Superconducting fault current limiters for grid protection
Sergey Samoilenkov
Abstract
Superconducting fault current limiters are novel equipment for grid engineers. It presents unique features like ultra-fast current limitation, efficient reduction of fault current and very small footprint. It is eco-friendly and non-flammable. The article briefly discusses device basics, available options and recent practical advances in this field. As well, a forward-looking analysis of future SFCL opportunities
for application in the electrical grid is presented.
