This paper proposes the possible effect on the reduction of fault current and its protective coordination for upcoming smart grid. Fault levels in electrical distribution system are rising due to the increasing presence of distributed generation, and this rising trend is expected to continue in the future. Superconducting fault current limiter is a promising electrical equipment to reduce the e...

This paper shows a solution for controlling shortcircuit currents of a power electronic based Fault Current Limiter (FCL). A model for control design of three-phase short-circuit currents will be presented. A way of limiting the maximum aperiodic short-circuit current is derived with special regards to the stability of the entire system. Control designs of singleand two-phase shortcircuit curre...
