“…Generally, superconducting fault current limiters have been extensively used in power systems. However, non-superconducting fault current limiters could play an important role in reducing fault current and improving the dynamic stability of power systems with minimal cost compared to superconducting fault current limiters [10,34,97]. There are several types of non-superconducting fault current limiters as follows.…”

“…However, when fault occurs in the system, fault current is contributed to the fault point from all the interconnected parts which restrict interconnection to a certain extent so that the fault current could be kept within the breaking capability of the circuit breakers. Another feasible way is to employ fault current limiters in order to enhance reliability and stability of the interconnected power systems [19,33,34,54,104,[128][129][130][131][132][133][134][135][136][137][138][139][140][141][142][143][144]. Implementation of SFCLs has been reported [145,146] for limiting fault current as well as improving stability of active distribution network by reducing impact on circuit breaker.…”

Power systems are becoming more and more complex in nature due to the integration of several power electronic devices. Protection of such systems and augmentation of reliability as well as stability highly depend on limiting the fault currents. Several fault current limiters (FCLs) have been applied in power systems as they provide rapid and efficient fault current limitation. This paper presents a comprehensive literature review of the application of different types of FCLs in power systems. Applications of superconducting and non-superconducting FCLs are categorized as: (1) application in generation, transmission and distribution networks; (2) application in alternating current (AC)/direct current (DC) systems; (3) application in renewable energy resources integration; (4) application in distributed generation (DG); and (5) application for reliability, stability and fault ride through capability enhancement. Modeling, impact and control strategies of several FCLs in power systems are presented with practical implementation cases in different countries. Recommendations are provided to improve the performance of the FCLs in power systems with modification of its structures, optimal placement and proper control design. This review paper will be a good foundation for researchers working in power system stability issues and for industry to implement the ongoing research advancement in real systems.

“…In some cases it is suffered by unbalanced fault conditions occurring in the transmission or distribution lines leading to reduced reliability. Such types of faulty conditions are solved by using bridge type Fault Current Limiter (FCL) with a discharging resistor [16,17,18]. In this method the squirrel cage induction generator is equipped with the Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS).…”

This paper investigates the operation of a Fixed-Speed Induction Generator (FSIG) wind farm by connecting it with a STATCOM to control the positive and the negative-sequence voltage in case of any faults in the grid and relates the effect of wind turbine behaviour. The positive and the negative sequence voltage lead to either an increase in the voltage stability of the wind farm or reduction of torque ripple which further increases the lifetime of the generator driver train. It also proposes a multiloop controller using posicast and P+Resonant controllers to improve the transient response thereby eliminating the steady-state error in STATCOM response. It also handles the disturbances in load voltage and the three-phase circuit fault caused by FSIG wind farm, limits the downstream fault current to restore the Point of Common Coupling (PCC) voltage and protects the wind farm from other disturbances.

Summary According to the recent grid codes, wind turbine systems (WTSs) are required to stay connected to the grid during grid faults and provide reactive power to support the grid. Therefore, this paper proposes a noncontrolled fault current limiter (NCFCL) with reactive power support for transient stability improvement of DFIG‐based WTSs under grid faults. The proposed NCFCL is based on a nonsuperconducting reactor located in the rotor side. The NCFCL considerably limits the rotor and stator overcurrents and improves the transient stability of the doubly fed induction generator (DIFG). In addition, the proposed strategy reduces DC‐link overvoltage and electromagnetic torque oscillations and also provides reactive power to the grid to support the grid voltage recovery. In this way, the fault ride‐through (FRT) requirements of the latest grid codes can be fulfilled without affecting the DFIG stability in normal operation. Simulation studies using MATLAB/Simulink‐2019a are performed on a 2‐MW DFIG‐based WTS to confirm the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed FRT strategy. Simulation results reveal that the proposed strategy provides better performance compared to the crowbar protection to improve the FRT capability.
