The maximun short circuit current of modern power system is becoming so large that circuit breaker is not expected to be able to shut down the current in the future In order cut over-currents, a system composed of a superconducting fault current limiter(SFCL) and traditional breaker seems to provide a promising solution for furture power operation. In present paper, three line-to-ground fault is assumed to happen at the center of 345kV transmission lines in a large capacity electric power system. The superconducting fault current limiter was represented using a commutation type, which consists of a non-inductive superconducting coil and current limiting element (resistor or reactor). from the viewpoint of current limiting performance, the prevention of the voltage drop at the load bus and comparision characteristics for two type SFCL. Desired design specification and operation parameters of SECL were also given qualitatively by the performance.

전 세계적으로 대규모 정전사태가 발생하고, 국내 전력계통의 경우에도 전력수요가 폭발적으로 증가하여 단락, 지락, 낙뢰 등의 전력사고(고장) 발생 시 기존 차단기의 용량으로는 차단할 수 없는 대형 사고가 발생하고 있다. 이렇게 대규모의 정전 사태의 원인은 병렬 network이다. 우리나라 역시 전기공급을 병렬 network로 운전하고 있어 대규모 정전 사태에 직면할 가능성이 있다.(중략)

국내의 전력수요는 지속적으로 성장 하고 있으며, 더불어 전력산업도 대용량화, 고밀도화하고 있고 전력계통의 규모가 커짐에 따라 고장전류도 증가하고 있기 때문에 이로 인한 사회적 경제적 파급도 점차 증대되고 있다. 또한 최근에는 친환경 및 고신뢰도의 전력계통을 갖추도록 사회적 요구가 증가하고 있다. 이에 정부와 한국전력공사는 친환경적인 초전도 케이블과 초전도 한류기라는 신기술을 전력계통에 적용하여 운전함으로써 녹색기술의 사회적 요구에 부응하고, 미래 전력산업을 선도하고자, 국내최초로 초전도 전력기기 실계통 적용을 위하여 이천 변전소 초전도 시범사업을 정부지원으로 한국전력이 주관하고 제작업체가 참여하는 방법으로 추진하고 있다. 성공적인 초전도 전력기기의 실계통 적용을 위해서는 초전도 전력기기에 대한 실계통 운영시스템이 반드시 필요한데, 본 논문에서는 이천변전소에서 설치 운영될 22.9kV 초전도케이블과 22.9kV 초전도한류기의 실계통 병입과 관련하여 국내전력계통에서 운영하고 있는 SCADA 시스템과 호환할 수 있도록 계통운영자 관점에서 설계한 국내최초 초전도기기 실계통 운영모니터링시스템을 소개하고자 한다.

We investigated current limiting properties for an SFCL of YBCO thin film coated with an Au layer. The YBCO film of 1 mm wide and 400 nm thick could carry the current 9.6 A$_{peak}$ without quench. The SFCL limited the fault current below 7.6 A$_{peak}$, which otherwise increases above 65 A$_{peak}$ and melted down at the potential fault current of about 100 A$_{peak}$ which is 10 times greater than the quench current. This means that the Au layer successfully protected the superconducting film by dispersing the heat generated at hot spots and electrically shunting the YBCO film.

In this paper, we validate simulation results for the design optimization of a Superconducting Fault Current Limiter (SFCL) intended for use in Medium Voltage Direct Current systems (MVDC). With the increasing integration of renewable energy and grid connections, researchers are focusing on medium-voltage systems for balancing energy in new and renewable energy networks, rather than traditional transmission or distribution networks. Specifically, for DC distribution networks dealing with fault currents that must be rapidly blocked, current-limiting systems like superconducting current limiters offer distinct advantages over the operation of DC circuit breakers. The development of such superconducting current limiters requires finite element analysis (FEM) and an extensive design process before prototype production and evaluation. To expedite this design process, the design outcomes are assimilated using a Reduced Order Model (ROM). This approach enables the verification of results akin to finite element analysis, facilitating the optimization of design simulations for production and mass production within existing engineering frameworks.

초전도한류기(SFCL)는 고장전류에 대한 초고속 감지, 고장전류 제한이 가능하고, 정상계통에서는 무손실 운영이 가능한 신개념의 기기이다. 공급신뢰도 측면에서 SFCL은, 고장전류 저감으로 송전을 지속할 수 있는 장점이 있는 반면, 기존 계통에 직렬연결되므로 자체 고장으로 인해 공급신뢰도를 악화시킬 수도 있다. 특히, 고속스위치를 필요로 하는 하이브리드형 SFCL의 경우 계통연계 이전에 SFCL 자체의 신뢰성이나 주위 계통에 미치는 영향을 미리 검토해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 SFCL의 신뢰도 데이터를 계산하는 기법과 SFCL 인근 설비의 신뢰도 데이터를 갱신하는 방법에 대해 제시하였으며, 이는 SFCL가 연계된 배전계통의 수용가 공급신뢰도를 산출하기 위해 필요한 사전단계에 해당한다.

Recently, the fault current has increased to exceed the rated breaking capacity of protective device due to the growth of the power demand on the power system where is changed into the loop-, mesh-, network grid. To limit fault current, the superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) is announced with various methods. In many researches, the current limiting effect with the SFCL has been analyzed considering the rated breaking capacity of the CB with one fault condition. However, the power system has various short circuit and operation conditions. In order to select the capacity of the SFCL with reclosing operation and burden of the fault current on the protective device, the characteristics of the power system were investigated. Through the analysis, the evaluation method of the current rate was improved.

As the load density of KEPCO system is higher, the fault current can be much higher than SCC(Short Circuit Capacity) of circuit breaker. Fault current exceeding the rating of circuit breaker is a very serious problem in high density load area, which can threaten the stability of whole power system. Even though there are several alternatives to reduce fault current, as the superconductivity technology has been developed, the HTS-FCL (High Temperature Superconductivity Fault Current Limiter) can be one of the attractive alternatives to solve the fault current problem. This study presents the application plication of 154kV HTS-FCL in Korean power system.

We fabricated a resistive SFCL having a shunt resistor parallel to it in order to bifurcate the transient current at faults. The SFCL consists of a YBCO film coated with an Au layer (10 ${\omega}$ at room temperature), which is to disperse the heat generated at hot spots in the YBCO film, and the 5 ${\omega}$ shunt resistor. The minimum quench current of the SFCL was found to be 12.2 A$_{peak}$. This SFCL successfully controlled the fault current below 23 A$_{peak}$ which is otherwise to increase up to 113 A$_{peak}$. Bifurcation of the current resulted in the temperature rise of the YBCO/Au film 3 times slower than without the shunt, protecting the SFCL at high currents.
