations' data, and under-voltage load shedding devices. This paper describes the procedure for determining the load shedding in the scheme and the experiences of the implementation.

In this study the formula of electro magnetic fields under 3-phase power lines with vertical or horizontal line-configurations were deduced and the effect of the earth was considered in the formula. Using the formula the electric field and the magnetic flux density under distribution and transmission lines constucted currently in our country were calculated and the components of each field were investigated with horizontal distance from tower and height above the earth.

This is preliminary study concerning the future construction and operation of 345KV power transmission line in Korea which will be added to the existing 161KV power system by the end of 1970 in order to increase the power carrying capacity between Seoul and Pusan area; 350 kilo meters aparts, in accordance with the ambitious second five years power development schedule of Korea Electric Company. The result of this study says that an intermidiate switching station should be installed at the middle position of the line to improve the transient stability of the system, considerable amount of capacitors or synchronous condenser are to be installed to reduce the voltage drop at receving end of line during the heavy load hours, and also in some measure to avoid the voltage rise by self-excitation of power generators during the light load hours and while energizing the line. This is the first attempt to realize the EHV power transmission line in Korea so that the additional study is necessary on the kind and size of conductors, the necessary number of insulators and the suitable clearance distances between conductor and steel tower or earth from the technical and economical view points. These are necessary steps to be taken by the writer before getting into the calculation on the transient stablity of the power system.

In case the overload of an existing power line is expected as the consumption of electric power increase, we substitute STACIR/AW which has better thermal characteristic for ACSR. That can approximately double the transmission capacity. In that case the mechanical characteristics of STACIR/AW should meet the design condition of the existing tower. However, the strength of invar in STACIR/AW is lower than that of steel in ACSR, which makes it difficult to keep the safety of a conductor specially in a long span In this regard, this paper presents the new conductor model using the AMC and the analysis of its characteristics.

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.
