Active fault current limiter and comparison of its performance with SFCL

In this paper, a new approach for controlling the Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC) during the fault condition is proposed. To limit the flow of large line currents, and therefore protect the SSSC and other system components, a fault limiting function is exploited in the SSSC operation.
