“…The SiC-based-GTO SSFCL is still under development [17] and therefore has a relatively lower power rating of 6 MVA (13.8 kV, 0.3 kA or 4.16 kV, 1.0 kA) The main advantages of this "super-GTO" SSFCL are reduced size and no cooling requirement, which drive its application in compact distributed generation and islanded power system like electric ship and microgrid, compared to Silicon-based-GTO SSFCL.…”

We summarize the state of the art of Fault Current Limiters (FCL), focusing on devices in or near to field test status, and then, based on capabilities and characteristics of FCLs and smart grid, assign the various types to the most appropriate nodes in a smart grid.: 1) solid-state FCLs can be installed at microgrid and renewable energy resource feeders to replace circuit breaker and maintain protection coordination of the transmission network; 2) resistive superconducting FCL, saturated iron-core superconducting FCL and dynamic FCL can be installed at distribution substations to maintain downstream over-current protection without current harmonics disturbance; and 3) resistive and saturated iron-core superconducting FCLs can be installed at optimum locations in the transmission network to reduce fault currents to within a tolerable range when a new power plant is installed. With these placements, we can make full use of the advantages of smart grid's communication network and different characteristics of FCL devices in different categories to offer a more flexible and reliable protection for future power grid.

“…However, the voltage level and current level of the PTC resistance‐type FCL are small, which cannot meet the use of the large power system. The power electronic device type FCL has features of small size, fast response, full‐controlled shutdown, but its static loss and voltage drop are large [16, 17]. The saturable reactor‐type FCL takes advantage of the saturation effect of the reactor.…”

“…The DC current limiter can limit the large increase of the fault current after the DC fault occurs, and keep the fault current within the acceptable range, thus reducing the requirements for the operation time and capacity of DC circuit breaker to remove fault. It can be divided into three types: the fault current limiter based on superconducting material [17], the fault current limiter based on positive temperature coefficient resistance [18], and the fault current limiter based on power electronic devices [19] [20]. The converters with fault isolation are mainly for modular multilevel converters, which can be divided into: MMC based on full-bridge module and MMC based on clamped doublemodule [21].…”

Fault current suppression is the key technology to ensure the safe operation of the DC power distribution system. In order to realize the parameter collaborative configuration of the DC circuit breaker and the DC current limiter and improve the fault current suppression capability, the fault current suppression mechanism of the DC power distribution system is revealed based on the circuit model. Then, based on the mathematical model of the DC breaker, the characteristic parameters of DC breaking are extracted, and then the influence of different characteristic parameters on the breaking characteristics of fault current is studied. Finally, the mathematical model of the collaborative process between DC circuit breaker and DC current limiter is established. The characteristic parameters of fault current collaborative suppression are extracted. The coupling effects of different characteristic parameters on the fault current collaborative suppression are studied. The principle of collaborative configuration of DC circuit breaker and DC current limiter is proposed, and the collaborative suppression ability of DC circuit breaker and DC current limiter to fault current is fully exploited to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the DC power distribution system.
