Design and Implementation of Fault Current Limiters in Distribution System Using Internet of Things

One of the essential execution of a wireless sensor network is observing hardware. Wireless Sensor Network are capable for taken a toll effective checking over gigantic geo location. Development of keen network depends on the Internet of Things (IoT). Nowadays the fault current levels are increased because of the increasing power demand. Fault Current Limiter(FCL) is used as a protective device to reduce the fault current in distribution system. This paper presents Solid State Fault Current Limiter (SSFCL) and Hybrid Fault Current Limiter (HFCL) to limit the fault current levels for different fault conditions. Also this paper presents the comparison between these two devices with fault current limiting ratio. The performance of the two devices is carried over in IEEE 6-bus system. The simulation and experimental results validate the performance of these two devices to reduce the fault current. The proposed model is executed with SSFCL and HFCL for 60 W three-phase load under various fault conditions. All the fault conditions are observed and controlled through IoT cloud framework.
