Abstract
The solid-state fault interruption device (SSFID) is used for the purpose of quickly isolating sections of power networks under permanent faults. the SSFID is tested for performance by simulation in a simulated medium voltage system. a comparison with the conventional breaker is presented in response to system faults in the presence of wind power plants and other distributed energy resources. the SSFID appears to be a superior alternative to the contemporary mechanical circuit breaker in isolating faulted sections. However, some high transients may appear on the network because of the operation of the device. © 2012 IEEE.
