Abstract
Energy networks are facing significant challenges as the result of increasing electrical loads. To meet this rapid increase in demand for electricity, new generating units are being added to support the stability and reliability of the network. This change in network structure requires a comprehensive analysis of the effect of that increase on the protection system. Limiting the fault current to safe levels prevents replacing the high-cost network components that may be subjected to damage due to exceeding the rated short-circuit current values for which they were designed. A fault analysis often requires extensive modeling and simulation of the system, which requires accurate models of the protection system. This paper proposes a model for the resistive superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) in PSCAD®/EMTDC™. The performance of the model is validated using a small test system.
