The installation of Fault Current Limiter (FCL) brings many advantages to power systems. Therefore, in recent years, many kinds of FCL have been developed. This paper describes a new type of FCL, it’s composed by a tandem resistance and a self rectified voltage source inverter, connected to the distribution line by a coupling transformer. It realizes the limiting by controlling the reactive power. Its prominent features are: simple configuration, lower voltage level. This paper aims to evaluate the operating characteristics of such FCL in both simulation and experimental research ways.

This paper proposes a non-superconducting bridge-type fault current limiter (BFCL) as a potential solution to the fault problems of doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) integrated voltage source converter high-voltage DC (VSC-HVDC) transmission systems. As the VSC-HVDC and DFIG systems are vulnerable to AC/DC faults, a BFCL controller is developed to insert sizeable impedance during the inception of system disturbances. In the proposed control scheme, constant capacitor voltage is maintained by the stator VSC (SVSC) controller, while current extraction or injection is achieved by rotor VSC (RVSC) controller. Current control mode-based active and reactive power controllers for an HVDC system are developed. Balanced and different unbalanced faults are applied in the system to show the effectiveness of the proposed BFCL solution. A DFIG wind-based VSC-HVDC system, BFCL, and their controllers are implemented in a real time digital simulator (RTDS). The performance of the proposed BFCL control strategy in DFIG-based VSC-HVDC system is compared with a series dynamic braking resistor (SDBR). Comparative RTDS implementation results show that the proposed BFCL control strategy is very efficient in improving system fault ride through (FRT) capability and outperforms SDBR in all cases considered.

Goi-tentsioko korronte zuzeneko (ingelesez, High Voltage Direct Current HVDC) garraio-sistemak gero eta garrantzitsuagoak dira sistema elektrikoan, onura ekonomiko eta teknikoak direla eta. Hala ere, akatsen bat gertatzen denean, korrontea eteteak oraindik ere erronka izaten jarraitzen du HVDC sareetan. Desiragarriak ez diren korronteak eteteko, korronte zuzeneko etengailuak erabil daitezke, baina horien gaitasuna mugatua da. Egoera hala izanik, akats-korronteen mugagailuak (ingelesez, Fault Current Limiter FCL) dira proposamenik egokiena akats-korronteak maneiagarriagoak diren balioetara txikitzeko; hartara, sistema elektrikoaren garraio-ahalmena handitu daiteke, ekipamendua aldatu beharrik gabe. Sarean aldez aurretik legokeen ekipamendua gai izango litzateke korronte berriak kudeatzeko eta sistema era eraginkorrean babesteko FCLen erabilpenaz. Artikulu honetan, FCL tresnen ezaugarri orokorrak eta sailkapena aurkezten dira. Ondoren, egoera solidoko FCLa erabili da maila anizkoitzeko bihurgailudun (ingelesez, Modular Multilevel Converter MMC) VSC-HVDC (ingelesez, Voltage Source Converter) sistema batean, eta horren jokaera azaltzen da simulazio bidez.
