Proposed New Structure for Fault Current Limiting and Power Quality Improving Functions

Abstract

This paper presents the combination of the bridge type fault current limiter and power converter for voltage quality improvement. Common diode bridge fault current limiter and power converter injected together by a common dc link in new structure system. The proposed system can be connected between the beginning and end of feeder connected to critical loads and point of common coupling (PCC) in distribution network. The proposed FCL has been Simulated and Studied by PSCAD/EMTDC.
