System-Level Studies of a $\hbox{MgB}_{2}$ Superconducting Fault-Current Limiter in an Active Distribution Network
2010
Superconducting fault-current limiters are being considered as a potential technology for restricting fault current to acceptable levels without extensive and costly network asset replacement. Such an issue currently arises primarily from the connection of a distributed generation. This paper first investigates the fault studies of an active medium-voltage distribution network with several superconducting fault-current-limiter deployment strategies and then considers their impact on circuit-breaker transient recovery voltage. These circuit-breaker characteristics at various voltage levels have been studied, and it is demonstrated that the superconducting fault-current limiter is capable of reducing both the magnitude and the rate of rise of the transient recovery voltage.
