The rapid development of large scale power system and the implementation of dispersed generation have led to the increasing level of fault current which may be over the breakers' operating limit threatening the safety of power system.
Due to the increasing demands for electric energy and installation of distributed generation, the rising fault current poses a great threat to those existing power system components.
Due to the increase of electric power consumption and the development of distributed generations (DGs), the short-circuit levels are rapidly rising which may exceed the maximum short-circuit capacity of grid equipment. Fault current limiter (FCL) is one of the most effective methods to limit excess current. Various types of FCLs such as superconducting, solid state, saturated-core and hybrid topologies...
With electric power consumption and distributed generations (DGs) keep growing, fault current levels are rapidly rising. Many approaches to limiting fault currents have been considered. Changing the grid topology or sequential tripping is costly, complex and may affect the stability of grid. On the other hand, uprating of circuit breakers and other equipment can be very expensive [1]. Fault current...
