“…Superconducting fault current limiters (SFCLs) represent one of the most promising types of current limiters and have great application potential. There are several different types of SFCLs: resistive, inductive, hybrid and so on [11,12]. And they have been investigated to be applied to the AC system to limit the fault current level and enhance the system stability [13,14].…”

“…Insights into FCL concepts and technologies can be classified by the principle of operation and key technological components used. Generally, FCLs can be implemented with passive nonlinear elements [20]- [22], inductive devices [23], [24], semiconductor switches [25], [26] and hybrid approaches [10], [27], [28]. The technical feasibility of such FCLs has already been demonstrated with prototypes or scaled down models.…”

“…When it comes to external electrical feature of the FCLs, there are resistive type FCL and inductive type FCL that are proposed previously [18], [20]. Resistive type FCL often uses SC coil to generate variable resistance and limit the fault current [22]. Some typical topologies are shown in Fig.…”

Fast emerging fault current levels in high voltage direct current (HVDC) systems has always been a significant obstacle to building a safer and more reliable grid. Inductive fault current limiters (FCLs), compared with its resistive counterpart, are very effective in restricting the fault rising speed that causes major damage during the whole fault process. In this study, a comprehensive review of the methods used for building inductive type FCLs in HVDC systems is presented. The fault current characteristics of the modern HVDC system is discussed to obtain the basic requirements for the FCL. On the basis of different technological domains, various inductive-type FCL topologies and devices are well categorized and analyzed. After the overall discussion and comparison, representative works, as well as new progress and future prospects, are conveyed in detail. One may find the content of this study helpful as a detailed literature review or a practical technical guidance of this field.

“…As high-power equipment, they effectively reduce the fault current; however, under normal operating conditions, an increase in losses and voltage regulation problems occur. These significant drawbacks have encouraged researchers to find more effective solutions, especially in superconductive and solid-state FCLs, with different types of series compensation [18][19][20].…”

“…The need to reduce the SCC in power distribution systems and the drawbacks in the solutions already in use have fostered the development of FCL technology over the last decade, with solutions of different types and configurations, forcing the publication of the IEEE guide C37.302 [21] for testing FCLs, and the standards C57.16 [22] for series reactors and C37.47 [23] for high-voltage fuses. On the other hand, the solution using FCL equipment would be economically more attractive and effective, but it presents limitations in high-voltage applications since operational experience is lacking [2,24], although there are several successfully tested devices in high voltage [25] and in medium voltage [18]. Therefore, it is urgent to find a different solution that economically and effectively solves this important need in the electrical industry.…”

Active Reduction of Short-Circuit Current in Power Distribution Systems

et al. 2020

In this paper, a new concept of short-circuit current (SCC) reduction for power distribution systems is presented and analyzed. Conventional fault current limiters (FCLs) are connected in series with a circuit breaker (CB) that is required to limit the short-circuit current. Instead, the proposed scheme consisted of the parallel connection of a current-controlled power converter to the same bus intended to reduce the amplitude of the short-circuit current. This power converter was controlled to absorb a percentage of the short-circuit current from the bus to reduce the amplitude of the short-circuit current. The proposed active short-circuit current reduction scheme was implemented with a cascaded H-bridge power converter and tested by simulation in a 13.2 kV industrial power distribution system for three-phase faults, showing the effectiveness of the short-circuit current attenuation in reducing the maximum current requirement in all circuit breakers connected to the same bus. The paper also presents the design characteristics of the power converter and its associated control scheme.
