- Abstract
- Recently, the development of the electric power industry has led to an increase in the fault current when a fault occurs. It is important to reduce the fault current, since fault currents exceeding the capacity of protective devices can result in large blackouts. In order to reduce the fault current, there is a method to separate the bus line of main substation. However, this method has the disadvantage of complicating the power system. Another method is to install a superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL). The SFCL has the advantage that the fault current can be quickly limited within 1/4 cycle immediately after the fault occurrence without affecting the power system since its impedance is zero in a normal time. However, the application of SFCL affects the operation of the over-current relay (OCR) due to the reduced fault current such as trip time delay. The trip time delay of OCR was reported to be suppressed by using SFCL's voltage component in previous studies. In this paper, the impedance compensation method was suggested to exclude the effect of SFCL on OCR. To prevent OCR from the influence of SFCL, the component that can exclude the impedance of SFCL was considered to be added to the characteristic formula of OCR. In addition, the effect of correcting this characteristic equation was analyzed by constructing a power distribution system using PSCAD / EMTDC. IEEE
