Grid impact analysis of a HTSC cable by using an enhanced conventional simulator

Abstract

Conventional simulators for power system studies do not include the new superconducting (SC) elements in order to perform analysis of their behaviour on the grid, however these simulators allow users to include external functions specifically designed. In this case, a specific library with the corresponding physical model of Very Low Impedance SC cables has been designed and included. This article reports on the developed algorithm and the results obtained by applying it to standard grids including SC cable.
