ANALYSIS OF OPTIMAL LOCATION OF SUPERCONDUCTING FAULT CURRENT LIMITER FOR THE SMART GRID

In today’s world, smart grid is the new term used for future power system. Also, there is dramatic growth in power system and interconnected network. Due to this increased interconnected network possibility of occurrence of abnormal events is more, which may harm the physical equipments in power system. Use of Superconducting fault current limiter is an effective solution to avoid these problems. Superconducting fault current limiter is an innovative protection device which is used to reduce the magnitude of fault current in high voltage system. In this paper the application of resistive type superconducting fault current limiter is explained, which is used to reduce the magnitude of fault current in designed smart grid system. However, Finding optimal location for installation of superconducting fault current limiter is difficult task. This paper describes a study on performance analysis of smart grid with superconducting fault current limiter and its optimal location.
