Due to large demand, the increase of fault current has caused the capacity of power machines in power grid to increase. Among several countermeasures, the superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) has been noticed as one of the promising countermeasures to solve these problems. However, in spite of excellent current limiting performances of the SFCL, the application of SFCL to power system has been delayed due to both the limited space for the SFCL's installation and its longer recovery time after the fault removal. In order to solve these problems, a hybrid type SFCL was developed. In this paper, we studied the operation characteristics of the hybrid SFCL with first half cycle non-limiting operation by modelling using PSCAD/EMTDC and experiment. It was shown through the simulation using PSCAD/EMTDC and the simulated experiment that the fault current limiting and the fast recovery operations of the hybrid SFCL with the first half cycle non-limiting operation were achieved.

In this paper, we investigated the current limiting characteristics due to the application location of the superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) such as the feeder, the bus, the secondary side of transformer in a power distribution system. In addition, the quench and the recovery characteristics of the SFCL installed in each location of the power distribution system were compared each other. Through the analysis, in case that the SFCL was applied into the feeder line, its current limiting and voltage-drop compensating characteristics were confirmed to be the more effective. On the other hand, the power burden of the SFCL was increased higher compared to the SFCL'S other application location.

본 논문에서는 고장발생 초기에 초전도 전류제한기를 구성하는 초전도 소자의 ��치발생을 검출하여 고장전류의 경로를 별도의 상전도 전류제한기로 우회시킴으로써 초전도 전류제한기의 회복시간을 단축시킬 수 있는 초전도소자의 트리거를 이용한 초전도 전류제한기의 전류제한 및 회복특성에 대해 분석하였다. 고장전류 크기를 조절하기 용이한 구성요소로 상전도 전류제한기의 저항크기에 따른 초전도 전류제한기를 구성하고 있는 전력용스위치의 개방시점과 투입시점의 변화를 비교하였으며, 분석을 통해 상전도 전류 제한기의 저항이 증가할수록 초전도 전류제한기를 구성하는 전력용스위치의 복귀시간이 길게 나타남을 확인할 수 있었다.

The fault current has been increasing due to expansive substation facilities for meeting the increase of demand. To limit increasing fault current in a power system, among methods the superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) has been considered to be adopted in the power grid. However, in case of adopting SFCL in the power system, most of SFCLs need to solve problems such as recovery, cost. With efforts to solve those problems, the novel fault current limiting device which is called hybrid SFCL is developed. To apply the hybrid SFCL, it has to be needed to analyze application possibility and itself operation characteristics. In this paper, the fault current limiting and operation characteristics of hybrid SFCL with first half cycle the limiting operation in case of various resistances of superconducting element were analyzed through experiment.

We investigated the characteristics of flux-lock type superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) by the fault cycles. Since the recovery characteristics of a superconducting element in the flux-lock type SFCL were dependent on the winding' direction between two coils, the analysis for the recovery characteristics of this type SFCL together with the current limiting characteristic is necessary to apply it to power system. As the fault cycles was increased from 1 cycle to 5 cycles, the initial limiting current ($I_{ini}$) and quench characteristic were mostly same. As the fault period increases, the recovery time of the superconducting element increases. The consumed energy and recovery characteristics in a superconducting element show the same tendency.

