Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce in size and cost a current limiting device by employing a superconducting wire made of a ceramic superconducting material as a current limiting wire, and providing a shunt circuit at the time of shifting to a quenching state. CONSTITUTION:A current limiting device DV has a current limiting wire 10 of a superconducting lead made of a ceramic superconducting material, a shunt resistor R for composing a shunt circuit in parallel with the wire G, a shunt circuit breaker 1 for breaking a current flowing to the shunt circuit attached to the downstream side of the resistor R, a shunt current detecting mechanism 2 for detecting a current flowing to the shunt circuit, a line current detecting mechanism 3 of a line 20 attached to the downstream side of the wire G and a line breaker 4. Further, the device DV has a controller 5 which operates the breaker 1 if the shunt current exceeds a predetermined value and operates the breaker 4 when the number of repetition times of conductions and interruptions reaches a designated number of times. The wire G is contained in the tank 10 and cooled. Thus, if a large current flows through the wire 10 due to an accident or the like, it is shifted to a quenching state, it flows to the shunt circuit, and is interrupted.

In general, an electric power system is a system that integrates everything from generation to consumption of electric power, that is, it generates electricity at a power plant, transmits it through transmission lines, and then distributes it to factories and homes using distribution lines, and then distributes it to the load equipment. Electric power transported by transmission lines cannot be suddenly supplied to consumers at the same transmission voltage, so it takes several days before the voltage changes to a level that is convenient for the demand load. have to descend.

In a grid-connected power system, if an accident occurs somewhere along the lines, the effects will immediately spread to the entire region. Therefore, even if an accident occurs, it is extremely important to suppress its effects locally and prevent it from spreading to other areas, from the standpoint of maintenance and safety, as well as from the standpoint of ensuring a constant supply of power.

There are many types of accidents that occur on power transmission lines, but they include abnormal voltage generation due to lightning strikes, and excessive current flowing due to line short circuits and ground faults. For this reason, to protect against abnormal voltages, overhead ground wires or buried ground wires are installed on power transmission lines to protect the lines, and various types of lightning arresters are installed near the entrances or exits of the lines at power plants and substations. When abnormal voltage waves attack, we conduct grounding to guide them to the earth in an effort to prevent dielectric breakdown in electrical facilities. In addition, if a power line is short-circuited or grounded due to disconnection or contact, a strong current will flow to the fault location and burn out the electrical equipment in the circuit, so as a measure to prepare for such an unexpected situation, certain sections of the line A current limiting line may be provided for each area. This is to prevent the effects of an accident from spreading by cutting off the faulty section and cutting off the current by the current-limiting action of the current-limiting wire at the same time that a large current flows through the line.

Of these, apart from electric wires that are normal conductors, superconducting wires made of metal or ceramic superconducting materials have no electrical resistance at all due to their superconducting state and allow current to flow without loss during normal times, but due to large currents in the event of an accident, It is characterized by a transition from a superconductor to a non-superconductor in a short period of time to perform a current limiting action. In other words, if the fault current exceeds the critical current of the superconducting line, which is preset according to the line's allowable current (for example, in the case of the main line of a distribution system line, the voltage is 600 V and the allowable current is 20,000 A, so the critical current is 20,000 A). When this happens, the superconducting phase of the superconducting wire breaks down, transitioning from a superconductor to a non-superconductor in a short period of time, cutting off the large current.

By the way, in general, a superconducting wire made of a ceramic superconducting material exhibits a quench phenomenon in which the superconducting state is destroyed by an excessive current larger than the critical current, and the entire superconductor becomes a normal conductor in a short time. However, when the superconducting wire transitions to the quench state, the superconductor generally exhibits high resistance, and this high resistance generates Joule heat, which may eventually burn out the superconducting wire and make it unusable.

