Cold 층을 입힌 저항형 초전도 한류기의 전류 제한 특성을 통하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 고장발생후 3.2 msec 후에 quench가 발생하였으며, 부분적인 quench가 발생한 다음 시간이 지나면서 완전한 quench로 진행되었다. 즉, 선로고장에 따른 quench 발생 후 YBCO 초전도체의 gold층으로 대부분의 전류가 흐르게 되고, quench 되면서 발생하는 열도 대부분 gold층에서 흡수하여저항이 증가하였으며 이에 따른 전류감소, 전압증가 및 소비전력증가가 발생하였다. 인가전압 V$_0$=65 V$_{peak}$이고 R$_0$는 1 ${\omega}$, 그리고 R$_L$을 7.7 ${\omega}$으로 하였을 때 사고모의 위상각 0$^{\circ}$에서 고장발생후 0.9 msec 후인 9.6 A$_{peak}$ 되는 지점에서 quench가 발생하여 13.0 A$_{peak}$의 최대한류전류값을 보인후 11.4 A$_{peak}$의 전류값에서 fast quench가 완료되었다. 이때 quench 시간은0.63 msec 이었다. 저항값은 gold층에서 발생한 열때문에 점진적인 상승을 보이다가 약 3주기후에 일정한 값에 도달하였다. 한류소자의 온도는 약 11 msec 후에 상온에 도달하였으며, 3 주기후인 54 msec에는 150 $^{\circ}C$까지 상승하였다. gold 박막을 입힌 meander line은 임계전류 이상의 전류를 통전하였을 때에 용단되지 않았으며 ??치된 상태에서 3 사이클 이상 유지하였다. 약65 A$_{rms}$가 흘렀을 때에야 ??치후 3 사이클 지나용단되었다. 이러한 YBCO/gold에 의한 초전도한류기의 용량은 gold에 발생하는 열을 gold가감당할 수 있는 전류의 크기와 관련이 있으며, gold층이 YBCO 한류소자가 quench되었을 때 발생하는 열을 효과적으로 분산시킬 뿐만 아니라 전기적으로 shunt 회로 역할을 하고 있음을 확인할 수 있다. 이에 더하여 앞으로 quench 후 한류소자에서 발생할 수 있는 인덕턴스의 저감방안에 대한 설계 및 모델 탐구를 통하여 좀더 효율적인 한류소자 구성에 대한 연구를 병행하고자 한다.

Since a stabilizer of YBCO coated conductor (CC) plays a very important role of bypassing over-current and transferring heat generated in the moment of fault, it is one of big issues to determine the material of the stabilizer and its dimension for the high performance of the HTS power application system. Especially, in the case of a superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL), which requires it to react immediately to the occurrence of fault, characteristics of stabilizer are decisive in limiting fault current and recovering superconducting properties during and after quenching. In this paper, the quench / recovery characteristics of YBCO CCs with various thickness of stabilizer were analyzed. The quench/recovery test carried out at 20 $V_{rms}$, 5 cycles (60 Hz) and results showed that as the thickness of the stabilizer decreased, both the final approach temperature and the recovery time decreased.

The low normal zone propagation velocity (NZPV) of high-temperature superconducting (HTS) tape leads to a quench protection problem in HTS magnet applications. To overcome this limitation, various studies were conducted on HTS coils without turn-to-turn insulation (NI coils) that can achieve self-protection. On the other hand, NI coils have some disadvantages such as slow charging and discharging time. Previously, the HTS coils with turn-to-turn insulation (INS coils) were operated in power supply (PS) driven mode, which requires physical contact with the external PS at room-temperature, not in persistent current mode. When a quench occurs in INS coils, the low NZPV delays quench detection and protection, thereby damaging the coils. However, the rotary HTS flux pump supplies the DC voltage to the superconducting circuit with INS coils in a non-contact manner, which causes the INS coils to operate in a persistent current mode, while enabling quench protection. In this paper, a new protection characteristic of HTS coils is investigated with INS coils charging through the rotary HTS flux pump. To experimentally verify the quench protection characteristic of the INS coil, we investigated the current magnitude of the superconducting circuit through a quench, which was intentionally generated by thermal disturbances in the INS coil under charging or steady state. Our results confirmed the protection characteristic of INS coils using a rotary HTS flux pump.

