High Temperature Superconducting Fault Current
Limiters as Enabling Technology in Electrical Grids with
Increased Distributed Generation Penetration
Abstract : Amongst applications of high temperature
superconductors, fault current limiters are foreseen as one of the most
promising in power systems. Several topologies have been developed in
the last years, taking advantage of different superconductors'
properties. Increasing distributed generation (DG) penetration, based on
renewable energy, adds new short-circuit sources to electrical grids,
which brings several energy quality and protection issues.
Superconducting fault current limiters can obviate these problems,
representing thus an enabling technology for DG penetration. In this
paper current limiter topologies are presented, its operations
principles, strengths and weaknesses, in the context of these DG grids.
In the end, future trends are discussed.
