Optimal Configuration of Resistive-type Superconducting Fault Current Limiter for Distribution Networks

Resistive-type superconducting fault current limiters (SFCL) have been widely recommended as an idea potential current limiting methods. Recently years, several SFCLs have been installed in demonstration project all around the world. This paper focuses on the optimal configuration of resistive-type SFCL. Considering the limiting and total cost of SFCL, the optimal model of SFCL parameters is established to choose suitable parameters for the target system. Results of this paper are used to guide the design and fabrication of SFCL prototype.
