풍력발전 시스템용 고온 초전도 (HTS) 발전기는 높은 효율과 기존 발전기에 비해 작은 크기로 제작이 가능한 이점을 가지고 있다. 그러나 고온 초전도 발전기는 높은 전류 밀도와 자기장으로 인해 HTS 계자 코일에 작용하는 로렌츠 힘에 따른 문제가 발생할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 계자 코일 구조에 따른 750 kW 급 초전도 풍력 발전기에 대한 모듈화 된 HTS 계자 코일의 특성 분석을 다룬다. 모듈화 된 HTS 필드 코일의 구조는 3D 유한 요소법을 사용하여 얻은 전자기 및 기계 분석 결과를 기반으로 설계하였고 모듈 코일의 전자기력도 분석하였다. 그 결과, HTS 코일의 수직 자기장과 최대 자기장은 각각 2.5 T와 3.9 T로 나타났다. 지지대의 최대 응력은 유리 섬유 강화 플라스틱 재료의 허용 응력보다 작았으며, 변위는 허용 범위 이내로 발생하였다. HTS 모듈 코일 구조의 설계 사양 및 결과는 대용량 초전도 풍력 발전기 개발에 효과적으로 활용될 수 있다.

Hybrid fault current limiters (FCL) have been researched at Yonsei University. The hybrid FCL has advantages such as having a rapid response to a sudden fault situation and a fast recovery time from a quench. It consists of an asymmetric HTS coil, a switching module, and a bypass reactor. The asymmetric HTS coil is wound with two different types of HTS wires in an opposite direction so that it has nearly zero inductance at the superconducting state. When the quench occurs at the fault state, a strong magnetic field is generated from the asymmetric coil because of different quench characteristics of two HTS wires, and then a repulsive force is induced in the switching module. The force opens the switch and the fault current is pushed into the bypass reactor. In this research, we analyzed the cause of the repulsive force and confirmed, experimentally and computationally, that the magnitude of a repulsive force is varied by changing the gap distance between the asymmetric coil and the switching module. By using the FEM simulation, we calculated the repulsive force with respect to the gap distance and verified that the effect of the gap distance. Then, short circuit test was carried out to confirm the correct operation of the fast switch.

많은 풍력회사들은 큰 용량, 작은 크기 및 가벼운 무게의 풍력 발전기를 개발하기 위해 노력해 왔다. 고온초전도 풍력발전기는 기존의 풍력 발전기에 비해 부피와 중량을 줄일 수 있기 때문에 풍력 발전시스템에 더 적합하다. 그러나 고온초전도 발전기는 큰 진공 용기 및 계자 코일의 유지 보수가 어려운 문제를 가지고 있다. 이러한 문제는 고온초전도 계자 코일의 모듈화를 통해 해소될 수 있다. 그런데 고온초전도 모듈 코일에는 직류 전류를 전달하기 위한 전류 리드가 필요하며, 이는 큰 열전달 부하를 발생시킨다. 따라서 전류 리드는 전도 및 Joule 열 부하를 줄이기 위해 최적으로 설계되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 750 kW급 고온초전도 발전기에 대한 모듈 코일의 구조 설계 및 열 해석을 다루었다. 모듈 코일의 전도 및 복사열 해석은 3D 유한요소법 프로그램을 사용하여 분석하였으며, 그 결과 총 열부하는 극저온 냉각장치의 냉각 용량보다 작았다. 본 논문에서 제시한 설계 및 해석결과는 풍력 발전시스템의 초전도 발전기 개발에 효과적으로 활용할 수 있을 것이다.

Usually, the AC loss from the superconducting element of an SFCL due to the load current is very small because it is composed of the combination of bifilar windings with very small reactance. Although the AC loss is small enough, we should be albe to predict for the design and control of the cryogenic system. In fact, an SFCL for the transmission voltage class may not generate ignorable AC loss because of the inevitable space between the HTS wires for the high voltage insulation and cryogenic efficiency. To measure the AC loss dependency on the space between the 2G HTS wires with the width of 4.4 mm, we prepared an experimental setup which could adjust the distance between the wires. We used two 500-mm length HTS wires in parallel and applied the current in the opposite direction for each wire to simulate a part of a current limiting module for a high voltage SFCL. We also put two couples of voltage taps at the ends of each wire and a cancel coil in the voltage measurement circuit to compensate the reactive component from the voltage taps. In this condition, we varied the distance between the wires to investigate the change of the transport current loss. A similar experimental study with HTS wire with the width of 12 mm is now in progress.

This paper deals with the computation of the current limiting behavior of high-temperature superconducting (HTS) modules for the superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL). The SFCL module consists of a monofilar type BSCCO-2212 tube and a shunt coil made of copper or brass. The shunt coil is connected to the monofilar superconducting tube in parallel. Through analysis of the quench behavior of the monofilar component with shunt coils, it is achieved to drive an equivalent circuit equation from the experimental circuit structure. In order to analyze the quench behavior of the SFCL module, we derived a partial differential equation technique. Inductance of the monofilar component and the impedance of the shunt coil are calculated by Bio-Savart and Ohm's formula, respectively. We computed the quench behavior using the calculated values, and compared the results with experimental results for the quench characteristics of a component. The results of computation and test agreed well each other, and it was concluded that the analytic result could be applied effectively to design of the distribution-level SFCL system.

We have studied the breaking system that combines a resistive superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) and a DC circuit breaker for DC fault current. To verify the design of the 15 kV DC SFCL, which was driven from the previous work, a 500 V DC system was built and a scale-down SFCL were manufactured. The manufactured SFCL module was designed as a bifilar coil which is a structure that minimizes inductive reactance. The manufactured SFCL module has been experiment to verify characteristics of the current-limiting performance in the DC 500 V system. Also, the manufactured FCL module was combined with the DC circuit breaker to be experimented to analyze the breaking performance. As a result of the experiment, when SFCL was combined to the DC circuit breaker, the energy dissipation received by the DC circuit breaker was reduced by up to 84% compared to when the DC circuit breaker operates alone. We are preparing methods and experiments for the optimal method for much higher performance as a future work.

In superconducting magnet applications, winding methods of the superconducting magnet can be classified into a layer winding and a pancake winding. The superconducting magnet using high temperature superconductor (HTS) with rectangular shape is generally fabricated using the pancake winding method. On the other hand, low temperature superconducting (LTS) magnet may be wound by either a pancake winding or a layer winding. Compared with the layer winding, the pancake winding method has a merit of easy replacement of a damaged pancake module, but it also has a demerit of requirement of splicing between each double pancake modules. In this paper, we investigated characteristics of the layer and pancake winding methods using HTS. Six samples were wound out of BSCCO and Coated Conductors (CCs) by two winding methods and their characteristics were experimentally observed.
