Determining the location of superconducting fault current limiter considering distribution reliability

摘要: As electric power demand of customers is constantly increasing, more bulk systems are needed for installation in a network. The amount distributed resources has increased considerably distribution networks by meeting the renewable energies, highly efficient facilities and deregulated electricity market. These have become complex as mesh network improving system reliability flexibility operation. This increasing complexity resulted an increase fault currents that exceed circuit breaker capacity. In order to solve this problem, replacing breaker, changing operation mode rectifying transformer parameters can be taken into account. However, superconducting current limiter (SFCL) economically one most promising apparatus. study proposes methodology determining location SFCL considering reduction device type improvement customer according connected with generation (DG). With case studies on method applied radial network, respectively, authors prove proposed feasible.
