Abstract :
In this paper, a fault current limiter (FCL) with series compensation is proposed. It is composed of a limiting reactor and a compensation capacitor that is parallel with a by-pass reactor controlled by GTO. The FCL can not only control fault current, but also perform series compensation. The good performance of this device is proved by simulation, it will be a practical protection device for power systems in the future.
