As the expension of metropolis and increasing of housing site, GIL(Gas Insulated Line) comes to the fore as an alternative to overhead transmission line avoided by local resident. The certification and experimental test for the GIL is now in progress in under ground test lab, Go-chang. For the test, we propose a method of PQ(pre-qualification) test which is essential for development and field application in this paper. The test following this method take about 200 days or 300 days under the circumstances.

This paper presents DB Index method simulator for induced voltage to a communication line from an overhead power transmission line in steady state. DB index method is based on EMTP simulation results. The simulation is implemented for 3,500,000 cases which are combined by employing transmission line parameter of KEPCO.

Conductors in overhead transmission lines are exposed under various environmental conditions for a long period of time, so that they may be slowly degraded due to air pollutant or thermal history. Aged conductors may reduce power system reliability and public safety. Therefore, diagnosis of aged conductors in service becomes more important concerns with respect to keeping power delivery stable with a proper capability, replacing aged conductors, or constructing a new line. In this paper, we posed a new method to diagnose the refurbishment life and estimate the remaining life of aged conductors by measuring dips. As analyzing some relations of conductor temperature, conductor current, and tension load, it could be verified that dip exactly shows mechanical tension loss for aged conductor. Based on several simulation results, it was shown that the proposed method may be effectively used to diagnose the refurbishment life or remaining one of overhead conductors.

In the paper the analysis of natural vibrations of the transmission line with use of spectral elements and the laboratory experiments is performed. The purpose of the investigation is to analyze the natural vibrations of the transmission line and compare with the results obtained in the numerical simulations. Particular attention is paid to the hysteretic and aerodynamic damping analysis. Sensitivity of the wave number is performed for changing of the tension force, as well as for the different damping parameters. The numerical model is made using the Spectral Element Method. In the spectral model, for various parameters of stiffness, damping and tension force, the system response is checked and compared with the results of the accelerations obtained in the measurements. A frequency response functions (FRF) are calculated. The credibility of the model is assessed through a validation process carried out by comparing graphical plots of FRF and time history analysis and numerical values expressing differences in acceleration amplitude (MSG), phase angle differences (PSG) and differences in acceleration and phase angle total (CSG) values. The next aspect constituting the purpose of this paper is to present the wide possibilities of modelling and simulation of slender conductors using the Spectral Element Method. The obtained results show good accuracy in the range of both experimental measurements as well as simulation analysis. The paper emphasizes the ease with which the sensitivity of the conductor and its response to changes in density of spectral mesh division, tensile strength or material damping can be studied.

This paper described the application of Geospatial Analysis in determining mean wind speed, $V_h$ for wind load calculation imposed to electrical transmission tower structural design. The basic wind speed data on available station obtained from Malaysian Meteorology Department is adjusted by considering terrain and ground roughness factor. The correlation between basic wind speed, terrain factor and ground roughness stated in EN-50341-1 is used to obtain the $V_h$ for overhead transmission line elements 50 m above ground. Terrain factor, $k_r$ and ground roughness, $z_0$ in this study are presented by land use types of study area. Wind load is then calculated by using equation stated in design code EN-50341-1 by using the adjusted mean wind speed. Scatter plots of $V_h$ for different $k_r$and $z_0$ are presented in this paper to see the effect of these parameters to the value of $V_h$. Geospatial analysis is used to represent the model of $V_h$. This model can be used to determine possible area that will subject to wind load which severe to the stability of transmission tower and transmission line.

Forest Fire can cause a serious damage to overhead conductors. Therefore, the detailed investigation for the changes of mechanical and electrical properties of damaged conductors should be carried out to understand the effect of forest fires on conductors. This is very much important to maintain transmission line safely. Oxidation of overhead conductor was increased with temperature and time(maximum time : 30min). Conductivity of Al conductor was decreased by Agents. The detailed will be given in the text.

Forest Fire can cause a serious damage to overhead conductors. Therefore, the detailed investigation for the changes of mechanical and electrical properties of damaged conductors should be carried out to understand the effect of forest fires on conductors. This is very much important to maintain transmission line safely. Especially, this paper describes the changes of mechanical and electrical properties of flame exposed conductor. Overhead conductors temperature were almostly 55$\sim$65% of ambient temperature. Tensile Strength decreased according to incerase of Forest Fire temperature. The detailed will be given in the text.

Because forest fire can give a serious damage to overhead conductors, the thorough understanding about sag 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%. and then sag of overhead conductor become deteriorated. The detailed results will be given in the text.

This paper studies the magnetic fields between the power lines which are finite length and other ones which are infinitely long around the first tower in the proximity of the power transformers. They will be used as a source of disturbance applied to the power line. The method applied in this study was gradual; develop the theoretical formulation of the magnetic fields of these lines which are finite length and other ones which are infinitely long, examine the effects of different couplings between the different neighboring lines and the distribution transformers on behavior of magnetic fields. The method also focused on the experimental results analyzing the magnetic fields which will be used as a source applied to the auditory implants EMC. The theoretical and experimental results were compared and discussed for three power lines (90kV, 150kV and 225kV) near the power station, and it proved the effect of these substations on the simulated and measured results of the magnetic field. The maximum intensities of magnetic fields measured at the height of 1m from the ground for the circuit of three lines close to each substation were significantly lower than the ICNIRP reference levels for occupational and non occupational exposures.
