Parameter Design Using Probabilistic Methodology For Resistive HTS- FCL

Nowadays, one of the serious problems in KEPCO system is much higher fault current than the SCC(Short Circuit Capacity) of circuit breaker. As the superconductivity technology has developed, the HTS-FCL(High Temperature Superconductor-Fault Current Limiter) can be one of the attractive alternatives to solve the fault current problem. But the parameters of HTS-FCL should be designed optimally to have the best performance. Under this background, this paper presents the optimal design method of parameters for resistive type HTS-FCL using Monte Carlo technique.
