Comparison of resistive and inductive superconductor fault current limiters in AC and DC micro-grids
Superconducting Fault Current Limiters (SFCL) have been used in power systems for many years, however the best possible positioning of different SFCL still needs a lot of work. Resistive and Inductive are two types of SFCL used in power system. Function of both these current limiters is to control t...

description |
Superconducting Fault Current Limiters (SFCL) have been used in power systems for many years, however the best possible positioning of different SFCL still needs a lot of work. Resistive and Inductive are two types of SFCL used in power system. Function of both these current limiters is to control the fluctuations and abnormalities in the system by introducing a high impedance in it, through transforming itself from normal stage to superconducting stage. In this research, placement of resistive SFCL and inductive SFCL in AC and DC microgrids (MG) are analyses at two different positions; at the point of integration of conventional source and distributed generator (DG) and at the point where DG is added to the system. The AC and DC microgrids contains industrial and residential loads, while they use respective main wind power generation source and photo voltaic power source along with conventional power, supplied from main grid. The behavior of both types of SFCL in their grid models is analyzed through MatLab Simulations, in order to compare their effectiveness and determine best possible position to place them. |
