Investigation of the Feasibility of a Superconducting Self-Healing DC Grid on a LNG Carrier

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to investigate the implementation of superconducting (SC) Direct Current Power Distribution on the power grid of a LNG Carrier. In the first part of the paper, the state of the art in High Temperature Superconductor technology is reviewed and an analytical approach of Superconducting DC Power Distribution on a power system is provided. In the second part, a simulation of a SC distribution line is performed during the transmission from superconducting to normal state regarding power losses and the operation of the line as a fault current limiter.
