To reduce inference of any power delivery failures in underground power cable, power system operators are trying to find effective way of finding fault location as soon as possible. But it is very difficult to find fault location exactly for underground power cable. We are developing fault location system for underground power cable which can detect its fault location exactly. This new system monitors current and voltage of underground power cable by using low voltage and current sensors and if there are any accidents, it records its transient signal. Fault location is calculated by analyzing recorded signal. To develop fault location system for power cable, we needed fault simulation system and we installed it physically and tested. In this rapers, we describe on describe of fault location system for underground power cable.

Nowadays, 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 cable has the several useful characteristics such as increased power density, stronger magnetic fields and/or reduced losses. 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 investigate the status of korean power system and underground transmission system. Based on this, the feasibility study on applying HTS cable to korean power system is carried out and then we propose the new power system configuration of metropolitan area with HTS cable. Finally, we can get a conclusion that applying HTS cable to 154kV underground transmission line in metropolitan area such as seoul is very available. In addition, detail applicable cases are investigated; a)replace old conventional cable with HTS cable; b) apply HTS cable to constructing new underground transmission line; c)use HTS cable to resolve overload problem in conventional power system configuration.

Since power system is switching to smart grid, on-line monitoring technology has become necessary for underground distribution power cable. Therefore, the application of DTS(Distributed Temperature Sensing) technology using OFCPC(Optical Fiber Composite Power Cable) capable of monitoring underground distribution power cables has been developed. These can bring about reductions in faults and increases in operating capacity of underground distribution system. To date, the test-bed of optical fiber composite power cable on-line monitoring system has been constructed. Then, matters to be improved have been drawn through verification experiments. This paper presents the improvement and experiment results of the optical fiber composite power cable on-line monitoring system to apply to underground distribution lines in the field.

With rapid growth of industry, underground power delivery systems are growing so rapidly and its capacity also growing. So if there are any accident in underground power cable, its inference is too great to count. So power system operators should find Its fault location as soon as possible and replace it But it is difficult to find its fault location for underground power cable. We are developing fault location system for underground power cable which can detect its fault location exactly. This system usually monitor underground power cable on-line But if there are an accident, it record Its transient signal and we can calculate fault location by analyzing it. To develop fault location system for power cable, we needed fault simulation system and we installed it physically and tested at various point. in this thesis, we describe on signal processing technology to detect fault location on power cable and on the result of tested fault location performance.

This paper describes the protective ability of lightning arrestor in combined distribution system with power cable. To evaluate the protective ability, change of arrestor and grounding location are considered. On the other hand, arrestor developed by Cooper Power Systems for underground power cable system, is considered to evaluate surge protective ability as in underground system, when arrestor occurs failure has overhead line. The result shows that lightning arrestor in combined distribution system with power cable protect effectively when failure at arrestor in overhead line. On the other hand, arrestor developed by Cooper Power Systems for underground power cable system, is considered to evaluate surge protective ability in underground distribution system, when arrestor of overhead line has failure. The result shows that lightning arrestor installed in underground cable can effectively protected cables from surge when arrestor of overhead line has failure. And also even though grounding locations are decreased, it is revealed that protective ability is nearly similar.

This paper analyses the transient phenomena against single line to ground fault and lightning surge on underground power cable systems. For analysis in various fault conditions, several actual underground power cable systems are modeled using ATP In ground fault, the transient characteristic of the conductor and the sheath according to the fault current and the installation types of CCPU are analysed. In lightning surge strokes, the various unbalanced conditions including the length of crossbonded lead, the breakdown of CCPU and distance unbalance are considered. This paper is expected to contribute the establishment of proper protection methods against transients on underground power cable systems.
