Abstract
Regarding a dc microgrid integrated with wind, photovoltaic generators, and energy storage, this paper suggests a resistive-type superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) to protect it from short-circuit fault. The modeling and control of the dc microgrid are first stated, and then, the resistive SFCL's impacts on the dc microgrid's fault current and bus voltage sag are analyzed in brief. Using MATLAB, simulations on different SFCL parameters are done, and the results confirm the SFCL's contributions for the dc microgrid include the following. First, the dc fault current is limited quickly and effectively. Second, the bus voltage drop is compensated enough to ensure that the renewable sources achieve the fault ride-through operation. Third, the power transfer efficiency of the dc microgrid under the fault is appropriately enhanced. Finally, the resistive SFCL's conceptual design is done. Not only is the magnetic field/current density distribution of the HTS tape given, but the Ampere Force and ac loss are also estimated. In summary, the feasibility of the resistive SFCL for the dc microgrid is verified.
