This paper proposes a parallel-resonance bridge type fault current limiter (PRBFCL) to augment the transient stability of a hybrid power system consisting of a photovoltaic (PV) power generation source, a doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind energy system, and a synchronous generator (SG). The PRBFCL is designed such a way that it can provide sufficient damping characteristics to th...

Superconducting fault current limiters (SFCL) can be an alternative to conventional devices limiting short-circuit currents in power systems. SFCL use high-temperature superconducting tapes of the second generation (HTS 2G) SFCL, which, after reaching characteristic critical tape, go into resistive state (quenching), current. The determines moment activation SFCL. Therefore, its value should no...

A lecture on current limiter intended specifically for engineering students pursuing specialization with Electrical and Electronics engineering is proposed in this paper. The important information which doesn’t appear in text books are presented to the students. A general overview of different techniques of limiting fault current in electric power systems with special emphasis on two types of c...

This paper proposes a novel combined device for fault current limiting and dynamic voltage restoring. It consists of a diode bridge superconducting fault current limiter and a dynamic voltage restorer, which both connected together via a common dc link. Interline FCL-DVR system is interlined between two different feeders that connected to a point of common coupling (PCC) in distribution network...

This paper presents the design of a Superconducting Fault Current Limiter (SFCL) and calculation results forces stresses in windings resistive fault current limiter. The limiter consists two parallelly connected magnetically coupled windings, cooled by single stage cryocooler. Magnetically compensated made HTS tape give very low voltage on at nominal current. Limitation short-circuit time value...

In this paper, short circuit analysis, based on the electromagnetic transient program (EMTP), has been used to investigate the behavior of the DC reactor type FCL installed in an electrical distribution grid. System studies show that the DC reactor type FCL can not only limit the fault current to an acceptable value, but also can mitigate the voltage sag. A DC reactor type fault current limiter...
