The insulator being used for transmission line is to mount the charged conductor on the tower or other supports. The insulators are classified according to its material: porcelain, glass and polymer. Polymer insulators are also called as composite insulator or non ceramic insulator (NCI). Insulators are a major element of a power transmission system. Since a faulty insulator can lead to a wide spreading blackout, it must have sufficient mechanical and electrical strength. It must be durable, have high electrical insulation and be able to withstand a leakage current. It must also be able to withstand the toughest weather conditions. In Korea, porcelain insulators have been used widely. However, to make compact equipment and keep up with global trends, we have enhanced domestic production of polymer insulator and are encouraging its applications. Accordingly, this thesis will look at types of insulators, use and trends, and prospects of insulators application in the field.

범용적으로 사용되고 있는 수평형 풍력 터빈(HAWT)은 블레이드가 장착된 터빈이 회전부인 너셀에 고정되어 타워의 최상단에 지지되는 구조이다. 터빈에서 생산되는 전력은 너셀 내부에서 증속기를 통하여 발전기로 들어가게 된다. 발전기에서 생산되는 전력은 타워를 통해서 지상과 송전선으로 연결되므로 너셀의 요잉이 발생하는 경우 송전선의 꼬임이 발생하게 된다. 따라서 이를 방지하기 위한 슬립링이나 추가적인 요잉 제어 알고리즘이 필요한 단점이 있다. 제안하는 새로운 구조의 HAWT는 베벨기어와 중공축을 이용하여 송전선 문제를 해결하였다. 또한, 병렬로 접속된 두개의 발전기를 이용하여 요잉이 용이할 뿐 아니라 생산 전력을 분산시킴으로써 인버터의 용량을 줄일 수 있다. MPPT 알고리즘과 요잉 제어를 수행하는 시뮬레이션을 통해서 제안하는 구조가 풍력 발전에 효과적임을 보였다.

A long-term structural health monitoring (SHM) system comprising over 700 sensors of sixteen types has been implemented on the Guangzhou Television and Sightseeing Tower (GTST) of 610 m high for real-time monitoring of the structure at both construction and service stages. As part of this sophisticated SHM system, 48 temperature sensors have been deployed at 12 cross-sections of the reinforced concrete inner structure of the GTST to provide on-line monitoring via a wireless data transmission system. In this paper, the differential temperature profiles in the reinforced concrete inner structure of the GTST, which are mainly caused by solar radiation, are recognized from the monitoring data with the purpose of understanding the temperature-induced structural internal forces and deformations. After a careful examination of the pre-classified temperature measurement data obtained under sunny days and non-sunny days, common characteristic of the daily temperature variation is observed from the data acquired in sunny days. Making use of 60-day temperature measurement data obtained in sunny days, statistical patterns of the daily rising temperature and daily descending temperature are synthesized, and temperature distribution models of the reinforced concrete inner structure of the GTST are formulated using linear regression analysis. The developed monitoring-based temperature distribution models will serve as a reliable input for numerical prediction of the temperature-induced deformations and provide a robust basis to facilitate the design and construction of similar structures in consideration of thermal effects.
