This paper will consider the use of IGBTs in solid state circuit breakers (SSCB). An optimisation process which produces a better structure of IGBT for use in this application is also presented. Advanced 2D device physical simulations show that the use of a charge storage structures is effective in maintaining the trade-off between important characteristics for SSCB. The optimised structure provides an IGBT with a better on-state performance, a maintained forward blocking capability, and a satisfactory switching performance.

“…The high‐speed current limiting equipment can use power electronic switches to act in the fault inception and suppresses the network voltage sag [14–16]. Some types of SSCBs can employ both mechanical and power electronic switches in their structures [17–19]. The SSCBs can control the transient overvoltage after fault removal [20–22].…”

The main goal of this study is introducing a novel fault current limiter based on parallel resonance structure (PRFCL) for high voltage application. During normal mode, the PRFCL reactor is short-circuited via a rectifier bridge DC output voltage and LC resonance tank shows negligible impedance in the line. During a fault, the rectifier bridge switches are turned off, so that the parallel resonance LC tank connects to the line with high impedance. This impedance of the resonance structure can limit the fault current, successfully. It is shown that the suggested PRFCL can act as a breaker and opens the line during the fault period. In order to show the suggested PRFCL abilities, MATLAB software is used to simulate the normal and fault cases. In addition, a scale-down prototype is implemented to confirm the simulation results. The comparative study shows that PRFCL has acceptable performance in normal and current limiting operation modes.
