Large offshore wind farms will be important players within the future energy landscape. What is the expected benefit for a project is an essential issue from Investor side, considering both technical and economic aspects. Levelized Cost Of Energy - LCOE - is a standard economic indicator which allows to assess the economic viability of a project.

Mainly used in AC grids, resistive type superconducting fault current limiters may be still more interesting for DC systems due to their capability to reduce high short circuit currents appearing in case of DC cable fault. This limiter reduces the breaking capability, speed, and energy requirements of the required DC circuit breaker allowing the implementation of electro mechanical breakers for fault current interruption. These breakers have lower breaking capability, on load losses, and investment costs in comparison with hybrid circuit breakers based on power electronics. This paper presents a technical and economic analysis of a superconducting fault current limiter used in a radial three terminal high voltage DC grid to protect a cable link. Based on simulation studies using an electro magnetic transient program, an effective system protection will be demonstrated with special attention to the continuity of power flow through healthy parts of the grid.
