Abstract--In recent years with the expansion of the power system and competing the electrical energy market, cause is to optimum designing power system and optimizing power system maintenance methods with decreasing unnecessary cost without affecting overall power system reliability.Combined transmission line is one of the factors that affect on power system reliability indices, because cable lines are manufactured with high voltage insulations, while high voltage insulations are known as weak points in the power system in view of reliability. Therefore, many efforts have been done for increasing high voltage reliability insulation, e.g. improving insulation endurance and optimizing insulation system design [5].Reliability analysis of the power system that contains combined line is very important because most faults on transmission lines are transient and these faults do not cause that overhead line be permanently out of service. Transient faults are typically caused by lightning activity, and they have a very short duration. Transient faults automatically clear by auto-reclose operation of the line circuit breakers. Automatic clearing operation time takes less than a second and clearing operation does not require human intervention. Whereas autoreclose operation can not clear cable insulation faults and also cable insulation does not restore like air insulated transmission line. Therefore, cable fault always causes that cable line completely be out of service [6]. Repairing damaged cable line takes several days or even some weeks [7].The cable failure rate depends on several factors, such as voltage stress, age of cable line, insulation defects and design of cable [8]. Therefore, one of the factors that affect the combined transmission line reliability is age of cable, because of cable line failure rate increases by increasing cable line age [9].In this paper, variations of the maximum overvoltage amount and location are analyzed by changing cable line length and number of spans before a cable line in the power system with a combined transmission line. Also, reliability analysis is performed for combined transmission line which the cable line is protected by surge arresters at both ends.
