PARALLEL CONNECTED HTS FCL DEVICE

摘要

A superconducting electrical cable system is configured to be included within a utility power grid. The superconducting electrical cable system includes a superconducting electrical path interconnected between a first and a second node within the utility power grid. A non-superconducting electrical path is interconnected between the first and second nodes within the utility power grid. The superconducting electrical path and the non-superconducting electrical path are electrically connected in parallel. The superconducting electrical path has a lower series impedance, when operated below a critical current level, than the non-superconducting electrical path. The superconducting electrical path has a higher series impedance, when operated at or above the critical current level, than the non-superconductor electrical path.
