Abstract
The Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) HTS power cable has been successfully installed and operated for feasible confirmation since 2006 at Gochang power test center. The 3-phase 100 m long HTS power cable with 22.9 kV/1.25 kA was manufactured and cooled by subcooled liquid nitrogen. At the beginning stage, the cooling system was composed of a liquid nitrogen decompression cooling unit. No major fault has been observed during long term operating test. As a next step, cooling system was modified that a cryocooler was employed, resulting in the total cooling capacity of 4 kW at liquid nitrogen temperature. In this paper, the progress on the performance test of HTS power cable is reported. Temperature as well as pressure in the system is discussed with respect to the supplied current levels. Also, the installation of hybrid cooling system for real power grid application is described.
