Discussing the state of the art of current limitation in medium voltage range shows the limits and drawbacks of today's current limiting techniques. Focusing on up-to-date research projects in the field, the major part of this paper explains various kinds of current limitation by means of super conducting materials. The two major principles, resistive and inductive limiters, are introduced as w...

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...

Large-scale electric aircraft is a disruptive technology to address the environmental impact of air travel. Fault current limitation crucial realise safety and reliability aircraft, in particular for large-scale using DC distribution network. This paper investigates behavior resistive SFCL under different cryogenic cooling systems including liquid nitrogen helium gas circulation Electromagnetic...

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...
