To perfect the application of the fault current limiter in grid and improve the use efficiency, an optimal configuration method of fault current limiter based on multi-objective decision is proposed. Firstly, use rate of current change to select alternative branches, then taking the cost and current-limiting effect of fault current limiter as the targets, considering installation location, quantity of fault current limiter comprehensively, using α-method to determine the weight coefficient, establish multi-objective optimization model, and use immune algorithm to obtain the optimal scheme of branch installation. Next, by comparing the configuration of fault current limiter in the bus connection, the best configuration scheme is obtained. Finally, this method is verified by analyzing the IEEE39 node standard network.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
