چکیده
This paper presents the analysis, design, construction and ac test results of low voltage single-phase resistive superconductor electrical current limiters. Two different types of resistive superconductor current limiter are presented: the first one is built with three concentric, cylindrical and helicoidal coils connected in parallel and the second one is built with two superposed cylindrical helicoidal coils connected in series and in opposite magnetic polarities. Both are built using the GEC Alstom CuNi matrix superconductor type C wire for ac applications, wound on G-10 tubes and the final assembly is mechanically arranged and immersed in a cryostat filled with liquid helium at 4K. The superconductor material in this wire is the NbTi alloy.

متن کاملEnhancement of Multi-machine Power System Transient Stability Using Superconducting Fault Current Limiters with YBCO and Bi-2212
One of the worst types of fault that a power system should be designed to withstand is a short circuit. Within the various types of fault current limiters, the superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) has an extremely fast current limitation. The rapid switching action and the self-sensing nature of the superconductor make SFCLs particularly attractive in fault protection. This very fast ti...
متن کاملA New Method to Enhance the Low Voltage Ride Through Capability of Doubly Fed Induction Generator Using Resistive Type Superconducting Fault Current Limiter
In the event of voltage sag at the nearing of a wind park, severe currents may pass through the power electronic devices of the Doubly Fed Induction Generators (DFIGs). Hence, according to the Low Voltage Ride Through (LVRT) requirements, the wind parks are allowed to disconnect from the network after a certain time. Therefore, to avoid such actions, the LVRT requirement of wind parks is consid...
