This paper describes the overvoltage of branch line in underground distribution systems when the direct lightning surge strikes on conductor of overhead line. Distribution systems are very complex because that includes so many branch lines, transformers, switches and so on. Therefor model systems consist of overhead distribution lines, underground cable include branch lines, lightning source and switches. Those are established by EMTP/ATPDraw. Simulation analyzes surge behavior on branch lines considering various conditions in underground distribution systems. Simulation results shoe overvoltage with location in various cases.

In this paper, the unsteady two dimensional model for the thermal stratification in the pressurizer surge line of PWR plant has been proposed to numerically investigate the heat transfer and flow characteristics. The dimensionless governing equations are solved by using the Control Volume Formulation and SIMPLE (Semi-Implicit Method for Pressure Linked Equations) algorithm. The temperature profile of fluids and pipe wall with time are shown when the thermal stratification occurs in the horizontal pipe. The numerical result shows that the maximum dimensionless temperature difference is about O.514 between hot and cold section of pipe wall at dimensionless time 1,632.

This paper covers the insulation coordination of 765 KV transmission line in Korea Electric Power Corporation. The design for the lightning, switching surge, and contamination was conducted to increase the reliability of 765 KV line. The authors have used the result of a limited Westinghouse ANACOM swiching surge study of the Korea Electric Corporation's 765 KV Expansion plan. The study investigated the switching surge overvoltage distribution and maximum switching overvoltage when relosing 765 KV lines. They used the technical data of the suspension insulator for the contamination design, which was available from a foreign insulator manufacture. From this paper, the authors find out that the contamination design dominates to determine the number of insulator and the SOV design dominates the air clearance in the tower. Afterwards the authors will confirm this design by Demonstration Test with Korea Electro-technology Research Institute.

This paper present overvoltage induced on distribution power line by lightning surge. It is important problem that overvoltage threatens credit and security of the power system. In this paper induced overvoltage was calculated. From the line being modeled in really actual practice. Also, the proper suppressing effects of a surge arrester against lightning induced voltages were suggested.

Nuclear Power Plants (NPP) should be designed to have sufficient safety margins and to ensure seismic safety against earthquake that may occur during the plant life time. After the 9.12 Gyeongju earthquake accident, the structural integrity of nuclear power plants due to the beyond design basis earthquake is one of key safety issues. Accordingly, it is necessary to conduct structural integrity evaluations for domestic NPPs under beyond design basis earthquake. In this study, the Level 3 LBB (Leak Before Break) evaluation was performed by considering the beyond design basis earthquake for the surge line of a OPR1000 plant of which design basis earthquake was set to be 0.2g. The beyond design basis earthquake corresponding to peak ground acceleration 0.4g at the maximum stress point of the surge line was considered. It was confirmed that the moment behaviors of the hot leg and pressurized surge nozzle were lower than the maximum allowable loading in moment-rotation curve. It was also confirmed that the LBB margin could be secured by comparing the LBB margin through the Level 2 method. It was judged that the margin was secured by reducing the load generated through the compliance of the pipe.

This study presents a numerical procedure to optimize the compressor design to increase the surge margin of compressor with response surface method (RSM). The Box-Behnken design method is used to reduce the number of calculation for fitting the second-order response surface. In order to consider the increase of surge margin during numerical optimization without any calculation at the surge point, the slope of compressor characteristic curve at the design point is suggested as an objective function in the present optimization problem. Mean line performance analysis method is used to get the design and off-design characteristic curves of centrifugal compressor. The impeller exit angle, impeller exit height and impeller radius are chosen as design variables. The optimum shapes show the increase of surge margin for the surge margin optimization and increase of efficiency for the efficiency optimization in comparison with an initial shape.

Surge phenomena in the zone of reduced speeds in a system of a nine-stage axial flow compressor coupled with ducts were studied analytically by use of a surge transient simulation code. Main results are as follows. (1) Expansion of apparently stable, non-surge working area of the pressure vs. flow field beyond the initial stage-stall line was predicted by the code in the lower speed region. The area proved analytically to be caused by significantly mismatched stage-working conditions, particularly with the front stages deep in the rotating stall branch of the characteristics, as was already known in situ and in steady-state calculations also. (2) Surge frequencies were found to increase for decreasing compressor speeds as far as the particular compressor system was concerned. (3) The tendency was found to be explained by a newly introduced volume-modified reduced surge frequency. It suggests that the surge frequency is related intimately with the process of emptying and filling of air into the delivery volume. (4) The upstream range of movement of the fluid mass having once passed through the compressor in surge was found to reduce toward the lower speeds, which could have caused additionally the increase in surge frequency. (5) The concept of the volume-modified reduced surge frequency was able to explain, though qualitatively at present, the behaviors of the area-pressure ratio parameter for the stall stagnation boundary proposed earlier by the author.

Extension of the mobile communication and the rapidly developing services connected with wireless multimedia(W-CDMA, DMB, Wibro, and so on) need great many base station transceiver systems, antennas, and many signal transmission line to embody these services. The min communication appliances system is exposed always in danger of transient overvoltage by direct stroke or induced lightning surge flowing in through antenna because the antenna of base station transceiver system or relay equipment is combined with expensive communication network equipments through signal transmission line. Now, gas discharge tube(GDT) or narrow band stub arrestor which is used by the surge protector for communication use is exposing limitations as for lightning surge protective means of the communication facility with high speed and wide frequency band. Therefore, for improving performance of surge arrestor, we applied ceramic filter which can reduce lightning surge invading from antenna effectively, and proved that ceramic filter is effective in residual voltage reduction through the experimental research.

ZnO varistor for transmission class arrester$({\Phi}65{\times}20mm)$ of 10kA(Class 3) grade was recently developed in korea and is tested for the properties by switching surge operating duty test to know the line discharge class and complex surge property in electric properties. To find out changing rate of residual voltage before and after lightning impulse residual voltage testing, the sample is cool to room temperature after finishing switching surge operating duty test, and the rate is good as 1.0~1.7%. The element had been considered as applicable ZnO varistor for electricity transmission from the test results of state conterl, switching surge operating duty, thermal stability and above test. But various test should be required for actual application because this is a part of the to be needed for application.
