Abstract

The short-circuit fault currents in the large capacity transmission lines pose a challenge to the stability and safety of power system. Magneto-biased superconducting fault current limiter (MBSFCL) is with the advantages of two-stage current limiting, self-triggering and fast recovery so that it can effectively reduce the short-circuit fault current when applied to the urban power system. This paper analyzes the operation principle of MBSFCL and establishes a package type magneto-thermal coupled simulation model of MBSFCL based on MATLAB/SIMULINK. A power system model of a 66 kV/10 kV Zhang Tai Zi power substation which is in Liaoning province in China has been established and the grid-connected simulation applied MBSFCL has been achieved. Moreover, the grid-connected test is carried out, and the results of fault current, quench resistance and temperature change are obtained. The comparison of results between simulation and test verifies the accuracy of the simulation model and the application feasibility of MBSFCL.
