Abstract :
A Saturated Iron Core Superconducting Fault Current Limiter (SICSFCL) provides a powerful fault current limitation in high voltage and high capacity power grid. A 35kV/90MVA SICSFCL was installed in a 35 kV network for live-grid operation, in January 2008 at Puji substation, Kunming, China. With deep research on SICSFCL, the matching problem between SICSFCL and relay protection currently needs to be solved. This paper analyzes the influence that SICSFCL brings to the distance relay protection which is used widely in high voltage power grid, and considering the characteristics of microcomputer-based protection, this paper proposes a new algorithm to eliminate the influence.