FIG. 1 shows an example of a current limiting device fDV installed on a line 30 of a power system. The current limiting device DV includes a superconducting wire made of ceramic superconducting material, that is, a current limiting line G, and a shunt resistor R1 that constitutes a shunt circuit provided in parallel with the current limiting line G.
A shunt circuit breaker 1 that cuts off the current flowing in the shunt circuit installed downstream of the shunt resistor R, a shunt current detection mechanism 2 that detects the current flowing in the shunt circuit, and a shunt current detection mechanism 2 installed downstream of the pI flow line G. It includes a line current detection mechanism 3 that detects the current flowing through the line 30 and a line breaker 4 that interrupts the current flowing through the line 30. Furthermore, the current limiter DV operates the shunt circuit breaker 1 to interrupt the shunt current if the shunt current detected by the shunt current detection mechanism 2 exceeds a predetermined value (a current value that does not damage the load equipment). In addition, a controller 5 is provided which operates a line breaker 4 to interrupt the line current when the number of repetitions of energization and interruption of the line current detected by the line current detection mechanism 3 reaches a specified number of times. As is clear from the above, the circuit breaker 1 by the controller 5
is activated by the excitation and demagnetization of the coil 6, and by the activation and demagnetization of the circuit breaker 4.
The operation is performed by excitation and demagnetization of the coil 7.The zero branch current detection mechanism 2, the line current detection mechanism 3, and the coil 6.7
The controllers are configured such that the detection signal of the detection mechanism 2.3 is sent to the controller 5, and the control signal for exciting and demagnetizing the coil 6.7 is transmitted from the controller 5 to the coil 6.7. I am contacting 5.

Although the current limiting line G varies depending on the critical temperature of the ceramic superconducting material, in order to maintain a superconducting state, the current limiting line G is housed in a cooling tank IO containing a cooling medium (for example, liquid nitrogen) and is constantly cooled.

Here, since the current-limiting line G is usually placed in a cooling medium in the cooling tank 10, there is no need to provide a waterproof layer on the current-limiting line G to protect the current-limiting line G from water. It is desirable to provide a waterproof layer when using at room temperature without cooling with a medium.

As mentioned above, such a current limiting device DV should be used in a serious manner because if the line is short-circuited or grounded due to disconnection or contact, a strong current will flow to the fault location and cause major damage such as burning out electrical equipment in the circuit. This is to automatically and quickly cut off the current by current limiting and to isolate the faulty section from the healthy circuit. Therefore, the current limiter DV is connected to the line 30
It is installed and used for each fixed section of the road.

In such a current limiting device DV, under normal conditions, the current limiting line G is a superconductor and the electrical resistance is 0, so no Joule heat is generated, so there is no transmission loss. Since the shunt circuit has a resistor R, no current flows through the shunt circuit.

If an abnormality such as a short circuit or ground fault occurs in the line for some reason and a large current flows through the line 30 to the current limiting line G, the current limiting line G shifts from a superconductor to a quench state in a short time, and At the same time as the current stops flowing through the streamline G, the current flows into the shunt circuit. At this time, since the shunt circuit has a resistor R, the current is sufficiently restricted by the resistor R to the extent that problems such as burnout of the load equipment do not occur, and an excessive current does not flow all at once. , a shunt current is detected by the shunt current detection mechanism 2, and when the detected current exceeds a predetermined value that requires the shunt circuit breaker 1 to be shut off, the controller 5 excites the coil 6 to operate the circuit breaker 1, and the shunt circuit breaker 1 is activated. Open the circuit to cut off the shunt current. If the fault that has occurred is removed while the current is being throttled and the current limiting line G returns to the superconductor state, normal current flow from the current limiting line G returns.

If the fault is not removed when the current is interrupted, and the current-limiting wire G returns to the superconductor, the current-limiting current 1sG becomes quenched again due to the excessive current, and the fault is 1! As long as it continues, the current limiting line G will repeat the transition to the superconductor and the quench state. The number of times this is repeated, that is, the energization of the line 30
The number of interruptions is detected by the line ti current detection mechanism 3, and when the number of detections reaches a preset specified number (for example, about two times), the controller 5 excites the coil 6 to operate the circuit breaker l, and the circuit breaker is activated. 1 to an open state to interrupt the shunt current, and at the same time, the current limiting line G is in a quenched state to excite the coil 7 to operate the circuit breaker 4, and to open the circuit breaker 4 to interrupt the line current. Since the current limiting line G is transferred to the superconductor during the accident recovery work, once the accident recovery is completed, the circuit breaker 1.4 is closed by the controller 5 and the line 30 is energized again.

A superconducting wire made of ceramic superconducting material is used as the current limiting wire, and a shunt circuit is provided as a bypass to divert and throttle the current when the current limiting wire transitions from the superconductor to the quench state due to excessive current. During transition to the quench state, the current limiting line will not burn out due to its high resistance characteristics.

In addition, since the shunt circuit is cut off while the current is limited in the shunt circuit, the breaking capacity of the shunt circuit breaker can be reduced, making the circuit breaker smaller and lower in cost, and by extension, the current limiting device itself is also smaller. Moreover, the cost can be reduced.
