HVDC(High Voltage Direct Current) is an underwater cable between Jeju Island and Haenam in main land and supplies approximately 50% of electrical usage in Jeju Island. If there is any power failure due to HVDC, it will cost approximately 50,000 US dollars per day including Thermal Electrical Generation. Therefore it is absolutely necessary to recover the problem in rapid timely basis. In conclusion, evaluation methode of HVDC cable is needed urgently to upgrade current HVDC underwater cable repair technique in Korea to minimize the cost and time factors.

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.

With the advent of nano-particle fillers in insulating materials, the insulating materials of superior quality have come to fore. In the recent past, nanocomposite LDPE/XLPE (Low Density Polyethylene/Cross Linked Polyethylene) power cable dielectrics have been synthesized. A preliminary evaluation of these new class of materials seem to show that, addition of small amounts of sub-micron inorganic fillers improved the dielectric properties of the composite, in particular, the volume resistivity, and the DC breakdown strength. The thermal behaviour, for example, the stability of composites against decomposition and ensuing electrical failure, do not seem to have been addressed. In a conventional XLPE insulated cable, the average thermal breakdown strength and maximum temperature at the onset of breakdown were seen to be markedly lower than the corresponding intrinsic breakdown strength and decomposition temperature. In this page, analysis of DC Breakdown of nano-composite insulating material for HVDC Cable is introduced.

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.
