A Novel Bridge-Type Solid-State Fault Current Limiter Based on Limiting Reactance Current Control

在基于晶闸管的单相/三相桥式固态限流器基础上,对其拓扑结构进行改进,其中整流桥路、续流桥路均采用二极管,减少电力电子可控元件的数量。提出了基于限流电抗电流控制的控制策略,通过控制限流电抗支路的全控电力电子开关器件的关断与导通,保持限流电抗电流稳定,限制线路故障电流的幅值,并对整个工作过程给出了完整分析。根据拓扑结构与工作原理,对控制系统与元件参数进行设计并进行建模仿真。结果表明该限流器正确工作于不同故障且对非故障相影响较小,能够精确控制故障电流并可灵活调整限流值,故障切除后线路能够迅速恢复正常工作,且适用于短时间多次故障、线路非全相运行和自动重合闸等情况。

On the basis of thyristors based single-phase/three-phase bridge-type solid-state fault current limiter （SSFCL）, its topological structure is improved：thyristors in rectifier and freewheel bridges are substituted by diodes to decrease the number of power electronic controllable elements. A limiting reactance current control based control strategy is proposed, that is, through controlling the switching off/on of full-controllable power electronic switch elements in current limiting reactance branch the current flowing through current limiting reactance is kept stable to limit the amplitude of fault current in transmission line. The analysis on entire working process of the improved SSFCL is given. Based on the topological structure and working principle, the control system and element parameters are designed and corresponding simulation model is established. Simulation results show that under different fault conditions the improved SSFCL works correctly and slightly affects on non-fault phase;it can control fault current accurately and the value of limited current can be flexible regulated, so after the clearance of the fault the transmission line can be back to normal operation rapidly, besides the improve SSFCL is suitable for following conditions：many times of fault occurred in a short-term, non-full-phase operation of transmission line and automatic reclosure.
