Abstract:
The utilization of fault current limiters (FCLs) provides an effective approach to alleviate the negative consequences associated with short circuit currents. This equipment can affect other system specifications. In this paper, the effects of FCL on power system transient stability are investigated by a theoretical-comparative study. In this study, different FCL impedances (inductive and resistive) are analyzed and compared considering two locations for FCL installation and different locations of fault occurrence in a single-machine infinite bus system. To evaluate the power system's transient stability, the authors adopt an approach based on the equal area criterion, which calculates the difference between accelerating and decelerating areas. Another issue addressed in this article is the fault-clearing time effect on the power system's transient stability as FCL is installed in the power grid. The results have been confirmed through the use of MATLAB software.
