Abstract

The main contribution of this paper is to study the electrothermal performance of a 22.9 kV High Temperature Superconducting (HTS) AC cable under transients such as short circuit faults and Islanding Operating Mode (IOM) of a wind farm. For this purpose, an HTS cable connects a 12 MVA doubly-fed induction generator-based wind farm to the load centre, under two different scenarios of the network. In the first scenario, the upstream grid is located far away from the load centre and most of the demanded load is supplied by the wind farm while in the second scenario, part of the load is supplied by the wind farm and the rest is supplied by the upstream grid located near the load centre. In case of faults and transients in upstream grid, protection systems isolate the wind farm and thus it operates in a specific mode, called as IOM. Results indicated that the location of faults and transients especially IOMs play a significant role in the electrothermal performance of HTS cable.
