Doubly fed induction generators (DFIGs) are vulnerable to grid related electrical faults. Standards require DFIGs to be disconnected from the grid unless augmented with a fault ride through (FRT) capability.

A novel air core electromagnetic fault current limiter with rotational motion
The authors deal with design and analysis of an air‐core electromagnetic fault current limiter (FCL) with rotary motion. The proposed device is characterised by a simple structure, fast operating speed and reversible operation. It consists of two movable

Fault ride-through enhancement of fixed speed wind turbine using bridge-type fault current limiter
The interaction between wind energy turbines and the grid results in two main problems, increasing the short-circuit level and reducing the Fault Ride-Through (FRT) capability during faults.

Superconducting fault current limiter application in a power-dense marine electrical system [PDF]
Power-dense, low-voltage marine electrical systems have the potential for extremely high fault currents. Superconducting fault current limiters (SFCLs) have been of interest for many years and offer an effective method for reducing fault currents.

A practical study of the 66‐kV fault current limiter (FCL) system with rectifier
AbstractA fault current limiter (FCL) is extensively expected to suppress fault current, particularly required for a trunk power system's heavily connected high‐voltage transmission lines, such as the 500‐kV‐class power system which constitutes the nucleus of the electric power system.

Investigation of the Operation of Active Superconducting Fault Current Limiters in Distribution Networks Connected to Microgrids [PDF]
Increasing the penetration level of distributed generation (DG) units in radial power distribution systems can increase the short-circuit level in these networks, which can, in turn, have destructive effects such as exceeding the tolerable current of the
