Insulation coordination is a key problem in UHVDC systems in terms of safety and cost. Although high-voltage ±1100kV UHVDC projects are being planned in China, the characteristics and key points of high-voltage systems have not yet been analyzed. This study aims to improve the safe, effective operation of these high-voltage power transmission systems. First, we analyzed two typical insulation coordination schemes used in ±800kV UHVDC systems in China. Next, we used the two typical ±800kV insulation coordination schemes as a reference to analyze the ±1100kV UHVDC system. Finally, we compared these schemes and proposed an effective insulation coordination solution, as well as developing principles for ±1100kV UHVDC systems. Our findings indicate that the points enduring the highest voltage in the system should be protected separately by special arresters. Our analysis of the insulation coordination of ±800kV and ±1100kV UHVDC systems concluded that, in ±1100kV UHVDC systems, the main goal of insulation coordination is to lower the insulation level of points enduring the highest voltage. However, in a ±800kV UHVDC system, the main goal is to reduce the cost of manufacture for arresters, as well as the space occupation in the valve hall, with an acceptable insulation level.

This paper dealt with the propagation characteristics of acoustic signals produced by partial discharges and the positioning of PD origin in insulation oil to develop insulation diagnostic techniques of oil-immerged transformers. Electrode systems such as needle to plane, plane to plane, and particle electrodes were fabricated to simulate some defects of power transformers. In addition, the frequency spectrum and propagation characteristics of acoustic signals with partial discharge (PD) in insulation oil were analyzed. Although there were differences based on the type of defect, the frequency spectra of the acoustic signals measured by wide and narrow band acoustic emission (AE) sensors were distributed in the range of 50 kHz-400 kHz. Therefore, a narrowband AE sensor is suitable for the diagnosis of oil-immersed power transformers. We could find the position of the PD source with an error margin of 10% in the experiments by calculating the position of the PD occurrence using the time difference of arrival measured by five AE sensors.

This paper describes the lightning surge analysis model of extra high voltage GIS using EMTP. Various lightning current parameters were investigated in order to confirm the impact on the lightning surge analysis such as lightning current amplitude, waveform, size of GIS, tower footing resistance and surge arresters. The multi-story tower model and EMTP/TACS model were introduced for the simulation of dynamic arc characteristics. The margin between the maximum overvoltage and BIL of the GIS was about 10 percent and the margin between the maximum overvoltage and BIL of the transformer was 21 percent.

Polymeric suspended insulators for the electric track line have been developed. The main elements to design polymeric insulators are the insulation ability related with materials of FRP core and housing, and the optimal structure related with fitting parts and interface characteristics. To confirm the design fitness of insulator samples the electric field distribution by FEM and mechanical stress distribution by NASTRAN program was analysed with housing shed shapes and fitting structure. The leakage distance and breakage voltage properties which are core parameters to determine electric insulation ability are selected according to the requirement values of user specification, then the power frequency wet withstand voltage was specified above 22kV and the leakage distance was required above 290mm. The contamination condition of the electric track line was the heavy class according to IEC 815 in order to retain the enough safety margin against overvoltages.

In designing three phase enclosure type EHV class gas insulated bus (GIB), it is essential to estimate the magnitude and the position where the maximum electric field strength occur. The improvement of insulation design can only be initiated after those informations have been obtained. In this paper, the calculated electric field strength for three phase GIB of HICO 362kV 63kA GIS is presented. The result shows that the designed insulator has enough margin compared with the design criteria.

