The computer simulation for the fault current limiting characteristics of the superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) using the magnetic coupling of two coils was performed. The magnetic fluxes generated from two coils were canceled out during a normal time. However, the resistance generation of high-$T_c$ superconducting (HTSC) element after a fault occurrence keeps up the magnetic fluxes of two coils and contributes to the fault current limiting operation. Through the computer simulation for the fault current limiting characteristics based on its electrical equivalent circuit, its operational current and the limiting impedance could be improved by adjusting the inductance ratio between two coils.

본 논문에서는 두 코일의 직 병렬결합을 이용한 초전도 사고전류제한기의 사고전류제한 특성을 분석하였다. 구조는 병렬 또는 직렬로 연결된 두 코일과 두 코일 중 하나와 직렬 또는 병렬로 연결되는 초전도 소자로 구성된다. 동작원리는 사고전에는 초전도 소자는 초전도 상태에 있어 병렬 또는 직렬로 연결된 두 코일에 의해 발생되는 자속은 서로 상쇄되어 두 코일에 유기되는 전압이 제로를 유지하게 되지만 사고가 발생할 경우 초전도 소자의 저항이 발생되어 두 코일에서 발생되는 자속은 더 이상 상쇄되지 않게 된다. 따라서 두 코일에 전압이 유기되고 이에 따라 사고전류를 제한하게 된다. 단락실험을 통해 두 코일의 직 병렬결합에 따른 사고전류제한 특성을 분석하였으며 분석을 동해 사고전류제한기의 동작전류를 증가시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다.

The study of superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) is continuously being studied as a countermeasure for reducing fault-current in the power system. When the fault occurred in the power system, the fault-current was limited by the generated impedance of SFCLs. The operational characteristics of the flux-offset type SFCL according to turn ratios between the primary and the secondary winding of a reactor were compared in this study. We connected the secondary core to a superconductor and a SCR switch in series in the suggested structure. The fault current in the primary and the secondary winding of the reactor and the voltage of the superconductor on the secondary were measured and compared. The results showed that the fault current in the load line was the lowest and the voltage applied at both ends of the superconductor was also low when the secondary winding of the reactor had lower turn ratio than the primary. It was confirmed based on these results that the turn ratio of the secondary winding of the reactor must be designed to be lower than that of the primary winding to reduce the burden of the superconductor and to lower the fault current. Also, the suggested structure could increase the duration of the limited current by limiting the continuous current after the first half cycle from the fault with the fault current limiter.

The voltage-source inverters (VSI) supplying a motor drive are prone to open transistor faults. To address this issue in fault-tolerant drives applicable to electric vehicles, a new open transistor fault diagnosis (FD) method is presented in this paper. According to the proposed method, in order to define the FD index, the phase angle of the converter output current is estimated by a simple trigonometric function. The proposed FD method is adaptable, simple, capable of detecting multiple open switch faults and robust to load operational variations. Keeping the FD in mind as a mandatory part of the fault tolerant control algorithm, the FD block is applied to a five-phase converter supplying a multiphase fault-tolerant PM motor drive with non-sinusoidal unbalanced current waveforms. To investigate the performance of the FD technique, the fault-tolerant sliding mode control (SMC) of a five-phase brushless direct current (BLDC) motor is developed in this paper with the embedded FD block. Once the theory is explained, experimental waveforms are obtained from a five-phase BLDC motor to show the effectiveness of the proposed FD method. The FD algorithm is implemented on a field programmable gate array (FPGA).

Since it is really hard to construct process models based on prior process knowledges, various statistical approaches have been employed to build fault diagnosis models. However, the crucial drawback of these approaches is that the solutions may vary according to the fault magnitude, even if the same fault occurs. In this study, the parameter monitoring approach is suggested. When a fault occurs in a chemical process, this leads to trigger the change of a process model and the monitoring parameters of process models is able to provide the efficient fault diagnosis model. A few important variables are selected and their predictive models are constructed by partial least square (PLS) method. The Euclidean norms of parameters of PLS models are estimated and a fault diagnosis can be performed as comparing with parameters of PLS models based on normal operational conditions. To improve the monitoring performance, cumulative summation (CUSUM) control chart is employed and the changes of model parameters are recorded to identify the type of an unknown fault. To verify the efficacy of the proposed model, Tennessee Eastman (TE) process is tested and this model can be easily applied to other complex processes.

The introduction of the large transformer due to the large power demand has increased the fault current in power distribution system. The increased fault current can exceed the cut-off ratings of the circuit breaker. As the methods to solve this problem, the superconducting fault current limiter(SFCL) has been notified. However, the limited fault current by SFCL affects the operational characteristics of the protective device such as overcurrent relay. Therefore, the selection of the proper impedance for the SFCL is required to keep overcurrent relay's protective coordination with the SFCL when a large transformer is introduced into the distribution system. In this paper, the SFCL's impedance for protective coordination was investigates in that a large transformer is introduced.

Superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) provides the effect such as enhancement in power system reliability due to limiting fault current in a few miliseconds. The flux-lock type SFCL among various type SFCLs consists of two coils wound on the same iron core and a component using the YBCO thin film. In the SFCL, operation characteristics can be controlled by adjusting the inductances and the winding directions of the coils. In this paper, we investigated the various fault current limiting characteristics according to the voltage level. To analyze the current limiting performance, we compared operational characteristics on the subtractive polarity winding direction on in case of open-loop iron core.

In this paper, we investigated the current limiting characteristic in the magnetic shielding type fault current limiter(MSFCL). The circuit analysis was executed by using finite differential method(FDM). This paper suggests that the current limiting performance can be achieved in two ways (resistive and inductive one), according to design parameter. By comparing current limiting characteristics in two ways and surveying the important parameters which determine the operational way after fault occurs in the design of MSFCL, it is shown that the magnetic shielding type fault current limiter can be operated in either resistive or inductive way.
