Abstract

This paper presents the improvement of the profitability of the Network Distribution, when power transformers are protected only with Fault Current Limiting Technologies (FCLT). In assessing the total benefits of the Network Distributions from normal to post-fault conditions, we will compare two kinds of profitability taking in account the impact of Circuit Breakers (CBs) and FCL used separately as protection devices during the life span of power transformers. This study will be performed using MATLAB/SIMULINK as software and it was concluded that the FCL perfectly improves the profitability of the Network Distribution.
