Abstract
This paper described the medium voltage high temperature superconducting cable thermal simulation and its application. New simulation method for HTS cable modeling using PSCAD/EMTDC is introduced in this paper. The developed simulation method consists of electrical model part and thermal model part. In electrical model part, power loss and thermal capacitance can be calculated in each layer, then the temperature of each layer can be calculated by power loss and thermal capacitance in thermal model part. This paper also analyzes the electrical and thermal characteristic in the case of normal operating condition and transient including single line to ground fault and line to line ground fault using new simulation method.