We improved quench properties of a superconducting fault current limiter(SFCL) components based on YBCO thin films. This consists of three components with nearly identical properties and one with slightly difference properties. The units were connected in series and first of parallel to increase the current and voltage ratings. It have caused significantly imbalanced power distribution. The imbalance remarkably improved by connecting a shunt reactor to the SFCL component in parallel.

소량의 misch metal과 Zr을 함유한 CuZnAI형상기억 합금의 변태온도에 미치는 열사이클 및 기계적 성질 변화에 대하여 고찰하였다. 합금원소 첨가에 따라 결정립에 매우 미세화 되었으며 용체화 처리후 100~$350^{\circ}C$구간에서 경도값 변화를 조사하기 위하여 post quench aging과 step quench aging처리한 결과 $200^{\circ}C$와 $250^{\circ}C$에서 최고의 경도값을 나타냈다. $M_f$온도이하에서 인당시험한 결과 파단강도와 연실율은 결저립이 미세할수록 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 또한 파단강도는 as quenching처리한 경우보다 post quench aging처리한 경우에 보다더 증가하였다. $\beta$-상에서의 시효는 $M_s$온도를 강하시켰으며 마르텐사이트상에서의 시효는 $A_s$ 온도를 증가시켰다. post quench aging 에 따른 $A_s$의 변화는 $\beta$에서의 회복율에 기여하였으며 변태온도 ($A_s-M_s$)히스테리시스는 열사이클에 의하여 증가하는 경향을 보였다.

We fabricated a resistive superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) of a meander type based on a YBCO film with the meander cross section of 5 $\times$ $10^{-6}$$cm^2$, and performed current limitation experiments. The film was coated quench current was 9.6 Apeak at 60 Hz, and the fast quench time was 0.63 msec. The resistance of the limiter continuously increased for three cycles dut to the temperature rise in the gold layer. The temperature of the current limiting element reached the room temperature in 11 msec, $150^{\circ}C$ in 54 msec after quench, and was saturated afterwards. For $45^{\circ}$and $90^{\circ}$faults the fast quench times were 0.56 msec and 0.26 msec, respectively. The quench time is believed to be reduced because the fault occurred when the current was either increasing or at the peak value. This limiter effectively limited the fault current to about 1/5 of the potential current with no SFCL right after the fault and to about 1/8.5 in three cycles. We confirmed that the gold layer effectively carried out the role of heat dissipation as the SFCL was quenched.

We present current limiting properties of 1.2kV/70A superconducting fault current limiter based on YBCO thin films. This is consisted of 6 wafers (3 parallel $\times$ 2 serial connection) with 4 inch-diameter YBCO thin film. The quench current Iq of the switching elements vary between 33.9 and 35.6 A. Within the difference of 0.5 A in the sum of quench current Iq in two stacks, the serial connection of the stacks showed the simultaneous quench behavior in applied power of 1.2 kV/70A.

We investigated the properties of a hybrid type superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL), which consists of a transformer with multiple secondary windings and resistive $YBa_2Cu_3O_7$ (YBCO) thin film stripes. The secondary windings of the transformer were coupled with each other, and a superconducting current limiting unit of YBCO stripes was connected to each of them as a switch. Simple connection in series of SFCL units tends to produce imbalance in power among the units due to slight differences in quench current. In current design, magnetic coupling between the SFCL units provides a solution to power dissipation imbalance, inducing simultaneous quench by current redistribution in the YBCO films.

Quench behavior of resistive superconducting fault current limiters (SFCLS) with various pattern shapes was investigated. The pattern shapes employed were meander, bi-spiral, and spital shapes of identical line width, gap and margin. SFCLS were fabricated from YBCO thin films grown on two-inch diameter Al$_2$O$_3$ substrates under the same conditions. The total length of current limiting paths was the shortest at the spital shape due to its larger useless space. Inductance component of SFCLs with the spiral shape was around two times as high as those of other two shapes. This is not desirable since impedance characteristics of existing power systems can be changed. Resistance rise of current limiting elements was low at a spiral shape before the whole quench completion, which may act as a disadvantage for simultaneous quench in serial connection between current limiting elements, but the temperature tended to have similar values at higher voltages. On the other hand, hi-spital shape was severe at insulation level between current limiting lines. When these aspects were considered, we concluded that a meander shape was appropriate to design for a resistive SFCL based on thin films except the concentration of electric field at edge areas of strip lines.
