摘要：In this paper, an application of superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) has been proposed forSmart grid, which is an advancement of the main power grid. Decentralization of the main power grid into number ofsmaller grids is the key feature of the future smart grid. To enhance the reliability of the power system, interconnectionof the distributed generating (DG) sources is required with the existing electrical grid. Presence of fault current due toextensive integration of DG sources within a smart grid causes failure of a successful implementation of smart grid.Superconducting fault current limiter being one of the innovative solutions in the highly interconnected smart grid hasthe capability to reduce the fault current level within the first cycle of the fault current, which results in an increasedtransient stability of the power system. A resistive type SFCL model has been developed in Simulink and theperformance of SFCL at different locations has been monitored in the proposed system considering wind farm (10MVA) as a distributed generating (DG) source with the conventional power plant, to reduce the fault current in microgrids. The feasible location of SFCL having no negative effect on the DG source has been evaluated in different typesof faults at various positions in the smart grid. A Simulink based model has been developed and the simulation resultsfor the proposed model have been obtained by using MATLAB.
