Abstract

This paper shows a solution for controlling shortcircuit currents of a power electronic based Fault Current Limiter (FCL). A model for control design of three-phase short-circuit currents will be presented. A way of limiting the maximum aperiodic short-circuit current is derived with special regards to the stability of the entire system. Control designs of single- and two-phase shortcircuit currents are shown in the paper as well as a method of fault type detection.
