Superconducting Fault Current Limiters for the Power System Application

As load demand increases day by day, new generating facilities are introduced. Power System face many problems related to safety, reliability due to the occurrence of short circuit fault current. To prevent power grid from fault currents Superconducting Fault current limiter is introduced. This paper provides the way to design SFCL in power grid which is based on the principle of superconductivity which totally loses its resistance to fault current below specific critical temperature. In this paper resistive type SFCL is studied for matlab simulation.
