Abstract

The increase in the capacities of power transmission and in fault current of the related machinery in the grid has resulted in the development of various types of superconducting fault current limiters (SFCLs). However, as a solution to increase the ratings of voltage and current of SFCL for the application into real power system, the method to use magnetically coupled coils have been required.
In this paper, we proposed the new resistive type SFCL using flux linkage between coil 1 and coil 2. The proposed SFCL consisted of a YBCO thin film and a reactor, which was wound in parallel with two coils on a same iron core. The operational characteristics were analyzed based on the equivalent circuit of this SFCL and the fault current limiting characteristics were investigated through the experiments. The limiting fault current and the resistance of HTSC element could be controlled by the adjustment of the inductances of two coils. It was shown through the analysis that this new resistive type SFCL could increase the short-circuit capacity as well as the ratings of voltage.
