Abstract
In this paper a controllable resistive type fault current limiter (CR-FCL) is introduced. The CR-FCL inserts a
pre-specified value of resistance based on a pre-defined function, by using a simple switching method, in
series with the fault current path. When a fault occurs, a self turn off switch starts switching with a prespecified frequency and duty cycle. By this switching pattern, the controlled value of resistance enters to
the fault current path. So, the CR-FCL limits the fault current to the desired values. In addition, from transient stability point of view, by inserting the optimal resistance value, the CR-FCL is capable to enhance
power system transient stability in a good manner. In fact, generation of the controllable resistance that
depends on the duty cycle of the self turn off switch is the main idea of the CR-FCL. The variable duty
cycle results the variable resistance and the fixed duty cycle results the fixed resistance. Analytical analyses of the proposed FCL are presented in details. Simulation results by power system computer-aided
design/electromagnetic transients, including dc (PSCAD/EMTDC) software and corresponding experimental results are studied to validate the effectiveness of the CR-FCL. Considering error analyses, there is the
good agreement between the simulation results and the experimental results.
