In this paper, neural networks is studied to apply as a PD source classification in XLPE power cable specimen. Two learning schemes are used to classification; BP(Back propagation algorithm), SOM(self organized map - kohonen network). As a PD source, using treeing discharge sources in the specimen, three defected models are made. And these data making use of a computer-aided discharge analyser, statistical and other discharge parameters is calculated to discrimination between different models of discharge sources. And a]so these distribution characteristics are applied to classify PD sources by two scheme of the neural networks. In conclusion, recognition efficiency of BP is superior to SOM.

XLPE 절연 전력케이블의 제조과정에서 발생하는 가교부산물을 제거할 목적으로 14주기노화를 실시한다. 이 과정에서 가교부산물이 제거되는 효과도 있지만 열에 의한 구조적 결함도 생기게 되며, 이들 모두가 뇌충격파괴전압에 영향을 준다. 22.9kV 트리억제형(TR CNCV-W) 케이블에 대하여 14주기노화 전과 후의 파괴전압을 분석하였으며, 전반적으로 노화과정이 파괴전압을 감소시키는 결과를 보였으나 60 $mm^2$ 케이블은 상승효과와 감소효과가 비슷하게 작용하는 것으로 나타났다.

우리는 기존의 현장몰드방식의 TMJ(Tape Molded Joint)와 부품조립방식 의 PJ(Prefabricated Joint) 보다 조립시간과 숙련도가 덜 필요한 고무몰드접속함을 탄성 및 우수한 절연특성을 가진 silicone 고무를 사용하여 조립공정과 절연특성, 탄성특성, 계면특성, 열적 특성 등을 연구하여 개발에 성공하였다. 고무 몰드 접속함은 실리콘 재료의 우수한 탄성에 의해 동일 케이블의 다양한 size에 적용이 가능하다.

In this paper, each specimen blended at weight proportions of 80% HDPE to 20% EVA, 70% HDPE to 30% EVA, 60% HDPE to 40% EVA, and 50% HDPE to 50% EVA was manufactured respectively. The insulation performances of the proposed insulator were compared with conventional XLPE, main insulating material of CV cable on the basis of the investigation results of DC insulation performances. From the space charge density, electric field and potential profiles with raising DC voltage and time variation in HE82, distortion of electric field distribution was improved. As EVA mixed into the bulks acts as nucleation in crystallization process of HDPE, the size of spherulites became decreased and finally formed continuous network structure. Ultimately, it resulted from extinction of space charge in the interfacial region of spherulites.

Continuous, high-quality supply of electrical energy is the backbone of any modern economy. Any equipment operating at a power station must be reliable and safe. All major power supply components such as transformers, cables, generators, and switchgear need to be kept in perfect operating condition. The lifetime of power cables, used as the main means of transferring electric power, is understood to be about 30 years, from the time of manufacturing. The dielectrics between two conductors of a cable must be able to withstand electrical stresses from high-voltage input. This condition should be verified throughout the lifetime of the cable system. Several techniques, such as VLF-tan${\delta}$, partial discharge, and insulation resistance are used in order to determine the operating conditions of cables. In this paper, we present our work on insulation resistance to diagnose cables in operation at the Western Power station in Taean, Chungcheong Namdo Province, South Korea. As a result we have found cables the life time of which is 38 years.

To improve mean-life and reliability of power cable, we have investigated volume resistivity and thermal conductivity showed by changing the content of acetylene black which is the component parts of semiconductive shield in underground power transmission cable. The sheets were primarily kneaded in their pellet form material samples for 5 minutes on rollers ranging between 70[$^{\circ}C$] and 100[$^{\circ}C$]. Then they were produced as sheets after pressing for 20 minutes at 180[$^{\circ}C$] with a pressure of 200[kg/cm]. The content of conductive acetylene black was the variable, and their contents were 20, 30 and 40[wt%], respectively. Volume resistivity of specimens was measured by volume resistivity meter after 10 minutes in the preheated oven of both $25\pm1[^{\circ}C]$ and $90\pm1[^{\circ}C]$. Thermal conductivity was measured by Nano Flash Diffusivity. The measurement temperatures of thermal conductivity using Nano Flash Diffusivity were both 25[$^{\circ}C$] and 55[$^{\circ}C$]. From these experimental results, volume resistivity was high according to an increase of the content of acetylene black. And thermal conductivity was increased to an increase of the content of acetylene black. And thermal conductivity were increased by heating rate because volume of materials was expanded according to rise in temperature.

