Performance Evaluation of Superconducting Fault Current Limiter

This paper is showing performance of Superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) which have ability to reduce severe fault current effectively and quickly. With the increasing population the consumption of electrical power is also increased widely so thus the probability of occurrence of fault in system also increases because of which a very high current flows through the system which is responsible for the generation of large mechanical forces which may affect the mechanical integration of the power system hardware, transformer and other related equipment which may get overheated due to this large current and every time it is not possible to change the parameters as per fault current. It is working as like as stabilizer but more efficient than that. The SFCL which is used here have capability of reducing the fault current within the first cycle which increases the transient stability of the power system. This paper focuses on the faults in the power system due to overcurrent i.e L-G,L-L-G and L-L-L-G.SFCLs are continuously studied to reduce the power burden of circuit breaker.
