Fault Current Limiter Dynamic Voltage Restorer (FCL-DVR) With Reduced Number of Components

In this paper, a new dual function fault current limiter-dynamic voltage restorer (FCL-DVR) topology is proposed. The proposed structure, in addition to performing routine FCL tasks, can be used improve the quality of point common coupling (PCC). A salient feature FCL-DVR its reduced number semiconductor switches and gate drive control circuit components. Perhaps, variety structure have been but most distinctive lower power loss. operation modes strategy presented studied. addition, has compared with other structures prove efficiency structure. simulation results as well experimental outcomes from laboratory scaled-down prototype are provided, which feasibility
