Abstract
Superconducting fault current limiter (SCFCL) is expected to be the first application of a high-temperature superconductor (HTS) to electric power systems. We have been developing a magnetic shielding type of SCFCL that uses a cylindrical Bi-2223 HTS bulk. Short-circuit fault tests in a small SCFCL model were performed experimentally. A computer program based on the finite element method (FEM) taking the voltage-current (E-J) characteristics of the bulk material into account was developed to analyze the performance in the short-circuit fault tests and to investigate the dynamic electromagnetic behavior within a bulk superconductor. Because the E-J characteristic of HTS bulk depends on temperature and magnetic field, we investigated experimentally the E-J characteristics of a bulk superconductor in various operating temperatures and magnetic fields. The computer program considering the measured E-J characteristics simulated the electromagnetic behaviors in an SCFCL test model successfully.
