The superconducting fault current limiter(SFCL) can be used to limit fault current level in electrical transmission line and power system. Up to now, there are several kinds of SFCL that have proposed and it is expects that they will be applied to appropriated position considering their own properties; initial fault current limiting instant and the current limiting characteristics. In this paper, we investigated the initial fault current limiting instant and the amplitude of initial fault current in the resistive type, the flux-lock type, the flux-coupling type and the transformer type SFCL. Experiment results show that the initial fault current limiting instant and the amplitude of initial fault current of the SFCLs are dependant on the ratio of inductance of primary and secondary coils.

The superconducting fault current limiter(SFCLs) provides the effect such as enhancement in the power system reliability due to limiting fault current in a few miliseconds. The Flux-lock type SFCL using the YBCO film among various type SFCLs consists of the primary and the secondary copper coils that are wound in parallel each other through the iron core. The operation can be controlled by adjusting the inductances and the winging directions of each the coil. We compared the current limiting performance on the additive and the subtractive polarity winding directions in case of an open-loop iron core. To analyze quench characteristics, we experimented various phase angle.

It is very important for power stability to suppress the excessive fault current happened frequently in the real power grid The superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) is one of the most effective ways to reduce the fault current among the facilities developed so far. In this paper, we have investigated the operating characteristics of the power grid with the SFCL according to three types such as the single, double and triple line-to-ground faults. In addition, we analyzed the consumption power of the superconducting units based on the working data of the SFCL. We confirmed that the fault current could be limited lower than its peak value to 85 percentage in initial fault condition and to 85 percentage after one cycle in the matrix-type SFCL. The consumption powers of the superconducting units were almost equal by reduction of the difference of the critical current between superconducting units element.

고온 초전도체를 이용한 자속구속형 사고전류제한기는 1차권선과 2차권선을 감는 방향이나 감은 횟수의 비율에 따라서 부하전류용량과 전류제한용량이 다르다. 부하전류용량은 사고 발생 시 최초의 전류 제한 레벨과 밀접하게 관련이 되는데 자속구속형 사고전류제한기에서 최초의 전류 제한 레벨은 인덕턴스에 의해서 결정되기 때문이다. 전류제한용량은 사고전류제한기의 임피던스와 관계된다. 이 논문에서 자속구속형 사고전류제한기의 변압기 특성을 변화시키면서 부하전류용량과 전류제한용량의 변화를 살펴보았다.

With the rapid industrialization and economical development, the electricity demands of the industrial facilities and densely populated large cities are continuing to increase in Korea. The increase in the power consumption requires the extension of power facilities, but it is difficult to secure spaces for equipment installation in the limited space of urban areas. In addition, the 154 kV or 345 kV transmission systems in Korea has a short transmission distance, and are connected to one another in network structures that ensure the high reliability and stability of power supply. This structure reduces the impedance during the fault in power system, and increases the magnitude of in the short circuit fault current. The superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) was devised to effectively address these existing problems. The SFCL is a new-concept eco-friendly protective device that ensures fast operation and recovery time for the fault current and does not need additional fault detection devices. Therefore, many studies are being conducted around the world. In this paper, based on the wiring method the initial fault current characteristics, current limiting characteristics, according to the incident angle and the change in inductance current limiting characteristics were analyzed in a multifaceted methods.
