Abstract

With progress in industrialization, facilities for generating, delivering, and receiving high levels of electric power are in great demand. The scale of electric power equipment is increasing in both size and complexity. This has contributed to the development of our modern, high-tech and information-based society. However, if the generation of electric power is suspended due to unexpected accidents at power facilities or power stations, a range of equipment the operations of which are dependent on electric power can be damaged, causing substantial socioeconomic losses in an industrial society. A great deal of time and money would be expended to repair damaged facilities at a power station, causing enormous economic loss.In order to detect the deterioration processes of power cables, and to prevent the destruction of power cables, the operation status of power cables should be monitored on a regular basis. We have installed equipment at Korea Western Power Co., Ltd., located in Taean, in order to predict and prevent the destruction of power cables. This is an entirely new installation: a set of equipment invented specifically to measure the insulation resistance of power cables. Installation of the equipment does not cause the flow of earth fault current. This ensures accurate measurement of insulation resistance values by the equipment. We have been studying this equipment in order to develop preventive technology that would show the deterioration processes of power cables.

산업화의 추세에 따라 수요가 급증하고 있는 고전력을 생산하기 위하여 시설장비 및 부하의 대용량화가 수반되고 있다. 전기설비의 규모는 점차 복잡해 지고, 대규모화 됨으로써 고도 정보화 사회로의 발전에 크게 기여하고 있다. 그러나, 발전 설비에서 불의의 사고가 발생하여 전기의 생산이 중단된다면, 전기에 의존하여 작동 중인 수 많은 장비가 지장을 받게 되고, 산업사회에 막대한 경제적 손실 및 장애를 초래하게 된다. 사고가 발생한 발전설비를 복구하기 위해서는 많은 시간과 비용이 소요되어 국가 산업 활동에 막대한 경제적 피해를 끼치게 된다. 사고를 미연에 방지하기 위하여 케이블의 동작 상태를 정기적으로 감시 확인하여야 하며, 우리는 절연 저항를 측정하기 위한 장비를 개발하여 (주)서부발전의 현장에 설치하여 운용 중인 바, 장비의 설치로 인한 지락 전류의 변동이 없으므로, 정확한 측정 결과를 확인할 수가 있었다. 이를 체계적 응용하여 열화 상태를 구체화하여 구현할 수 있는 사전 예방감시 기술을 연구 중에 있다.
