This paper discusses the effects of CD type superconducting cable operation in 22.9kV multi neutral grounded distribution system during L-G fault and counterplans to power system protection. In case of using the 3-phase CD-type superconducting cable, the inductance of superconducting cable system would be decreased due to the current of shield part of superconducting cable, which is opposite direction and nearly equal value with respect to main superconductor. However, when the shield circuit system is operated in shorted state, shield current decreases faulted ground current and give effects to power system protection scheme. This study examines the phenomena of single line to ground fault case in above mentioned system using the EMTDC program and discusses the right operation method of superconducting shield.

Superconducting transmission power cable is one of interesting parts in power application using high temperature superconducting wire. One of important parameters in high-temperature superconducting (HTSC) cable design is transport current distribution because it is related with current transmission capacity and ac loss. In this paper, the transport current and magnetic field distributions at conducting layers were investigated through the analysis of the equivalent circuit for HTSC power cable with shield layer. The transport current distribution due to the pitch length and winding direction was improved in case of HTSC power cable with shield layer.

The inductance difference between conducting layers of high-Tc superconducting (HTSC) power transmission cable causes the current sharing of each conducting layer to be unequal, which decreases the current transmission capacity of HTSC power cable. Therefore, the design for even current sharing in HTSC power transmission cable is required. In this paper, we investigated the current distribution of HTSC power cable with a shield layer dependent on the pitch length and the winding direction of each layer. To analyze the effect of the shield layer on the current sharing of the conducting layers of HTSC power cable, the current distribution of HTSC power cable without a shield layer was compared with the case of HTSC power cable with a shield layer. It could be found through the analysis from the computer simulations that the shield layer of HTSC power cable could be contributed to the improvement of current distribution of conducting layers at the specific pitch length and the winding direction of conducting layer. The result and discussion for the current distribution calculated for HTSC power transmission cable with a shield layer were presented and compared with the cable without a shield layer.

Multiply-twist cable is used for a large capacity superconducting cable because it is helpful to reduce AC losses and to increase transport current. In a multiply-twisted cable, the axis of a strand does not coincide with that of cable. Therefore, the longitudinal field is generated by the transport current. The longitudinal field changes the current distribution in the strand and generates additional AC loss. This paper calculates the longitudinal field that is applied to a strand in the multiply-twisted cable. Current distribution of a strand in the cable is also presented. 2nd level superconducting cable is chosen as an analysis model, whose current capacity is 2000A. Calculation result shows the longitudinal field cannot be neglected in low field machines such as superconducting transformer.

As electric power transmission systems grow to supply the increasing electric power demand, transmission capacity is larger. but that's really difficult to secure the location for power transmission and distribution to user. The high temperature superconducting(HTS) cable is a method to solve this problem. But for applying to real systems, it needs to investigate the effect of HTS cable. The most important things is the investigation of fault condition. the fault on HTS cable include the quench state. When a fault occur in a circuit, three critical parameters(temperature, current density, magnetic field) exist. when one of these parameters exceeds the critical value, the superconducting becomes normal-conducting. f the cooling power is insufficient to recover the superconducting state, the normal-conducting zone expands. In order to solve these problem, this paper present simulate the quench state considering the over-current and over-voltage in the informal circuit and analyze the quench state.

In Korea, 22.9kV 50MVA HTS (High Temperature Superconducting) cables and 630A/3kA hybrid SFCLs (Superconducting Fault Current Limiters) have been or are being developed by LS Cable, LS Industrial System, and Korea Electric Power Research Institute. They will be installed at Icheon 154kV Substation for real-power-distribution-system operation in 2010. This paper proposes specification of current limiting resistor/reactor for the SFCL and fault current condition of the HTS cable for applying the superconducting devices to Korean power distribution system, from the viewpoint of power system protection.

A superconducting multistranded cable is used to realize high current capacity for AC use. The critical current value of the cable to be less than the simple summation of individual critical current value of each strand. The causes for such a degradation of the critical current value have not been revealed. This paper investigates the current distribution in multistrands before and after their quenching by using 7-strand superconducting cable. The following experimental results are derived. (1)The quenching is initiated at one strand in the cable, (2)The current in the quenched strand is transferred into the other strands, (3) An avalanche of quenching is induced among the strands, (4)The central strand is quenched finally among the strands.
