The integration regarding various power electronic devices has led to an increase in the complexity of power systems. Limiting the fault currents is crucial for protecting these systems, the augmentation of fault reliability, and the stability. Many Faults Current Limiters (FCLs) were used in power systems because they quickly and effectively fault current limiters. The presented work gives a thorough literature review regarding the use of various FCL types in the power systems. The non-superconducting and superconducting FCL applications have been divided into five categories: (a) application in transmission, distribution and generation networks; (b) applications in the systems of alternating current (AC)/direct current (DC); (c) applications in the integration of renewable sources of energy; (d) applications in the distributed generation (DG); (e) applications for improving stability, reliability, and fault ride through capabilities. With examples of their practical implementation in various nations, impact, modeling, and control approaches of various FCLs in the power systems have been shown. With the alteration of its structures, appropriate control design, and optimal placement recommendations have been given in order to enhance performance regarding FCLs in the power systems. In order to incorporate the continuing research advances in practical systems, industry and researchers working on power system stability concerns can benefit greatly from this study.

“…Using of the superconducting fault current limiters (SFCL) in networks allows drastic decrease of fault currents, enhancing the reliability of the power system and reduce the wear of electrical equipment [1][2][3][4][5]. Currently, efforts aimed at creating SFCL are underway around the world [6][7][8][9][10], with several dozen systems having been developed and currently undergoing trials [11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. The operation of resistive-type SFCL is based on the physical properties of a superconductor: if the current is less than a critical value, the device has zero resistance and has no impact on the operation of the circuit Error!…”

Mathematical model was developed for modeling the increase temperature in high temperature superconducting (HTS) current carrying element in superconducting fault current limiters (SFCL). The variation in the heating up of HTS element along its length is a result primarily of the variation in its resistance that has to do with the manufacturing process employed to make it.The model was developed and mathematical modeling of the process was carried out in the Comsol MultiPhysics software package. Element that was tested was a 12 mm wide stack of three stainless steel tapes and three HTS soldered to each other. In order to get more precise parameters for the models the cross-sectional thermal conductivity was measured for the stacks of HTS of two different types. The estimates obtained using the model were very close to experimental data. The impact was also studied of the spread of the electrical resistance of HTS on how fast the current carrying element made from it heated up.
