This paper describes a fault location technique using wavelets in underground transmission power cable system. Estimation of fault location is performed using data smapled at two ends underground system. In the case of 50% fault of total underground transmission line, fault location is calculated using sampled single-end data in underground transmission line. Traveling wave is utilized in capturing the travel time of the transients along the monitored lines between the relay and the fault point. This traveling time information is provided by the wavelet. Simulation was performed using EMTP, ATP Draw and MATLAB. The results of fault location shown in this paper will be evaluated as an effective suggestion for fault location in real underground transmission line.

The surge protector is crucial power apparatus to guarantee the safe operation of power transmission of underground cable which can effectively restrain the overvoltage and inductive lightning stroke in power system. This paper describes the results of a study on the performance of ZnO varistors and surge protector for 154 kV underground cable. And, the influence of water tight and insulating performance was evaluated through such as surge protector of the armored design.

This paper describes the characteristics analysis of power-optical fiber composite cable on underground transmission lines. The effects on grounding, air gap and contact resistance are variously analysed using EMTP in normal operating condition. From these results, in this paper, the scheme for protecting the electrically abnormal phenomena will be established on power-optical fiber composite cable of underground transmission lines.

This paper describes the protection of insulation joint box in combined transmission line which is connected with the 154kV underground power cables. An actual power cable system was selected to establish modeling and to analyze. Modeling was established in EMTP and ATPDraw. Simulation was carried out according to the buried method of cable and connection method of CCPU. Results presented in this paper will be applied to another power cable systems.

As power demand increases gradually, the call for underground transmission system increases. But it is very difficult and high in cost to construct new ducts and/or tunnels for power cables in metropolitan areas. HTS (High Temperature Superconducting) cable has the several useful characteristics such as increased power density. Therefore HTS cable can allow more power to be moved in existing ducts, which means very large economical and environmental benefits. In this paper, we carried out investigation for Application of 22kV class HTS cable in Korean utility networks. The results show that the HTS cable is applicable to replace IPB in pumping-up power plant, withdrawal line in distributed generation, withdrawal line in complex power plant, and conventional under ground cable. Finally, as the cost of HTS wire and refrigeration drops, the technical and economical potential of HTS cable is evaluated positively.

In reccent years the large capacity underground power transmission systems have been required gradually with the increasing demand of electric power, the increasing electric power system and the environmental limitations of an overhead transmission line in the city. But it is difficult to get the space for the underground power transmission lines because of complicated distributions of underground public facilities. But as the superconducting power cables have the large power transmission capacity, the high power transmission density, and low loss characteristics in comparison with a conventional cable, the necessity for their development are increasing. In this paper, the results of the conceptual design of HTS power cable is described.

In this work, we have developed the off-line diagnostic system for power cable insulation using DC voltage decay method to diagnose the insulation degradation of underground power cables. Measurement errors of diagnostic system are less than 1% for $1T{\Omega}$ internal resistor. We have also developed measurement and diagnostic programs for win95 which is suitable for the database construction and the management of data. We could conclude that it is possible to apply this system to the multi-grounded underground cable systems.

This paper analyzes the switching overvoltage occurred on 345kV underground power cable system as well as combined transmission system using EMTP. Cable length and closing time, preinsertion resistance have effect on switching overvoltage. Therefore, this paper analyzes the switching overvoltage occurred on conductor and sheath with change of those parameters. Specially, the cross bonding position becomes discontinuity point because of the difference between surge impedance of metal sheath and that of lead cable. Thus, the transmission and the reflection of traveling wave complexly occur at this connection point. According to these influences, voltage between sheath and earth as well as voltage between joint boxes rise. Time to crest point of switching overvoltage is longer than lightning overvoltage. Even though the voltage induced by switching surge is smaller than lightning surge, that voltage may have serious effect on the metal sheath. Therefore, this paper also analyses the reduction effect of switching overvoltage when the preinsertion resistance of circuit breaker is considered.

In this paper it was written about the safety management plan for underground power transmission cable, and it guarantees the reliable electric power supply and facility management to prevent an electric disasters according to that. Recently fires which happens on OF Cable lead to a breakdown of power system and cause a power outage of wide area and serious social problems. So it needs an improvement of inspection ability on OF cable as well as a strict inspection system to prevent that problems in advance and it will bring us the development of electric safety management and the reliable electric power supply.

In this paper, new simulator based on EMTP was introduced for simulation of underground power cable system. The newly developed simulator was named as Power Cable Simulator(PCS), and it can simulate the various normal conditions including sheath circulating current. It is also easier to use than conventional software, such as EMTP and CabSim, because all the data for calculating the cable parameters are stored in a database(DB) within a PCS. In addition, the accuracy of PCS is also proved through the comparison between the calculation and simulation of sheath current.
