Abstract

A resistive switching superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) for DC networks with voltage of 3.5 kV and nominal current of 2 kA is developed. The SFCL consists of two series-connected units: block of superconducting modules and high-speed vacuum breaker with total disconnection time not more than 8 ms. The results of laboratory tests of superconducting SFCL modules in current limiting mode are presented. The recovery time of superconductivity is experimentally determined. The possibility of application of SFCL on traction substations of Russian Railways is considered.

A superconducting direct-current limiter with a power of up to 8 MVA

Journal Article Fisher, L.; Akhmetgareev, M.; Budovskii, A.; ... - Physics of Atomic Nuclei

A resistive switching superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) for DC networks with a nominal voltage of 3.5 kV and a nominal current of 2 kA was developed, produced, and tested. The SFCL has two main units—an assembly of superconducting modules and a high-speed vacuum circuit breaker. The assembly of superconducting modules consists of nine (3 × 3) parallel–series connected modules. Each module contains four parallel-connected 2G high-temperature superconducting (HTS) tapes. The results of SFCL tests in the short-circuit emulation mode with a maximum current rise rate of 1300 A/ms are presented. The SFCL is capable of limiting the current atmore »« less

Application of active quenching of second generation wire for current limiting

Journal Article Solovyov, Vyacheslav; Li, Qiang - Physica. C, Superconductivity

Superconducting fault current limiters (SFCL's) are increasingly implemented in the power grid as a protection of substation equipment from fault currents. Resistive SFCL's are compact and light, however they are passively triggered and thus may not be sufficiently sensitive to respond to faults in the distribution grid. Here, we explore the prospect of adding an active management feature to a traditional resistive SFCL. A flexible radio-frequency coil, which is an integral part of the switching structure, acts as a triggering device. We show that the application of a short, 10 ms, burst of ac magnetic field during the fault triggersmore »« less

High frequency transient electromagnetic interference (EMI) caused by faults, lightning, and switching on high voltage circuits in substations is characterized and quantified using a mobile four-channel transient EMI measurements system and validated traveling wave transient analysis models. More than 800 waveforms of high voltage switching transients and staged-faults were measured in air- and gas-insulated substations and used to validate a system of interrelated substation interference coupling models. The highest transient EMI levels expected from initial conditions of 2PU (Per Unit) disconnect switching, a 2PU circuit breaker fault, and a 10 kA lightning strike inside substations through 500 kV are calculatedmore »« less
