In this paper, the short-term load forecasting of transformers is performed by artificial neural networks. Input parameters of the proposed algorithm are peak loads of pole-transformer of previous days and their maximum and minimum temperatures. The proposed algorithm is tested for one of transformers in Seoul, Korea. Test results show that the proposed algorithm improves the accuracy of the load forecasting of transformer compared with the conventional algorithm. The reposed algorithm can help to prevent some damages by over-loads of transformers.

Because all of the short-circuit testing laboratories have the limitation of test facilities, the synthetic making test methods have been used to estimate the short-circuit making performance of the ultra high-voltage circuit breaker as the alternative to direct test methods. So, KERI(Korea Eelctrotechnology Research institute) has completed the construction of the synthetic making test facilities using the low capacity step-up transformer method which fulfill the requirements specified in newly revised IEC 62271-100 Edition 1.1(2003) and have the testing capability up to 550kV, 63kA full-pole circuit breaker. The test facilities using the low capacity step-up transformer method presented in this paper are made up of the unit equipments such as HCS(High-speed Closing Switch), ITMC(Initial Transient Making Current) circuit and UP TR(low capacity step-up transformer) and have the operating range of 17.6$^{\circ}$ $\~$ 145.1$^{\circ}$ for testing the circuit breaker rated on up to 50kA and 43.1$^{\circ}$ $\~$ 119.6$^{\circ}$ for more than 50kA.

Proper design guides are proposed for a practical dual-active bridge (DAB) converter based on the mathematical model on the steady state. The DAB converter is popular in bidirectional application due to its zero-voltage capability and easy bidirectional operation for seamless control, high efficiency, and performance. Some design considerations are taken to overcome the limitation of the DAB converter. The practical design methodology of power stage is discussed to minimize the conduction and switching losses of the DAB converter. Small-signal model and frequency response are derived and analyzed based on the generalized average method, which considers equivalent series resistance, to improve the dynamics, stability, and reliability with voltage regulation of the practical DAB converter. The design of closed-loop control is discussed by the derived small-signal model to obtain the pertinent gain and phase margin in steady-state operation. Experimental results of a 3.3 kW prototype of DAB converter demonstrate the validity and effectiveness of the proposed methods.

Criteria for insulating oil condition of pole transformer were suggested by applying the UV-Visible spectrophotometric method. Aging of insulating oil caused the change in absorbances of oil as well as the deterioration of electrical properties of oil. By comparing the electrical properties such as tan$\delta$ and dielectric breakdown voltage with the UV-Visible absorbances of oil, following criteria for absorbance values determining oil condition were established, fair condition is below 0.580, need attention is 0.580-0.900 and poor condition is above 0.900. This W-Visible spectrophotometric method may be applied in aging analysis of oil and expected to replace the current visual method. It is necessary to develop cheap, light and portable UV-Visible spectrophotometer in near future for field application.

This paper studies on arrangement of load correlation coefficient for advanced load management. To accurate load correlation coefficient, we used two real factors, electrical energy(kWh) and peak load current of pole transformers, acquired by measuring instrument. Out of several correlation equations, we find that the quadratic equation is the most accurate to express peak load current and working electrical energy. If the data is located in the outside of ${\pm}3{\sigma}$ it is discarded. For load management, we rearranged load correlation coefficient considering +2${\sigma}$ at load correlation equation. Comparing conventional load correlation coefficient with rearranged one, we can get the result of error reduced and it is adjacent to the actual data. It will be used peak load forecasting from working electrical energy and we are able to prevent from the damaging of pole transformer due to overload.

This paper presents the novel voltage control method in power distribution system with distributed generators. The voltage in distribution systems is regulated by Under Load Tap Changer(ULTC) of substation and pole transformer of primary feeders. Recently, Step Voltage Regulator(SVR) is getting located at distribution feeders to regulate effectively voltage of primary feeders. But the effectiveness of SVR decreases due to independent operation between SVR and ULTC, and also the existing Line Drop Compensator(LDC) method considering the distributed generators may be not able to regulate the proper voltage in a permissible range. Thus, this paper presents a optimal voltage control algorithm of SVR by using the secondary voltage data of main transformer in substation.

Various types suspension insulators made of toughness glass or porcelain are used in the power transmission. And, Insulators are continually subject to mechanical and electrical stresses which depend on the characteristics of the line. The main factor that influence the increase in reliability of insulators. In operation is the capacity of the design to withstand the certain load over a long time, the mechanical strength of the insulators. This paper describes the results of a study on the stress analysis of suspension insulator based on the finite element analysis using NASTRAN. And, the mechanical strength was evaluated through such as kinds of pin type.

In this paper, we carried out an accelerated degradation test that is commonly used to predict characteristics life of rubber gaskets for a pole transformer. The potential failure mode applied for the test is rubber elongation and the corresponding failure mechanism is heat. From the result, we found that Weibull distribution is the fatigue life distribution in NBR and H-NBR. After estimating characteristics life in commonly used temperature, the average life span of $B_{50}$ in NBR is 7.7 years under $50^{\circ}C$ and the life span in H-NBR is 28 years.

To enhance the reliability of distribution transformers in service and to reduce the cost of maintaining and replaceing these, the condition and life of those insulating system should be evaluated accurately and the time to replace should be determined economically. Since the transformer failures related to insulation failure indicates that the primary cause is normally mechanical failure of integrity due to loss of mechanical strength as a result of degradation, the tensile strength characteristics of paper during ageing under accelerated conditions in insulating oil and research trends for assessing the life of insulating paper were investigated.
