Current-Limiting Performance of Three Types of SFCL in Shipboard MVDC IPS

One of the bottlenecks restricting the development of the shipboard medium voltage DC integrated power system (MVDC IPS) is the occurrence of short circuit faults. In order to solve the capacity development problem of circuit breakers, superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) represents its superiorities. In this paper, three typical types of SFCL are compared and analyzed in short fault of 12 kV, 10 kA MVDC IPS.
