The series connection type superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) with added third winding, which was magnetically coupled in one iron core, was proposed. The proposed SFCL was expected to be more improved by just adding third winding into the conventional series connection type SFCL with two coils. To analyze the contribution of the third winding for the current limiting and the recovery characteristics of the SFCL, the short-circuit tests for the series connection type SFCL with the added third winding were performed together with the analysis on its electrical equivalent circuit. From the comparative analysis on the amplitude of the limited fault current and the power burden of the high-TC superconducting (HTSC) element comprising this SFCL, the improved current limiting and recovery characteristics of the series connection type SFCL using the third winding could be confirmed.

We fabricated resistive super- conducting fault current limiters (SFCL) based on YBCO thin films grown on a 2" diameter $Al_{2}$O_{3} substrate. The minimum quench current of the current minimum quench current of the current limiting element was about 8 $A_{peak}. This SFCL successfully controlled the fault current below 14.3 $A_{peak} at the voltage of 100$V_{rms}, which is otherwise to increase up to 141$A_{peak}. and the quench completion time is less than 3 msec. The temperature of the current limiting element rose to about 200K in 3 cycles after fault. The SFCL showed reproducible characteristics during hundreds times of repeated experiments.ents.

전력 계통 내에서 발생하는 과도한 고장전류의 억제를 위한 가장 이상적인 방안은 초전도 한류기이다. 초전도 한류기의 전력계통 적용을 위해 본 논문에서는 전력계통 내에서 발생하는 1선, 2선, 3선 지락사고를 모의하여 매트릭스형 초전도 한류기의 동작 특성 및 소비전력을 분석하였다. 모든 지락사고에 대해 매트릭스형 초전도 한류기는 사고 초기에는 85[%] 이상, 1주기 이후에는 95[%] 이상 고장전류를 제한시킬 수 있다는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 초전도 소자간의 임계특성의 차이를 줄여줌으로써 소비전력이 균등해진다는 것을 확인하였다.

We investigated the quench characteristics in integrated three-phase flux-lock type superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL), which consisted of three-phase flux-lock reactor wound on one iron core with the same turn's ratio between coil 1 and coil 2 for each single phase. To study the quench characteristics of the SFCL, the experiments was performed on various fault type such as the single line-to-ground fault, the double line-to-ground fault, the triple line-to-ground fault. From the experimental results, the generated point of element resistances was different on various fault type.

Recently. the high-tc superconducting fault col-rent limiters (SFCL) are studied worldwide to be classified as a resistive type or an inductive type such as a magnetic shielding type and a inductive type. The high-tc SFCL wish an open core belongs to the magnetic shielding type SFCL. Unlike conventional magnetic shielding type SFCLS it uses the open core to reduce the mechanical vibrations and installation space, The high-tc SFCL with an open core was designed and manufactured by stacking three BSCCO 2212 tubes. It was tested in the maximum source voltage of 400 Vrms. The results such as the reduction of fault current and impedance of the SFCL are described in this paper. The results show that the fault current in the source voltage of 400 Vrms was reduced to be about 123 Apeak. about 3.9 times greater than the normal state current. Also, the impedance of the high-tc SFCL was about 9${\Omega}$ about 9 times greater than the normal state impedance. The impedance of the SFCL appears just after the fault, and its size is dependent on the source voltage. From the impedance, the inductance of the SFCL was calculated.

We proposed the bridge type fault current limiter(FCL) using switching operation of high-Tc superconducting(HTSC) thin film. The proposed bridge type FCL consists of HTSC thin film, a diode bridge and a dc reactor. The controller for the operation of an interrupter is required in the conventional bridge type FCL to prevent the continuous increase of fault current after a fault happens. On the other hand, the proposed bridge type FCL can limit the fault current without the interrupter and the controller for its operation by the resistance generated when the gradually increased fault current exceeds HTSC thin film's critical current. We calculated the time when the gradually increased fault current started to be limited by the resistance generated in HTSC thin film after a fault happened and confirmed that it could be dependent on the amplitude of source voltage. The experimental results well agreed with the calculated ones from simulation.

Fault current limiters (FCL) are extensively needed to suppress fault currents, especially for trunk power systems heavily connected to high voltage/large current transmission lines. Due to its ideal electrical behavior, high-temperature superconductor fault current limiter (HTSFCL) becomes one of the most important developing trends of limiters in power system. This paper describes the result of an investigation of the dielectric characteristics of turn-to-turn insulation for pancake and solenoid type reactor coil in liquid nitrogen. The influence of thickness in a variety length, on AC, DC and impulse surface flashover has been investigated. Also, the relationships between the number of turn and breakdown characteristics were clarified. The information gathered in this test series should be helpful in the design of liquid nitrogen filled DC reactor type HTSFCL.

For proper application and operation of a SFCL(Superconducting Fault Current Limiter) in distribution systems, the prior investigation of fundamental characteristics and its effects analysis to the systems are very important. A point of view in coordination with recloser in distribution systems, characteristic about quenching and recovering of SFCL should be studied. Especially, its detailed study of recovery characteristic is particularly important to avoid conflict between the SFCL and the recloser. In this paper, the resistive type SFCL and recloser, which used in distribution system, were implemented using EMTP/ATPDraw and MODELS language. To analyze the recovery characteristics of SFCL according to recloser operation in distribution systems, case studies have been simulated and investigated.

Identification of fault current during the operation of a power semiconductor switch and activation of suitable remedial actions are important for reliable operation of power converters. A short circuit is a basic and severe fault situation in a circuit structure such as voltage source converters. This paper presents a new active protection circuit for fast and precise clamping and safe shutdown of fault currents of the IGBTs. This circuit allows operation of the IGBTs with a higher on-state gate voltage, which can thereby reduce the conduction loss in the device without compromising the short circuit protection characteristics. The operation of the circuit is studied under various conditions, considering variation of temperature, rising rate of fault current, gate voltage value, and protection circuit parameters. An evaluation of the operation of the circuit is made using IGBTs from different to confirm the effectiveness of the protection circuit.

국내의 전력계통은 급격한 산업화와 급속적인 경제발전으로 산업시설 및 대도시 인구 밀집지역의 전력수요가 지속적으로 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 전력 사용량의 증가는 각종 전력설비들의 증설을 필요로 하고 있지만 도심지의 경우는 제한된 공간에 설비 증설의 공간확보에도 큰 어려움을 겪고 있다. 또한, 국내 154[kV]나 345[kV]의 송전계통의 구조는 송전거리가 짧고, 전력공급 신뢰성과 안정도 향상을 위해 서로 네트워크화 되어있다. 이러한 구조는 전력계통 사고발생시 임피던스 감소를 야기시키고 단락사고에 의한 사고 전류의 크기를 점점 증가시키고 있다. 이와 같은 기존방식의 문제들을 효과적으로 해결하기 위한 방안으로 고안된 것이 초전도 한류기이다. 초전도 한류기는 사고 전류에 대한 빠른 동작 및 회복시간과 별도의 사고 감지장치를 불필요하며 신개념의 보호기기이며 환경 친화적인 장점 때문에 국 내외적으로 많은 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다 본 논문에서는 결선방법에 따라 초기사고전류특성, 전류제한특성, 사고각, 인덕턴스 변화에 따른 전류제한 특성을 다각적인 방법으로 분석하였다.
