"A Novel Saturated Amorphous Alloy Core Based Fault Current Limiter for" by Md Minarul Islam, Kashem M. Muttaqi et al.
Abstract This paper proposes the use of a novel saturated amorphous alloy core-based fault current limiter (SAACFCL) to improve the LVRT capability of doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) based wind energy systems, especially during voltage sag events. Compared to the traditional cores which are widely used in fault current limiter (FCL), amorphous alloy core possesses a very narrow B-H loop which indicates that the SAACFCL requires a smaller dc excitation current, and it will incur low core losses. Under normal conditions, this developed SAACFCL accomplishes low impedance and has a negligib...
