Abstract

The present paper introduces the theoretical modelling of resistive-type Superconducting Fault Current Limiters (SFCL), which are the most common type in latest AC installations. SFCLs provide one of the most promising solutions for limiting fault currents in power grids by using superconducting materials. The study considers two approaches: the simplified exponential model and the thermo-electric model, based on The parameterization of both model types is introduced hereby, and in order to verify the influence of design parameters, both model types are implemented and simulated with MATLAB Simulink. The paper presents modelling issues and simulation results.
