Current Limiter

The increase in demand for electric power and the insertion of a distributed generation led to the rise of the short-circuit current in substations. Most of these Brazilian substations were designed decades ago, because of that their equipment may not support the new short-circuit current levels. To protect the installed equipment and avoid excessive costs replacing old devices, it is possible to install Fault Current Limiters (FCLs). This document is a report from an R&D project that evaluated FCL topologies considering real parameters in simulation from used equipment, concluding that the selected FCL topologies accomplished their technical objective. However, before implementing these topologies in the distribution system, one should consider the technical and economic feasibility of using semiconductor switching devices.

Technical Solutions

Superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) is an innovative method for reducing the level of short-circuit currents in high-voltage electrical networks. This reduces the number of points of separation of the electrical network in conditions of short-circuit current limitation and thereby increases the network capacity and reliability of power supply to consumers. At the same time, the development of such devices poses new challenges for power engineers related to the integration of this equipment into the existing power system. The article discusses the process of implementation and pilot operation of the SFCT 220 kV pilot project (produced by CJSC “SuperOx”) at the 220/20 kV “Mnevniki” high-voltage substation in Moscow. The project required an extensive set of scientific studies and tests to confirm the characteristics of new devices and the possibility of their use in Russian power systems, the use of digital modeling technologies to test the operability of relay protection devices, as well as the development of new methodological documents for calculating the short-circuit current and relay protection parameters. As a result of the work, SFCT was switched on at the 220/20 kV “Mnevniki” substation at the end of 2019. The subsequent operation of the SFCT in 2019-2020 fully confirmed the declared characteristics of the device and the correctness of the selected technical solutions. The article is devoted to the features of the process of integrating a new device into the existing power system, the main technical solutions, the results of testing and operation of the device, as well as possible prospects for the development of SFCT technology.

Test Result

In order to limit the short-circuit current, and to prevent the power grid and its equipment from the shock of the short circuit, the fault current limiter with detection, trigger and limiting was introduced. A small resistive type superconducting fault current limiter prototype based on MgB2, cooled by liquid helium and heliumgas, was developed and tested by a test system. The test result showed that the prototype based on MgB2 produced superior limiting performance, the short-circuit current suppressing ratio was up to more than 45%, and with the rise of the voltage level, the current limiting capability was also gradually increased, up to 56%.

Current Limiter

Limiting the short-circuit current effectively is of great importance to keep the safe and steady running of the power system. A novel fault current limiter (FCL) on the basis of a high speed switch and a triggered vacuum switch (TVS) is presented. The high speed switch is used to break the short-circuit current of the power system. The TVS is used to discharge the precharged pulse capacitor so as to rapidly extinguish the arc in the high speed switch and to realize the active transfer of the short-circuit current. A resistor is used to limit the short-circuit current. The parameters of the FCL for the 10 kV power system are designed and a FCL apparatus is fabricated. An onsite experiment of the FCL apparatus is performed in an actual transmission line of a substation. The FCL apparatus operates normally and achieves the expected current limiting effect.

The Impact

In this paper, a new type fault current limiter (FCL) topology is put forward for Micro-Grid (MG) system fault, which mainly consists of limiting inductance, bypass inductance and series compensation capacitors. The switching circuit is used to change circuit structure through the power diode bridge and FGCT, in the event of a fault the current limiting inductance is switched to limit short-circuit current. The topology has the advantages of switch quickly, simple control, and series compensation effect. Establishes a equivalent model of MG system with FCL, discusses the impact of FCL installation location to system short-circuit protection, and proposes the installation location program. Matlab is used for system modeling and simulation results show that the effect of the current limiter, which is installed on the outlet of the MG system power for three-phase short-circuit protection, is obvious, and has the function of inhibiting voltage sag.
