In this paper, power flow characteristics of a hydromechanical transmission(HMT) are investigated using network analysis. The HMT used in this study consist of a hydrostatic unit(HSU), planetary gear sets, clutches and brakes providing forward 4 speeds and backward 2 speeds. Since the HMT power flows showing a closed loop and the HSU efficiency varies depending on the pressure and speed, a systematic approach is required to analyze the power transmission characteristics of the HMT. In order to analyze the closed loop power flow and the HSU power loss which changes depending on the pressure and speed, network model is constructed fur each speed range. In addition, an algorithm is proposed to calculate an accurate HSU loss corresponding to the experimental results. It is found from the network analysis that the torque and speed of each transmission element including the HSU can be obtained as well as direction of the power flow by the proposed algorithm. It is expected that the network analysis can be used in the design of relatively complicated transmission system such as HMT.

In recent years, there is a growing needs for large capacity underground power transmission lines with the increasing demand of electric power in the urban area, where various environmental limitations are imposed on the overhead transmission lines. But it is difficult to get the space for the underground power transmission cables because of complicated distributions of underground public facilties such as subway, water pipes, gas etc. As the superconducting power cables have the large power transmission capacity, the high power transmission capacity, the high power transmission density, and low loss characteristics in comparison with a conventional cable, it would be a solution to meet the increased power demand. In this paper, the results of the conceptual design and analysis of power system of HTS power transmission cable is described.

In order to facilitate the supply of gradually increasing power demand, it is also necessary to increase the number of power cables for power transmission as well as generation facilities. However, the expansion of electric power cables for supplying power to most urban areas requires a space for installation of additional cables, and the space for installing cables in domestic downtown areas is insufficient at present. The superconducting power cable, which can transmit more power with the same size, has emerged as an alternative to overcome the insufficient cable installation space. However, superconducting power cables, which have the advantage of large power transmission, have some losses in the AC (Alternating Current) system. Therefore, the design and analysis of AC losses are essential to introduce superconducting power cables in AC power transmission systems. In this paper, we analyze the AC loss of various superconducting power cables and consider the actual superconducting power cables and their application to the system. Although there is a theoretical calculation method of AC loss for single superconducting wire, it is not easy to calculate AC loss of superconducting power cable with large number. Therefore, the authors intend to analyze various kinds of superconducting power cable AC loss by using electromagnetic finite element analysis considering E-J (Electric field-Current density) characteristics of superconductivity. The analysis of the AC loss characteristics of the superconducting power cable will be an important factor in the design and development of the superconducting power cable to be applied to the actual system.

Superconducting transmission cable is one of interesting part in power application using high temperature super-conducting wire as transformance. One important parameter in HTS cable design is transport current distribution because it is related with current transmission capacity and loss. In this paper, we present the calculation theory of current distribution for multi-layer cable using the electric circuit model and in example, calculation results of current distribution and AC loss in each layer of 4-layer HTS transmission cable.

The transmission networks are not perfect conductors and a percentage of the power generated is therefore lost before it reaches the loads. This network loss contributes to the cost of suppling power to consumers, and must be considered if the most efficient dispatch and location of generators and loads is to be achieved. In this paper, we propose an approximate calculation of marginal loss factors to analyze characteristics of regional transmission loss. These static marginal loss factors are approximately calculated based on the KEPCO's expected summer peak load data of year 2000.

Economics of available alternatives in the transmission planning are evaluated by the investment cost, loss cost and congestion cost. Congestion/loss cost is calculated in many years and many load levels by unit commitment of generators, optimal dispatch, load flow, judgement about transmission congestion and re-dispatch to reduce the congestion. The greatest difficulties to introduce variable optimization techniques on the transmission planning is the convergence of load flow. In this paper, economics in the transmission planning are evaluated using DC load flow, and case study is conducted on the Korea power system by proposed congestion/loss calculation methods.

In this study, we performed long lange power transmission expansion planning for conceptual design of HTS power cable in Seoul area. Since the HTS power cable has the high power transmission density and low loss characteristics in comparison with conventional power cables, the HTS power cable is introduced between the downtown and the suburbs in the future system in order to verify the feasibility of the HTS power transmission cables technically and to encourage the research activity in the area.

In this paper. the power flow analysis(PFA) method is applied to the prediction of the vibrational energy density and intensity of coupled co-planar plates. To cover the energy transmission and reflection at the joint of the plates. the wave transmission approach is Introduced with the assumption that all the incident waves are normal to the joint. By changing the frequency ranges and internal loss factors. we have obtained the reliable PFA results. and compared them with the analytical exact solutions.

The paper proposes a simple method to calculate the portion of real power losses allocated to individual loads. The method is implemented by loss distribution factors, and analyses the share of loads in transmission line losses. Effectiveness of the algorithm is verified by a computer simulation. The results can be used to compute the cost of ancillary services under deregulated environment in electric power industries.
