Dynamic Simulation of HTSC Cables With a Conventional Simulation Program

Abstract

The recent development, achieved on SC devices for grid applications, requires the support of design tools in order to establish the impact of these new devices on the operation of the electrical system. Classically, standard simulation programs are used in grid design and maintenance by the utilities; but these new devices require user written models, compatible with the grid simulators. In this paper, a user written model for the integration of superconducting cables in the grid, with the capacity to simulate dynamic behavior, is presented. Results of the simulations are presented which refer to the overall grid performance.Index Terms-HTS cable, power system components modeling, power system simulations.

Electrical characteristics and transient analysis of HTS DC power cables for shipboard application

“…Some of them focused on dynamic behavior of HTS cables in terrestrial power grids; whereas, the rest focused on electrical modeling of the HTS cable in a steadystate condition. In [6,7] dynamic model of HTS cable was developed and implemented with the dynamic simulation software and with purpose of stability analysis of power grids with integration of HTS cable. Steady-state electrical model of HTS cable was developed in [8][9] primarily to analyze the response of HTS power transmission cables under fault condition.…”
