For proper application and operation of a SFCL(Superconducting Fault Current Limiter) in distribution systems, the prior investigation of fundamental characteristics and its effects analysis to the systems are very important. A point of view in coordination with recloser in distribution systems, characteristic about quenching and recovering of SFCL should be studied. Especially, its detailed study of recovery characteristic is particularly important to avoid conflict between the SFCL and the recloser. In this paper, the resistive type SFCL and recloser, which used in distribution system, were implemented using EMTP/ATPDraw and MODELS language. To analyze the recovery characteristics of SFCL according to recloser operation in distribution systems, case studies have been simulated and investigated.

Superconducting fault currents(SFCLs) are expected to improve not only reliability but also stability of real power systems. The analysis on the single line-to-ground fault of the integrated three phase flux-lock type SFCL, which consists of three flux-lock reactor wound on an iron core in each single phase and three YBCO thin films, was investigated in current limiting operation characteristics. We compared 21turn numbers with 42turn numbers according to wound turn numbers each the coil 2 under the additive polarity winding operation between coil 1 and coil 2. The three phase flux-lock type SFCL using an iron core differently operates general three phase resistive SFCLs. When a single line-to-ground fault occurred, the SFCL's three units were quenched after fault onset. We confirmed effective current limiting operation characteristics with adjustable inductance level.

We investigated fault current limiting characteristics of the flux-lock type superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL), which consisted of a primary winding and several secondary windings connected in series between $high-T_C$ superconducting (HTSC) thin films. Each YBCO thin film has a 2 mm wide and 42 cm long meander line with 14 stripes of different length. The power imbalance due to the slight difference of Ie between YBCO current limiting elements causes the significant power burden on YBCO element with lower $I_C$. We confirmed from our experiments that the mutual coupling between the primary winding and secondary windings of the flux-lock type SFCL reduced the power imbalance between YBCO current limiting elements compared with the resistive type SFCL connected in series.

We investigated the operating characteristics of a flux-lock type superconducting fault current limiters according to the number of the serial connection each the superconducting element at the additive polarity winding of a transformer. This SFCL consists of two coils wound in parallel on the same iron core, and the secondary coil is connected to the elements in series. Operating characteristics can be controlled by adjusting the inductances and the winding directions of the coils. It turns ratio between the primary and the secondary coils is 63:21. The analysis of voltage, current, and resistance in serial connection each element was performed to increase the applied voltage of flux-lock type SFCL. When the applied voltage was 200/$\sqrt{3}[V_{rms}]$ with three elements connected in seres, the peak value of the line current increased up to 26,24[A]. On the other hands, resistive SFCL increased up to 36.35[A], under the same conditions. This enabled the flux-lock type SFCL to be easy to increase the capacity of power system.

Superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) is attractive apparatus to reduce fault current in power grid. Since it is applied to the alternating current (AC) power line, the SFCL has losses in the normal operation. Recently, coated conductor (CC) is noticeable material employed for resistive bifilar winding type SFCL in many research groups. Bifilar structure is expected to have low AC loss by magnetic field offset as compared with the single tape structure in the same length. This paper reports about characteristic of bifilar pancake type coil for SFCL application in AC loss aspect. The bifilar coil is wound using CC with facing on HTS sides each other. Transport AC loss measurement and characteristic analysis of the bifilar coil using CC have been performed at 77K. The test results are compared with the Norris equations and the test results of non-inductively wound paralleled solenoid type coil which is suggested and tested in this group at present.

A subcooled liquid nitrogen cryostat is required for the cooling of a 6.6 ㎸, 200 A resistive type superconductive fault current limiter (SFCL). To help understand and design an appropriate cryostat for SFCL a prototype cryostat was fabricated and tested. Several states of subcooled liquid nitrogen were obtained by using cryocooler and helium gas. The temperature was uniformly distributed inside the liquid nitrogen vessel within the range of 0.4 K proving the effectiveness of the conduction cylinder.

As an preliminary study for the quench protection of high temperature superconducting (HTS) cable using superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL), experimental research was carried out. The test circuit was composed of Bi-2223/Ag HTS tape and a SFCL made of YBCO thin films. In the normal state, the applied current of 56 A, which was critical current of HTS tape, could be flown through the circuit without resistive loss. Increasing the currents, the quench development of both materials was investigated from the voltage signal acquired from the resistance of the quenched superconductor. Up to around 10 times of the critical current was applied to the HTS tape and the current limiting characteristics of SFCL were investigated. In addition, for the finding out the optimal operating condition of SFCL such as the numbers of elements, a shunt resistor was applied to the SFCL and quench characteristics were analyzed as well.

본 논문에서는 결선방향에 따른 자속구속형 전류제한기의 전류제한 및 회 특성에 대해 분석하였다. 자속구속형 초전도 한류기는 초전도 소자와 직렬로 연결된 2차 권선과 병렬로 연결된 1 2차 권선으로 구성되어 있다. 1 2차 권선의 결선방향에 따른 가극 결선과 가극 결선을 갖는 자속구속형 전류제한기를 저항형 전류제한기와 비교하여 분석하였다. 전류제한 및 회복특성은 1 2차 권선의 결선방향에 의존한다. 가극 결선을 갖는 자속구속형 전류제한기의 퀜치시간은 감극 결선이나 저항형 전류제한기보다 더 빠르다는 것을 확인하였다. 초전도 소자에서 소비되는 에너지는 $W= VIt=I^2Rt$으로 표현할 수 있다. 결선 방향에 따라 초전도 소자에서 소비되는 에너지의 차이는 초전도 소자에서 부담하는 전압의 차이 때문이라는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

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.
