| description | The development of industrial technology is based on electronic devices that are sensitive to power quality. Thus, the demand for high-quality and reliable power supplies is increasing. Voltage sag results in severe problems in the manufacturing process of power quality-sensitive industrial loads. When a fault occurs in a multi-ground power distribution system, the magnitudes of the fault current and voltage sag in the faulted and nonfaulted feeders become high. Hence, installing a superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) is an effective method of compensating for fault current limitation and voltage sag. This study evaluates the effects of improving the magnitude, duration, and frequency of the voltage sag according to the type of SFCL used. First, a fault in the power distribution system is analyzed using PSCAD/EMTDC, a power system simulation software, according to the fault current-limiting element (CLE) and the type of SFCL. Second, the expected voltage sag frequency caused by a feeder fault in the power distribution system is assessed. Finally, the voltage sag improvement effect according to the CLE and the type of SFCL are compared. The trigger-type SFCL with a resistor as a CLE has been evaluated and found to be effective in improving voltage sag. |
