Investigation on the Electrothermal Performance of a High-Temperature Superconducting Cable in an Offshore Wind Farm Integrated Power System: Fault and Islanding Conditions

The main contribution of this article is to study the electrothermal performance a 22.9 kV high-temperature superconducting (HTS) AC cable under transients, such as short-circuit faults and islanding operating mode (IOM) wind farm. For purpose, an HTS connects 12 MVA doubly fed induction generator-based farm load center two different scenarios grid. In first scenario, upstream grid located far from most demanded supplied by farm, while in second part rest near center. case transients grid, protection systems isolate thus, it operates specific mode, called IOM. Results indicated that location especially IOMs, plays significant role cable.
