As one of the solution of the increase problem of the fault current in a power system, the superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) has been noticed as the attractive device because it has no power loss in a normal time and can limit the fault current rapidly without additional device to detect the fault current. However, the introduction of the SFCL in a power distribution system affects t...

The Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) is getting wider popularity due to its ability to adapt with variable wind speed and to capture more wind energy. Though DFIG has a salient feature of the fault ride through capability, this is not sufficient to preserve the necessity of the grid code when the DFIG system is connected with the grid. To accomplish this goal, a DC resistive superconductin...

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...

Experiments are underway on the Alcator C Tokamak with over 1 MW of RF power injected into the plasma at a frequency of 4.6 GHz to study both heating and current drive effects. During these studies, impurity generation from limiter structures has been observed. The RF induced impurity influx is a strongly nonlinear function of net injected power. For Prf < 500 kW, only small effects are seen. A...

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...

This paper presents the design of a Superconducting Fault Current Limiter (SFCL) and calculation results forces stresses in windings resistive fault current limiter. The limiter consists two parallelly connected magnetically coupled windings, cooled by single stage cryocooler. Magnetically compensated made HTS tape give very low voltage on at nominal current. Limitation short-circuit time value...

In this paper we develop a new limiter for linear reconstruction on non-coordinatealigned meshes in two space dimensions, with focus on Cartesian embedded boundary grids. Our limiter is inherently two-dimensional and linearity preserving. It separately limits the x and y components of the gradient, as opposed to a scalar limiter which limits all components simultaneously with one scalar. The li...

A water surface slope limiting scheme is tested and compared with the water depth slope limiter for the solution of one dimensional shallow water equations with bottom slope source term. Numerical schemes based on the total variation diminishing RungeKutta discontinuous Galerkin finite element method with slope limiter schemes based on water surface slope and water depth are used to solve one-d...
