22 results about "Fault current limiter" patented technology

A fault current limiter (FCL), or fault current controller (FCC), is a device which limits the prospective fault current when a fault occurs (e.g. in a power transmission network) without complete disconnection. The term includes superconducting, solid-state and inductive devices.

Superconducting switch

The invention relates to a superconducting electrical switch. The switch comprises two parallel branches of superconducting material in a loop, and a magnetic field generator which generates a time-varying magnetic field through the loop in a direction generally parallel to the axis of the loop. The magnetic field generator is selectively activated and de-activated to switch the electrical switch between a low-resistance state and a higher-resistance state. In the low-resistance state, there is no magnetic field through the loop and transport current flows through the loop. In the higher-resistance state, a magnetic field through the loop induces a screening current such that the sum of the transport current and the screening current is substantially equal to the critical current or is greater than the critical current of the superconducting material. The switch may be used in, for example, a rectifier or fault current limiter.

The invention discloses a fault current limiter system based on a novel liquid metal current limiter. The system is composed of a novel liquid metal current limiter, a quick switch and a current-limiting reactor. The novel liquid metal current limiter has the effects of shortening the initial current limiting time and quickly and accurately capturing short-circuit fault symptoms in the system. In the system, on one hand, the influence caused by the slowing of the self-contraction speed of the liquid metal is reduced through quick opening; on the other hand, the voltage at the two ends of the system is increased, the current transfer speed from the novel liquid metal current limiter branch to the current limiting reactor branch is increased, and the electric arc and ablation of the novel liquid metal current limiter are further weakened. The current limiting depth can be improved by adding the current limiting reactor, and the defect that the liquid metal current limiter only depends on electric arc current limiting is overcome through a current transfer mode, so that the novel liquid metal current limiter can be applied to the high-voltage field.

A control method of a resistance-inductance type current limiter based on energy consumption branch multiplexing, and a resistance-inductance type current limiter

The application discloses a control method of a resistance-inductance type current limiter based on energy consumption branch multiplexing. For a multi-terminal direct-current power grid, resistance-inductance type current limiters share one energy consumption branch on multiple direct-current lines at the outlet side of the same bus. When the system is normally operated, thyristors in the resistance-inductance type current limiter are turned off, and direct-current only flows through the current limiting branch of the current limiter. After the system fails and before the circuit breaker acts, the thyristors in the resistance-inductance type current limiter remain in the off state. During the period of removing the fault current by the circuit breaker, the thyristors of the energy consumption branch are turned on, so as to separate the fault energy of the line and the current limiter. After the direct-current fault is removed, the thyristors of the energy consumption branch are always turned on, the residual energy of the fault current limiter is dissipated by the energy consumption branch, and the fault current limiter returns to the initial state after the energy of the reactor is dissipated. The method has simple topology and control logic and high reliability, can effectively reduce the number of energy consumption devices, and improves the economy of the current limiting equipment.
