Harmonics from Latest Innovative Electric Grid Technologies
Aging power systems infrastructure and increasing power demand constitute a serious challenge for electric power systems. Power system components, and particularly power circuit breakers, are witnessing an increased fault current scenario often beyond their interrupting capabilities. This represents a problem not only for circuit breakers, but also for all other substation equipment and hardware, given the large electrodynamic stresses developed during faults. Likewise, increased fault current levels mean higher step and touch potentials during faults that may pose a security issue for some substations.
Superconductive fault current limiters (SCFCLs) are under ...
