Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
'The project aims at developing a unique device for electricity networks: A superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) based on coated conductor YBCO tape (cc-tape) or 2nd Generation HTS tape. The general trend in Europe to a higher meshing of distribution networks and the rapid growing integration of renewable energy sources leads to an increase of the fault current level by every new installation. As substations ratings are coming to their limits network operators have to either decline additional installations to their grids or to upgrade if not rebuild complete substations. The SFCL provides a solution to deal with the increasing incidence and level of fault currents and will contribute to improving the performance, stability and efficiency of electricity grids. It can be applied as a new tool for grid operation and will enhance the flexibility for further grid planning. SFCL are considered to be the most attractive superconducting devices as they offer unparalleled features compared to conventional techniques such as automatic ultrafast and effective current limitation, no external trigger (fail safe), rapid self recovery and negligible impedance during operation. In contrast to conventional solutions resistive type SFCL are also suitable for higher voltage levels. So far developed SFCL prototypes based on BSCCO material are exhibiting significant AC-losses at higher currents which oppose their commercial introduction. Today, the availability of cc-tape in longer lengths at reasonable cost makes a commercial breakthrough of FCL possible with unique features such as compactness, short recovery-time, low AC-losses. Leading industrial and academic institutions from Europe have teamed up to design, build, and test the first full 3-phase cc-tape FCL worldwide. The device will be long term tested or even permanently installed in the medium voltage grid. The strong demand for this device is emphasized by the large number of electric utilities participating as partner'
Introduzione (Teaser)
Fault currents resulting from short circuits can damage electricity networks. Novel superconducting fault protection that simply reduces high-fault currents to manageable levels promises to keep the power on.
