This paper describes the effect of the interconnected wind turbine generators on fault current level of distribution networks. Distributed generator(DG) interconnected with grid can supply the power into a power network not only the normal conditions, but also the fault conditions of distribution network. If the fault happened in the distribution power line with DG, the fault current level measured in a relaying point might be higher than that of distribution network without wind turbine generator due to the contribution of wind farm. Consequently, it may destroy the conventional protective devices applied in the distribution network with DG. Simulation results shows that the current level of fault happened in the power line with DG depends on the power output of DG.

We investigated the unbalanced characteristics of the superconducting fault current limiters (SFCLs) based on YBCO thin films with a single line-to-ground fault. When a single line-to-ground fault occurred, the short circuit current of a fault phase increased about 6 times of transport currents after the fault onset but was effectively limited to the designed current level within 2 ms by the resistance development of the SFCL. The fault currents of the sound phases almost did not change because of their direct grounding system. The unbalanced rates of a fault phase were distributed from 6.4 to 1.4. It was found that the unbalanced rates of currents were noticeably improved within one cycle after the fault onset. We calculated the zero phase currents for a single line-to-ground fault using the balanced component analysis. The positive sequence resistance was reduced remarkably right after the fault onset but eventually approached the balanced positive resistance component prior to the system fault. This means that the system reaches almost the three-phase balanced state in about 60 ms after the fault onset at the three-phase system.

According to the rapid growth of transmission power, fault current level approaches to the maximum capacity of circuit breaker. This paper has been proposed a superconducting current limiter (SCL) to reduce the fault current to appropriate level. Superconductor for SCL has been examined and design criterion of each triggering method has been shown. Superconducting current limiter was fabricated using thin film and switching characteristics were shown, where thermal and current triggering were adopted.

Wind farm interconnected with grid can supply the power into a power network not only the normal conditions, but also the fault conditions of distribution network. If the fault happened in the distribution power line with wind fm, the fault current level measured in a relaying point might be lower than that of distribution network without wind turbine generator due to the contribution of wind farm. Consequently, it may be difficult to detect the fault happened in the distribution network connected with wind generator This paper describes the effect of the interconnected wind turbine generators on protective relaying of distribution power lines and detection of the fault occurred in a power line network. Simulation results shows that the current level of fault happened in the power line with wind farm depends on the fault impedance, the fault location. the output of wind farm. and the load condition of distribution network.

With the rapid growth of power system capacity, fault current levels approach the maximum capacity of circuit breakers. In this paper, a superconducting current limiter (SCL) is proposed to reduce the fault current to an appropriate level. Superconductor for SCL has been examined and design criterion of each triggering method has been shown. Thin film SCL has been fabricated and switching characteristics are shown, where thermal and current triggering methods are adopted. Experimental result shows that fault current is reduced to one-half.

High critical current density, high n value, multiple faults endurances, and fast recovery characteristics of YBCO thin films are very attractive characteristics for developing resistive type superconducting fault current limiters. But due to the limited current and voltage ratings of one YBCO module, it is needed to construct series and parallel module connections for high capacity electric networks. Especially for distribution network, more than 30 units should be connected in series to meet voltage level. So in order to construct distribution-level superconducting fault current limiter, simultaneous quench in one YBCO thin films should be realized, and furthermore, quench should be occurred in all fault current limiting units equally to avoid local heating and failures. In this paper, we proposed optimum design of YBCO thin films for fault current limiting module and technical method using shunt resistor to achieve simultaneous quench between multi current limiting units. From the analytical and the experimental results, optimal current path and thickness of shunt material was determined for YBCO thin films and shunt resistor between modules was developed. Finally, 14 kV one phase resistive fault current limiter using multi YBCO thin films was constructed and it was possible to get satisfactory test results.

전력 계통에서 전력 용량의 급격한 증가는 고장 용량이 차단기의 차단 용량을 초과하게 함으로써 계통의 신뢰도를 심각하게 저하시킬 수 있다. 한류기는 고장 용량을 차단 용량 레벨로 제한함으로써 신뢰도를 개선할 수 있는 실질적이고 효과적인 방법이다. 본 연구에서는 한류기의 전력계통 적용 시 적용 방법론을 개발하는 데에 도움이 될 수 있도록 먼저, 한류기의 유형별 구조와 동작원리를 분석하였으며 주요 장단점들을 비교하였다. 다음, 한류기의 전력 계통에 대한 적용 효과를 검증하기 위해 한류기가 도입된 전력계통을 모델링하였다. 끝으로, EMTP-RV를 이용하여 3상 단락 고장을 모의한 후, 한류기의 적용 전과 후의 전류를 비교를 통해 한류기에 의해 고장 전류 감소하는 것을 확인함으로써 적용 효과를 검증할 수 있었다.

This paper proposes a FRTU-based intelligent fault distance determination strategy in which each FRTU is able to avoid multiple estimations and reduce the level of estimation error by utilizing heuristic rules driven by voltage and current information collected by 1:1 communication with other FRTUs from the same zone in a ubiquitous-based distribution system. In the proposed method, each FRTU, at first, determines a fault zone and a fault path on the faulted zone based on the proposed heuristic rules which use its current data and the voltage data of its neighboring FRTUs as input data. Next, it determines the fault distance from its position based on the fault current estimated from the current data of the neighboring FRTUs. Finally, in order to prove the effectiveness of the proposed method, the diverse fault cases are simulated in several positions of the typical distribution system using the EMTP.

자속구속형 초전도 사고전류 제한기는 평상시 자기적인 결합에 의해 철심의 히스테리시스 손실이 발생하지 않는 특징이 있다. 그러나 사고시에는 사고전류증가로 인해 고온초전도 소자의 저항발생과 함께 철심의 포화가 발생할 경우 제한기의 사고전류제한 특성을 저하시키는 현상이 발생하게 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이를 분석하고 억제하기 위한 설계방안을 도출하기 위해 자속구속형 고온초전도 사고전류 제한기의 구성요소인 자속구속 리액터의 히스테리시스 특성을 고려한 사고전류 제한특성을 분석하였다. 이를 위해 제한기의 등가회로와 사고전류 제한실험으로부터 히스테리시스 곡선을 도출하였다. 1, 2차권선의 인덕턴스 비에 따른 히스테리시스 곡선으로부터 인덕턴스비가 증가함에 따라 제한되는 사고전류크기는 증가한 반면 사고시 자속구속형 사고전류제한기의 구성요소인 철심의 포화가 억제됨을 확인할 수 있었다.
