Series Resonance Based Fault Current Limiter with Controlling The Point of Common Coupling Voltage
Authors
Abstract:
This paper proposes a novel Fault Current Limiter (FCL) for the application on distribution networks to control voltage sags at the Point of Common Coupling (PCC) during faults. This new FCL is based on series resonance including resonance transformer and series capacitor. So, by proper design of the series resonance LC tank, the fault current is limited to an acceptable level. The FCL operation is simulated using MATLAB software. In order to confirm the simulation results, a prototype structure is built and its measurement results are in agreement with the simulation results. The simulated and experimental results show that it is feasible to develop the FCL with low cost and high reliability.

full textSolid State Electronic Fault Current Limiter to Limit the Fault Current in Power System
Increase in power generation capacity of electric power systems has lead to increase in the fault current level which can exceed the maximum designed short-circuit ratings of the switchgear. All the equipment therefore must have a short-circuit rating capable to withstand this level. Short-circuit currents contain extremely high energy and can damage electrical equipment. Typically, the circuit...
