An Optimal Design Approach for Resistive and Inductive Superconducting Fault Current Limiters via MCDM Techniques

The design process of a superconducting current limiter (SFCL) requires simulation and definition of its electrical, magnetic and thermal properties in form of equivalent circuits and mathematical models. However, any change in SFCL parameters: dimension, resistance, and operating temperature can affect the limiting mode, quench time, and restore time. In this paper, following the simulation of...

Selection of Resistive and Inductive Superconductor Fault Current Limiters Location Considering System Transient Stability

Superconductor fault current limiter (SFCL) is an effective device to suppress high fault currents. This paper presents a comparative study of resistive and inductive fault current limiters from transient stability point of view.  Appropriate location and type of the limiters in a HV substation is selected by a qualitative approach based on the equal area criterion. Study system is simulated by...

Design considerations in MgB2-based superconducting coils for use in saturated-core fault current limiters

Saturated-core fault current limiters (FCLs) are devices that have many applications and potential for use within power networks. At a commercial scale, these devices require high H-field magnets to saturate the steel core, which can typically only be achieved through the use of superconducting coils. Here, we present several challenges that arise in the application of superconducting coils in ...
