Multicell Fault Current Limiter

IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics, 2014
A multicell fault current limiter (MCFCL) is proposed in this paper. The MCFCL is composed of multiple fault current limiting cells. Each fault current limiting cell consists of a fault current limiting inductor and a power electronic module. The proposed MCFCL has the flexibility in expanding the operation voltage by increasing the number of fault ...

IGBT Fault Current Limiting Circuit

IEEE Industry Applications Magazine, 1995
Circuits are proposed which, by limiting the fault current magnitude, extends the short-circuit withstand time of high-efficiency (high-gain) IGBTs (insulated-gate bipolar transistors). Limiting of the fault current magnitude also results in reduced turn-off voltage transients, a desirable byproduct, especially for higher current modules. Moreover, the

Nonsuperconducting Fault Current Limiter With Controlling the Magnitudes of Fault Currents

IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics, 2009
In this paper, a diode-bridge-type nonsuperconductor fault current limiter (NSFCL) is proposed. The structure has the capability of controlling the DC reactor current that yields to control the magnitude of fault current. In order to control the magnitude of DC reactor current, a discharging resistor is used in the proposed structure.

Fault Current Limitation Coordination in Electric Power Grid With Superconducting Fault Current Limiters

IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity, 2018
This paper proposes the concept of “fault current limitation coordination” in a future electric power grid with multiple superconducting fault current limiters (SFCL). Not only the fault current limitation of each SFCL on a transmission line, but also the transient stability of the grid with SFCLs should be taken into account, because the disturbance ...

Comparison between resistive and inductive superconducting fault current limiters for fault current limiting

2012 Seventh International Conference on Computer Engineering & Systems (ICCES), 2012
Superconducting fault current limiters (SFCLs) are used to limit the short-circuit current level in electrical transmission and distribution networks. Applications of SFCLs would not only decrease the stress on network devices, but also can offer a connection to improve the reliability of power system.

Superconducting fault current limiters

IEE Colloquium on High Tc Superconducting Materials as `Magnets', 1995
Fault current limiters (FCLs), superconducting or otherwise, have the potential to reduce fault levels on electricity power networks, and may ultimately lead to lower rated components (i.e. cheaper) being used, or to increased capacity on existing systems.

A superconducting fault-current limiter

Journal of Applied Physics, 1978
A conceptual design is presented for a fault-current limiter for the electrical power utilities which utilizes a superconducting element to commutate the fault current into a shunt resistor. The technical feasibility of the concept is supported by a computer simulation of the switching.

Superconducting fault current limiters

IEEE Power Engineering Review, 2000
Events in the power utility industry, such as deregulation, demands for better power quality and reliability, the advent of high temperature superconductivity, and the push to use technology to realize greater profits, have renewed interest in fault current limiters (FCL).
