The Superconducting Fault Current Limiter (SFCL) appears to be a device of great interest to efficiently build the electrical grid of tomorrow. With the recent progress made by the superconducting wires manufacturers, there are needs coming from the industry to evaluate the potential of such devices. In the present thesis work, the behavior under external field and transport current of the last...

Waveforms obtained from a superconducting Fault Current Limiter are investigated using the Prony modelling technique. Comparable measurements with the use of standard tools of spectral analysis (like FFT) fail because of short data available and low levels of higher spectral components. Streszczenie. W pracy przedstawiono wyniki analizy widmowej prądów i napięć zarejestrowanych w obwodach z nad...

Distribution systems across most parts of the globe are highly radial in nature. As loads are gradually increased on a particular distribution system, a higher operating current state leading to increased fault current levels is attained. Hence, the relay co-ordination is disturbed and equipments such as feeders and circuit breakers need to be replaced with higher rating so that they can handle...
