Design and Prototype Test of a High Leakage Reactance Transformer-Based HTS Controllable Reactor

Abstract:

With the development of high voltage long distance transmission and expansion of the grid, continuous reactive power compensation devices, such as controllable reactor, become more and more important. This paper describes the design and prototype test of a high leakage reactance transformer-based high temperature superconducting controllable reactor (HLRT-HTSCR). Characteristics test results show the excellent impedance regulation characteristic of the prototype. DC critical current test of the superconducting winding shows that attention should be paid to the critical current of superconducting coil, avoiding over-current condition. This paper reveals the characteristics of HLRT-HTSCR by experiment, and will be of important practical significance to promote its development.
