The fault current levels of an interconnected power network have witnessed a general rise due to increase in power demand. This rise in fault current if not properly mitigated may exceed the maximum ratings of the switchgear. Many conventional protective devices such as series reactors, fuses, high impedance transformers, etc. have high cost, increased power loss and loss of power system stability, which may ultimately cause lower reliability and reduced operational flexibility. Superconducting Fault Current Limiter (SFCL) is a flexible alternative to the use of conventional protective devices, due to its effective ways of reducing fault current within the first cycle of fault current, reduced weight and zero impedance during normal operation. This paper reviews various concepts of SFCLs and its applications in power systems.

Electric power is generated, transmitted, and distributed via large interconnected power systems. The generation of electric power takes place in a power plant. The main objective reduces the operating time of fault current removal from the load line and senses the fault current quickly to overcome its effects. The system is to be made effective and efficient while dealing with the fault situation, fault removal, and restoration of the normal operating conditions at the loading points. The results conclude the effectiveness of the proposed T-ACO-based Optimization control for the operation of the relay in accordance with the fault current limiter and analyzer circuit. The second model of the hybrid system concludes that the system having fault current limiter and analyzer circuit reduces and fault current rise and prevents the voltage from dropping to zero even if no AI-based technique is used and the operating time remains the same. The AI-based techniques further reduce the operating time also thereby making the system more efficient as the voltage is restored to its normal value in a short interval of time when the test system is simulated for 1 second in a MATLAB/SIMULINK environment.
