As transmission systems has been complicated and various, cases of transmission systems which is made up with underground cable line only or overhead transmission line with underground cable line have been increased. When transmission lines with different types of cable, it is more likely to be vulnerable to the surges. This paper analyzed these surge in 154kV transmission line by means of EMTP (Electro Magnetic Transient program).

The underground transmission lines is continuously expanded in power systems. Therefore the fault of underground transmission lines are increased every year because of the complication of systems. However the studies dealing with fault location in the case of the underground transmission lines are rarely reported except for few papers using traveling wave method and calculating underground cable impedance. This paper describes the algorithm using fuzzy system and travelling wave method in the underground transmission line. Fuzzy inference is used for fault discrimination. To organize fuzzy algorithm, it is important to select target data reflecting various underground transmission line transient states. These data are made of voltage and average of RMS value on zero sequence current within one cycle after fault occurrence. Travelling wave based on wavelet transform is used for fault location. In this paper, a variety of underground transmission line transient states are simulated by EMTP/ATPDraw and Matlab. The input which is used to fault location algorithm are Detail 1(D1) coefficients of differential current. D1 coefficients are obtained by wavelet transform. As a result of applying the fuzzy inference and travelling wave based on wavelet transform, fault discrimination is correctly distinguished within 1/2 cycle after fault occurrence and fault location is comparatively correct.

This paper describes a fault location technique using wavelets in underground transmission cable system Estimation of fault location is performed using data sampled at two ends of 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 travel 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 to location in real underground transmission line.

This paper discusses the effects of ECC (Earth Continuity Conductor) for reducing the level of induced sheath overvoltages at the single point bonded section of combined transmission lines which are mixed underground power cable with overhead line in one T/L. In previous papers, the characteristics of ECC on only underground power cable systems were sufficiently analyzed. However, the result of only underground power cable systems are totally different from that of combined transmission lines because ECC is commonly grounded with overhead grounding wire at mesh of cable head. Therefore, in this paper, the installation effects of ECC have been variously analyzed considering the three kinds of fault positions, cable formation of duct and trefoil, spacing between phase conductor and ECC, and the change of overhead transmission line section length on 154kV combined transmission line. Finally, simulation results show that ECC can effectively reduce the induced sheath voltage.

In the analysis of lightning surges, transmission towers are usually simulated by ATPDraw. The modeling of transmission towers is an essential part of the traveling wave analysis of lightning surges in transmission lines. The tower model is applied to the 154kV transmission tower of which surge performance characteristics are measured Tower surge response is computed using nonuniform, single-phase line models for both transmission tower and ground wire. The overvoltage will effect to the underground transmission line. The underground cable is combined by duct and trefoil type, and the each arrester is placed on the leading-in tube and outgoing tube. This paper analyzed the effect of lightning overvoltage on the underground cable system.

Electrical energy is playing an increasingly vital role as the primary energy source in everyday life. With the increase in electric power consumption, power facilities are under an increasing stress and must operate at a high capacity. Consequently, the demand for electric power cables in power transmission and distribution lines is rapidly increasing. Underground distribution lines have been steadily replacing the aboveground lines owing to the increase in electric power demand and the need to increase the supply voltage. In addition to line damage, worker safety is of primary concern in this type of underground infrastructure. In this study, to improve the safety of workers dealing with underground transmission lines, we analyzed the electromagnetic field generated around the distribution line and determined the basic criteria for developing a device that can detect a live underground line.

The first 150lkV underground transmission line of Korea was installed between Danginri and Yongsan substation in 1974. Since then, the underground transmission lines of about 720 circuit-km had been installed up to 1995. As the national economy has been enlarged and the population of city has been rapidly increased, the demand of an electric power has been very increased. Therefore the first 345kV long-length transmission line of Korea was installed between Mikyum and Sungdong substation on Jan., 1997. This paper describes the design of the 345kV oil-filled cable and its accessories, the design of the system, the methods of installation, field tests, and the future trends of the underground transmission line in Korea.

The goal of this study is the size and distribution of the electromagnetic force generated by the current flowing through the second underground line of 154kV power transmission cables by using electromagnetic finite element analysis. So we interpret how mutually electromagnetic force has an effect on the comparable judgement of Trefoil, Duct and Flat, which shows in a numerical arrangement. 154kV OF 1200SQ Cable 1.281km not only is applicable to modeling for underground transmission cable but also examine the effect of line to line, phase to phase and size and direction of the electromagnetic force preparing for the occurrence of normal state and single-phase earth fault, which are arranged in trefoil, duct and flat formation between sections. As showing how the trajectory, and size distribution of the electromagnetic force translate as the arrangement of the cables when a steady-state current and a fault current flows on the underground cables, I hope that when Underground transmission is designed, this data will be useful information.

Nowadays, it is becoming difficult to secure a transmission line route when a new transmission line is constructed due to social environment and resident complaints. As existing urban areas are expanded and new cities are constructed, the necessity of high-capacity underground power transmission has been increasing because of load concentration in downtown areas. In North America, Europe and Japan, the research has been carried out for 2nd generation gas insulated transmission lines(GIL) which is more environmentally friendly and economical compared to previous GILs. The new GILs have been applied to real power systems from early 2000s. In South Korea, GIL is being considered as a possible solution for replacing 345kV high-capacity overhead transmission lines with underground transmission ones, so KEPCO is planning to develop and apply a new 362kV rated GIL underground transmission lines instead of overhead transmission lines. In this paper, the overvoltage generated at the combined transmission line adapting GIL was reviewed using EMTP.
