Abstract

High current levels caused by failures in power systems, comprise danger to the system and its elements. Limiting these fault currents protects the system and the system components from challenging thermal and dynamic effects. Many studies have been carried out to limit the fault currents. The common purpose of these studies are to ensure the safety and reliability of the system. The increasing usage of electrical energy leads to the continuous expansion and complexity of power systems. Therefore, fault current limiters are becoming increasingly important in continuously developing power systems. Operation continuity can be ensured by means of fault current limiters without making any changes in the existing system. Like many power system components, fault current limiters are modeled in virtual environments before they are used in the real system, and their operating performance and necessary parameters are determined. For this purpose, different effects on system parameters have been investigated in a 14-bus IEEE system using different SIMULINK superconductor fault current limiter (SFCL) models.
