Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a Superconducting Fault Current Limiter (SFCL) for suppressing a bus voltage drop in an electric power system. A primary winding, a secondary winding, and a tertiary winding are wound around an identical iron core, and a superconductor is connected to any one of the primary winding and the secondary winding. A first switch is connected to any one of the primary winding and the secondary winding and is configured to be opened so as to separate a faulty section when a fault current is generated and to be shorted when the fault current is eliminated. A second switch is connected in series to the tertiary winding and is configured to be shorted so as to stably supply power when the fault current is generated and to be opened when the fault current is eliminated. According to the present invention, there are advantages in that a fault current is limited using magnetic coupling between two coils that are connected in a non-isolated type (in parallel or in series) or in an isolated type and in that a faulty section is separated using a switch and power is stably supplied to a section, in which a bus voltage drop has occurred due to the fault current, using a tertiary winding and a switch connected thereto, thus improving the stability of the system and obtaining economic effects.