For high voltage XLPE power cables, semiconducting layers have been applied to prevent discharge at the interface between conductor and insulation, and/or insulation and external shielding layer. The semiconducting layers may be also effective to release electrical stress in the interface. The property of semiconducting layers are significantly related to the quality and reliability of power cables. Generally, these semiconducting layers are formed by extruding, the conductibility of the material is given by the carbon black mixed with base polymer. The life of power cables is depended on the smoothness of the interface between insulation and semiconducting layer. If the smoothness is no good, the life of power cables is shorter because the electrical stress and water tree is increased. The causes of no good smoothness are the void of the interface, the protrusions, the contaminants and impurities of the semiconducting layer. The selection and dispersion of the Carbon Black is the significant factor to determine the life of power cable in the manufacturing of semiconducting compound.

In this study, we tried to investigate that the advantages of SOM(Self Organizing Map) algorithm such as data accumulation ability and the degradation trend trace ability would be adaptable to the analysis of partial discharge pattern recognition. For the purpose, we analyzed partial discharge data obtained from the typical artificial defects in GIS and XLPE power cable system through SOM algorithm. As a result, partial discharge pattern recognition could be well carried out with an acceptable error by use of Kohonen map in SOM algorithm. Also, it was clarified that the additional data could be accumulated during the operation of the algorithm. Especially, we found out that the data accumulation ability of Kohonen map could make it possible to suggest new patterns, which is impossible through the conventional BP(Back Propagation) algorithm. In addition, it is confirmed that the degradation trend could be easily traced in accordance with the degradation process. Therefore, it is expected to improve on-site applicability and to trace real-time degradation trends using SOM algorithm in the partial discharge pattern recognition

국내의 지중케이블 시스템은 1970년대 154kV급 OF케이블이 도입된 이래로 현재까지 345kV급 OF/XLPE 케이블을 이용한 지중송전선로가 운영 중에 있으며, 도심지역의 전력공급을 위해 지중송전선로의 건설비중이 점차 증가하고 있다. 그러나 지중송전 계통에서 고장발생시 사회적 파장이 크고 가공송전선로에 비교할 때 복구에 대단히 많은 시간과 비용이 소요되므로 설비의 안전운전 및 장기신뢰성의 확보가 반드시 필요하다. 따라서 지중송전계통의 현장 조건을 고려한 실증시험장 구축의 필요성이 대두되어, 한국전력공사에서 정부의 인프라구축 지원사업으로 초고압 지중케이블에 대한 국제품질 공신력 확보 및 최적운영기술을 확보하기 위하여 장기 신뢰성 시험이 가능한 설비와 국제적 규모의 실증시험장을 구축하였다. 아울러 2011년 3월에는 ISO/IEC 17025에 따른 국제공인시험기관 자격을 취득하여, 국내외에서 제작되는 초고압 케이블에 대한 국제 공인시험이 가능하게 되었다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 한국전력공사 고창전력시험센터 내에 구축된 지중케이블 시험장 및 장기신뢰성 시험설비에 대한 소개와 더불어 국제표준에 따른 공인시험방안과 현재까지 지중케이블 시험장에서 수행된 케이블 시험에 대하여 소개하고자 한다.

가교폴리에틸렌(XLPE) 절연체를 적용한 MV급 지중케이블은 1972년부터 KEPCO에서 본격적으로 사용되기 시작하였다. 이후 도심지 지중화사업에 힘입어 매년 6.5%정도의 케이블 설비가 증가하였으며 오늘날 29,000C-km이상의 MV급 케이블이 설치되어 있다. 과거 비약적인 경제성장과 더불어 전력망 확충을 위한 투자가 KEPCO의 주된 역할이었다면 오늘날에 있어서는 확충된 설비를 최적의 상태로 유지 관리하는 것으로 패러다임이 변하고 있다. 특히 지중설비의 동맥(動脈)으로 볼 수 있는 케이블에 대한 관리방법이 화두가 되고 있으며 최적관리의 전제조건인 열화진단 분야가 KEPCO가 이끌고 나가야 할 새로운 개척분야로써 많은 역량이 집중되고 있다. 2010년에는 VLF TD/PD를 새로운 진단기법으로 적용하였으며 케이블 설치공사 준공 검수시험으로 0.1Hz 저주파 교류내전압시험 도입 및 활선 PD진단장치를 자체 개발하여 현장 적용성 검토를 추진하는 등 MV급 지중설비의 관리기법에 있어 큰 전환점을 만들고 있다. 본 고에서는 KEPCO의 MV급 케이블 변천사와 추진하고 있는 진단기법 및 관리 지향점을 논하고자 한다.
