This paper analyzed the application of Superconducting Fault Current Limiter (SFCL) on 22.9 [kV] bus tie in a power distribution system. Commonly, the parallel operations of power main transformers offer a lot of merits. However, when a fault occurs in the parallel operation of power main transformer, the fault currents might exceed the interruption capacity of existing protective devices. To resolve this problem, thus, the SFCL has been studied as the fascinating device. In case that, Particularly, the SFCL could be installed to parallel operation of various power main transformers in power distribution system of the Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) on 22.9 [kV] bus tie, the effect of the resistance of SFCL could reduce the increased fault currents and meet the interruption capacity of existing protective devices by them. Therefore, we analyzed the effect of application and proposed the proper impedance of the R-type SFCL on 22.9 [kV] bus tie in a power distribution system using PSCAD/EMTDC.

As the power system is more complex and power demands increase, the fault currents have the tendency of increasing gradually. In the near future it will happen that the fault currents exceed circuit breaker rating for some substations. In this paper, the resistive SFCL (Superconducting Fault Current Limiter) is installed at Bus-Tie location to reduce the fault current in korea power systems and evaluated technical and economical Impacts.

As the power demand has been increasing, a fault current problem is becoming more serious in real power system. Various ways like bus-split operation, transmission line open operation, are used in Korean power system for solving the problem. In this time, superconducting FCL(Fault Current Limiter) has been developed as a vary attractive alternative since HTS(High Temperature Superconductivity) was discovered. Korea, a project developing superconducting FCL to apply to 154kV transmission system is proceeding. Therefore, a power system analysis for SFCL application to power system is necessary, This paper presents the determination of quenching resistance and the selection of optimal cites when 154kV HTS-FCL is applied to Korean power system.

This paper presents an application of a improved branch exchange (IBE) algorithm with a tie branch power (TBP) flow equation to solve the Optimal Routing problem for operation of a radial Power system including power distribution system. The main objective of the Optimal Routing problem usually is to minimize the network real power loss and to improve the voltage profile in the network. The new BE algorithm adopts newly designed methods which are composed by decision method of maximum loss reduction and new index of loss exchange in loop network Thus, the proposed algorithm in this paper can search the optimal topological structures of distribution feeders by changing the open/closed states of the sectionalizing and tie switches. The proposed algorithm has been evaluated with the practical IEEE 32, 69 bus test systems and KEPCO 148 bus test system to show favorable performance gained.

Applicability and economical feasibility of a Superconducting Fault Current Limiter (SFCL) have been investigated using the PSS/E simulation for a bus bar coupling at the real 154 ㎸ KEPCO power grid near Seoul. For the investigated substation, the maximum fault current exceeds the interruption rating of 4 circuit breakers (CB) out of 9 installed in the substation. The simulation showed that a SFCL installed in the bus tie position effectively limits the fault currents to save 4 CBs, which are to be replaced by ones of gloater interruption rating, otherwise. We suggest that the optimum resistance of the SFCL be 10 Ohm for the given grid.

This paper is for studying the feasibility of SFCL application for the interconnection operation of 154kV power systems under 345kV S/S in Korean power system. All Korean 154kV power systems are constructed as loop systems in downtown. However, the present 154kV systems are operated with separated systems around 345kV S/S because of fault current and overload problems. In this study, we investigate the structure and operation of 154kV power system in Seoul and study the feasibility of interconnection operation of 154kV systems under 345kV systmes by applying SFCLs to 154kV bus-tie.

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.
