Superconducting Fault Current Limiter in a Distributed Generation Test Facility Luciano Martini*, Marco Bocchi*, Rossella Dalessandro*, Valerio Rossi*, Daniele Bartalesi* CIRED 2009 20th International Conference and Exhibition on ELECTRICITY DISTRIBUTION Praga, 8-11 Giugno 2009 * ERSE SpA The Superconducting Fault Current Limiter (SFCL) is an innovative component able to limit instantaneously large short-circuit currents to acceptable level. In this paper we report on installation, commissioning and field testing of a SFCL prototype in a distributed generation Test Facility. Details of SFCL installation and of developed monitoring and acquisition system are described. Simulation results for 3-phase faults are compared with successful short-circuit field tests showing the good current-limiting capability and fast action of SFCL prototype.
