Fabrication and test of a miniaturized superconducting DC cable system

축소형 초전도 직류 케이블 시스템의 제작 및 시험

The DC side voltage and current of a HVDC transmission system are directly affected by non-linear switching devices such as the thyristor valve which causes real power losses, even under the superconducting conditions of a high temperature superconducting (HTS) power cable. This paper deals with the development of miniaturized superconducting DC cable system. The authors designed and fabricated two thyristor converters for DC transmission system. One is operated as a rectifier and the other is an inverter. The HTS model cable was connected between the DC side of the rectifier and inverter. Real DC transport current and voltage were applied to the miniaturized HTS DC cable. Experimental results are discussed in detail.
