The Impact of Superconducting Cables in Power Transmission Systems- a Case Study in Turkey

Abstract

Power systems encounter multiple problems during planning, operating and analyzing processes. Superconducting technologies can be the solution for some of these problems. In this study usage of superconducting cables in the Turkey transmission system are simulated to see the affects. One base and two different cases are discussed. Power flow analysis and voltage stability analysis are done for the real Turkish 22 bus system. The voltage stability is analyzed by using the loading factor. The results show the decrease in losses and the increase of the system's capacity. The amount of CO2 emission is also presented. This study is a rough analyze but a precursor for further studies which will also contain an economical analyze considering the cooling costs and new topology of system.
