A Solid State Current Limiter

چکیده
Abstract Utility engineers faced with the challenges of integrating new generation into existing power systems, clearing faults more quickly or finding an alternative to SF6 breakers will soon have a new product to meet all of their needs: a solid state current limiting circuit breaker. Electric utilities have long wished for a practical, reasonably priced, solid state circuit breaker which could provide very reliable service with little maintenance. Closing can be timed so as to minimize transients. Adding the function of current limiting, also a long-held dream, enhances significantly to the value of the breaker. The largest challenge is to accomplish all this at a price which utilities can accept.

متن کاملMitigation Transformer Inrush Current Using Modified Transient Current Limiter
This study presents a modified transient current limiter (MTCL) for mitigation the inrush current of transformers. The MTCL is based on conventional transient current limiter (TCL), which, its configuration is modified to overcome the TCL drawbacks of operation. The proposed MTCL offers lower power losses and voltage/current THD during normal operation mode. It needs only one limiting reactor i...
متن کاملSolid State Electronic Fault Current Limiter to Limit the Fault Current in Power System
Increase in power generation capacity of electric power systems has lead to increase in the fault current level which can exceed the maximum designed short-circuit ratings of the switchgear. All the equipment therefore must have a short-circuit rating capable to withstand this level. Short-circuit currents contain extremely high energy and can damage electrical equipment. Typically, the circuit...

In this paper, the effect of number and fault current limiter(FCL) location has been investigated in order to have maximum reduction of short circuit current level in all buses in a real network. To do so, the faulty buses were identified in terms of short circuit current level by computing short circuits on the desired network. Then, while the fault current limit was modeled, its optimal locat...
متن کاملSeries Resonance Based Fault Current Limiter with Controlling The Point of Common Coupling Voltage
This paper proposes a novel Fault Current Limiter (FCL) for the application on distribution networks to control voltage sags at the Point of Common Coupling (PCC) during faults. This new FCL is based on series resonance including resonance transformer and series capacitor. So, by proper design of the series resonance LC tank, the fault current is limited to an acceptable level. The FCL operatio...