최근 초고속 이더넷(ethernet)의 데이터 및 동작주파수 속도가 증가하고 있으며, 이에 따라 EMI(electromagnetic interference)가 증가하고 있다. 이러한 EMI의 발생은 주변 전자기기들에 영향을 미쳐 오동작 원인이 될 가능성이 높다. 본 연구에서는 고속 이더넷 스위치 EMI 발생의 주요 원인인 DC-DC SMPS (switching mode power supply)에서 발생하는 EMI 저감을 위해 EMI 필터를 적용하였다. EMI 필터소자는 소형화, 양산화에 장점을 가지며, 내전압(dielectric voltage) 특성이 우수한 MLCC (multi-layer ceramic capacitor)를 사용하였다. MLCC 필터는 X-커패시터 및 X, Y-커패시터로 구성되어 있다. X-커패시터는 10 nF 및 100 nF 용량의 2개의 MLCC와 1개의 마일러 콘덴서(mylar capacitor)로 구성하였다. Y-커패시터는 용량 27 nF의 6개의 MLCC를 사용하여 구성하였다. X-커패시터만을 EMI 필터로 적용한 경우, 전도성(conductive) EMI는 150 kHz ~ 30 MHz의 주파수 대역에서 EMI 전계강도가 허용 한계치를 초과함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 방사성(radiative) EMI도 특정 주파수에서 EMI 전계 강도가 높고, 허용 마진폭도 매우 적음을 알 수 있었다. 반면 X, Y-커패시터를 적용하였을 경우, 전 주파수 대역에서 전도성 EMI가 크게 감소하였으며, 방사선 EMI도 충분한 마진이 확보됨을 알 수 있었다. 또한 X, Y-커패시터의 전기적인 신뢰성을 평가하기 위하여 절연 저항(insulation resistance) 및 내전압 성능을 측정하였으며, 절연 저항 및 내저항 성능이 모두 전기적 신뢰성 기준을 만족함을 알 수 있었다. 결론적으로 MLCC 필터를 X, Y-커패시터로 사용하여 전도성 및 방사성 EMI 노이즈가 효과적으로 감소되었고, 우수한 전기적인 신뢰성도 확보됨을 알 수 있었다.

Quench behavior of resistive superconducting fault current limiters (SFCLS) with various pattern shapes was investigated. The pattern shapes employed were meander, bi-spiral, and spital shapes of identical line width, gap and margin. SFCLS were fabricated from YBCO thin films grown on two-inch diameter Al$_2$O$_3$ substrates under the same conditions. The total length of current limiting paths was the shortest at the spital shape due to its larger useless space. Inductance component of SFCLs with the spiral shape was around two times as high as those of other two shapes. This is not desirable since impedance characteristics of existing power systems can be changed. Resistance rise of current limiting elements was low at a spiral shape before the whole quench completion, which may act as a disadvantage for simultaneous quench in serial connection between current limiting elements, but the temperature tended to have similar values at higher voltages. On the other hand, hi-spital shape was severe at insulation level between current limiting lines. When these aspects were considered, we concluded that a meander shape was appropriate to design for a resistive SFCL based on thin films except the concentration of electric field at edge areas of strip lines.

Here we present the comparative experimental study of the stability of the superconducting state in 4 mm YBCO tapes with copper lamination against local heat disturbances at 77 K. The samples are either directly cooled by immersing a bare YBCO tape into a liquid nitrogen pool or operate in nearly-adiabatic conditions when the tape is covered by a 0.6 mm layer of Kapton insulation. Main quench characteristics, i.e. minimum quench energies (MQEs) and normal zone propagation (NZP) velocities for both samples are measured and compared. Minimum NZP currents are determined by a low ohmic resistor technique eligible for obtaining V - I curves with a negative differential resistance. The region of transport currents satisfying the stationary stability criterion is found for the different cooling conditions. Finally, we use the critical temperature margin as a universal scaling parameter to compare the MQEs obtained in this work for YBCO tapes at 77 K with those taken from literature for low-temperature superconductors in vacuum at 4.2 K, as well as for MgB2 wires cooled with a cryocooler down to 20 K.

Freezing and thawing of pore water within backfill can affect the stability of retaining wall as the phase change of pore water causes changes in the mechanical characteristics of backfill material. In this study, the effects of freezing and thawing on the mechanical performance of retaining wall with granular backfill were investigated for various temperature and groundwater level (GWL) conditions. The thermal and mechanical finite element analyses were performed by assigning the coefficient of lateral earth pressure according to phase change of soil for at-rest, active and passive stress states. For the at-rest condition, the mobilized lateral stress and overturning moment changed markedly during freezing and thawing. Active-state displacements for the thawed condition were larger than for the unfrozen condition whereas the effect of freezing and thawing was small for the passive condition. GWL affected significantly the lateral force and overturning moment (Mo) acting on the wall during freezing and thawing, indicating that the reduction of safety margin and wall collapse due to freezing and thawing can occur in sudden, unexpected patterns. The beneficial effect of an insulation layer between the retaining wall and the backfill in reducing the heat conduction from the wall face was also investigated and presented.
