With the development of superconducting technology, high temperature superconducting (HTS) tapes can be mass-produced. With the advantages of high current density, zero resistance in superconducting state and high resistance in normal state, HTS tapes can be used to limit and interrupt fault current as a fuse. However, with the superconducting layer to load normal current, the critical current...
With the growing integration of renewable energy sources such as photovoltaics, research on DC systems has been actively performed. DC systems offer superior compatibility with renewable energy sources and lower power transmission losses compared to AC systems. However, it faces critical challenges, such as rapid increase of fault currents directly after a fault occurs and the absence of...
Induction motor starting often causes voltage fluctuations due to high inrush current, which can impact system stability and power quality. To address this, smart inverters with power control functions and superconducting fault current limiters (SFCLs) have emerged as promising solutions for reducing voltage instability. The power control of smart inverters ensures that the voltage at the...
In this paper, we present a 2-D numerical model based on a vector potential method and nonlinear E-J relationship to study the dynamic responses of multiple bulks of high-temperature superconductor(HTSC) levitated above different typical permanent magnetic guideway (PMG). Different from the existing related models and results of this subject, the coupling effects of different bulks are taken...
