Abstract
Superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) can overcome fluctuations in frequency because of its fast response time in charging and discharging energy. To stabilize the fluctuations in frequency of wind power generation systems (WPGSs), HTS SMES systems should be connected to the terminal of the WPGSs. Ulleung Island's power network in Korea was modeled with a real-time digital simulator (RTDS) to demonstrate the effectiveness of SMES at stabilizing frequency. A toroid-type HTS SMES cooled by conduction cooling and a DC/DC chopper to charge and discharge current were fabricated for the experiment. The simulation results show the frequency stabilization effected by the HTS SMES system with its operational characteristics such as real time variation in current and temperature.