자속구속형 초전도 한류기는 1차 권선과 초전도 소자가 직렬로 연결된 2차 권선을 갖는 변압기로 구성되어 있다. 이 초전도 한류기는 결선방향에 따라 감.가극 결선으로 나누어진다. 1차 권선과 2차 권선의 인덕턴스 비에 따라 자속구속형 초전도 한류기는 사고전류의 제한특성을 제어할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 인가전압에 따른 자속구속형 초전도 한류기의 전압 전류 특성을 분석하였다. 감 가극 결선된 자속구속형 초전도 한류기의 인가전압을 증가시켰을 때, 초기에 제한되는 전류 및 초전도 소자의 ??치 시간은 증가하였다. 초전도 소자의 회복시간은 인가전압이 증가함에 따라 증가하였다. 그러므로 자속구속형 초전도 한류기의 회복특성은 초전도 소자의 소비전력이 증가하기 때문에 초전도 소자에서 소비되는 에너지에 크게 의존한다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Superconducting fault current limiters (SFCL) have been progressing due to the development of superconducting technology. The resistor type SFCL is one of the promising current limiting devices in power system for its effective operation. For proper application and operation of a SFCL, the prior investigation of fundamental characteristics and its effects to the distribution systems are needed. The most important current limiting behavior of a SFCL is dominated by quenching and recovery characteristics. In this paper, the resistive type SFCL was developed by using EMTP/ATPDraw and MODELS language. The operating characteristics and current limiting behaviors of the SFCL in distribution systems have been simulated and investigated.

본 논문은 고장발생 초기 고장전류의 크기에 따라 피크전류제한 기능을 갖도록 하나의 철심에 기존 1차 코일과 2차 코일이 병렬로 연결된 초전도 소자 1과 추가적인 철심을 사용하여 3차 권선에 초전도 소자 2가 연결된 자기결합형 초전도한류기를 제안하였다. 이중 철심을 이용하여 코일 1과 코일 2간 병렬로 연결한 자기결합형 초전도한류기가 고장발생시 피크전류를 초전도 소자 1만이 분담하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 그 이유는 초기 사고전류의 순간적인 요소가 커서 초전도 소자 1이 ?치되어 작동하였으나, 코일 3에 흐르는 전류가 임계전류를 초과하지 않았고, 이로 인해 초전도 소자 2가 ?치되어 작동하지 않았기 때문이다. 사고 시 피크전류를 순차적인 초전도 소자로 제한하기 위해서는 코일 1이 낮은 자기인덕턴스 값을 갖고 있으면서도 코일 2보다 코일 3이 보다 높은 자기인덕턴스 값을 갖도록 설계해야 할 것이다. 또한, 고장 발생 초기 사고전류의 크기를 결정하는 고장조건 중의 하나인 1차 코일과 2차 코일간의 권선비가 0.25일 때 두 SFCL의 전류제한 및 회복특성에 대한 검증을 선로단락실험을 통해 분석되었다. 이 단락실험의 분석결과, 가극결선인 경우가 감극결선한 경우보다도 전류제한 및 회복특성이 더욱 우수함을 확인할 수 있었다.

The fault current limiting characteristics of the flux-lock type superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) using a transformer winding were investigated. The suggested flux-lock type SFCL consists of two parallel connected coils on an iron core and the transformer winding connected in series with one of two coils. In this SFCL, the high-TC superconducting (HTSC) element was connected with the secondary side of the transformer. The short-circuit experimental devices to analyze the fault current limiting characteristics of the flux-lock type SFCL using the transformer winding were constructed. Through the short-circuit tests, the flux-lock type SFCL using transformer winding was shown to perform more effective fault current limiting operation compared to the previous flux-lock type SFCL without the transformer winding from the viewpoint of the quench occurrence and the recovery time of the HTSC element.

When the current of the superconducting element exceeds its critical current by the fault occurrence, the quench of the high-$T_C$ superconducting fault current limiter (HTSC) comprising the flux-lock type superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) occurs. Simultaneously, the magnetic flux in the iron core induces the voltage in each coil, which contributes to limit the fault current. In this paper, the fault current limiting characteristics of the flux-lock type SFCL as well as the load voltage sag suppressing characteristics according to the flux-lock type SFCL's winding direction were investigated. To confirm the fault current limiting and the voltage sag suppressing characteristics of the this SFCL, the short-circuit tests for the simulated power system with the flux-lock type SFCL were carried out. The flux-lock type SFCL designed with the additive polarity winding was shown to perform more effective fault current limiting and load voltage sag suppressing operations through the fast quench occurrence right after the fault occurs and the fast recovery operation after the fault removes than the flux-lock type SFCL designed with the subtractive polarity winding.
