The drive for higher reliability has motivated many utilities to move to a more meshed system. Increasing interconnection increases the reliability but on the down side also increases the fault current levels. High fault current levels increase the stresses on the existing circuit breakers, which are expensive to replace. Fault current limiters are used to reduce the fault currents below the ratings of the circuit breakers in order to prevent any permanent damage or malfunction of the circuit breakers. The paper proposes a dual device which not only can limit the fault current, but also can control the power flow through the transmission line in steady state.

To cope with the increasing energy demand, power systems, especially distribution networks, face many challenges. Recently, these networks have become complex and large, and their stability and reliability are not easy to be handled. The integration of renewable energy resources and at the same time limiting their accompanied high fault currents is one of the approvable suggestions. Many solutions have appeared to restrict the fault currents, but fault current limiters (FCLs) arise as an efficient and promising solution to whether to interrupt or limit the fault currents to allowable limits. This paper presents a literature review of the integration of renewable energy resources as distributed generation units (DGs) and FCLs in distribution networks. The DGs can be categorized based on their size and ability to deliver active or reactive power in addition to their fuel. All of solar, wind, water, biomass, geothermal, and fuel cell are utilized as the main engine for these units. Additionally, a survey about FCLs is provided, including their diverse types and applications in either medium- or low-voltage networks. FCLs are divided into reactor, pyrotechnic, non-superconducting (solid state), and the last-developed ones, superconducting FCLs. In addition, the implemented optimization techniques are summarized to correctly employ both FCLs and DGs. These techniques vary between classical and modern, whereas more methods are developed to suit the renewable energy intermittence and uncertainty and the power system operators’ aspirations. Moreover, in this paper, the optimal allocation of diverse types of DGs correlated with FCLs is presented and applied to the real Egyptian distribution network of the East Delta Network (EDN). The results show the avails obtained where the power losses are significantly reduced, with respect to the total load, from 3.59% in the initial case to 0.296%. In addition, the fault current returns to its initial value, removing the percentage of increase of 20.93%.
