Zenergy Power has been developing an inductive-type of
fault current limiter (FCL) for electric power grid
applications. In March 2009 Zenergy Power installed a
FCL in the Avanti distribution circuit of Southern
California Edison’s Shandin substation in San Bernardino,
CA, rated at 15 kV and 1,200 amperes steady-state. In
January 2010, this device successfully limited its first series
of real-world faults when the circuit experienced multiple
single-phase and three-phase faults. Zenergy Power also
received contracts to deliver an 11 kV, 1,250 amperes FCL
for the CE Electric UK grid and a 138 kV, 1,300 amperes
FCL for the Tidd substation of American Electric Power.

Zenergy Power has successfully designed, built, tested, and installed in the US electrical grid a saturable reactor Fault Current Limiter. Beginning in 2007, first as SC Power Systems and from 2008 as Zenergy Power, Inc., ZP used DOE matching grant and ARRA funds to help refine the design of the saturated reactor fault current limiter.
This paper presents 230 66 kV, substation grounding system and calculation results of required parameters. The grounding system is essential to protect people working or walking in the vicinity of earthed facilities and equipments against the danger of electric shock. This paper provides the floor surface either assures an effective insulation from earth potential or effectively equipment to a close mesh grid. Calculations of grounding grid system in the substation area which the top soil layer resistivity is less than the bottom layer resistivity, can lessen the number of ground rod used in the grid because the value of Ground Potential Rise GPR is insignificantly different. Essential equations are used in the design of grounding system to get desired parameters such as touch and step voltage criteria for safety, earth resistance, grid resistance, maximum grid current, minimum conductor size and electrode size, maximum fault current level and resistivity of soil.

The Z-Source Inverter (ZSI) has been reported suitable for res idential PV system because of the capability of voltage boost and inversion in a single stage. Recently,four new topol ogies,the quasi-Z-Source Inverters (qZSI),have been derived from the original ZSI. This project ana lyzes one voltage fed topology of these four in detail and applies it to PV power generation systems. By using the new quasi-Z-Source topology,the inverter draws a constant current from the PV array and is capabl e of handling a wide input voltage range. It also features lower component ratings and reduced source stress compared to the traditional ZSI. A prototype which provides three phase 50-Hz,230Vrms ac has been built in laboratory . It is demonstrated from the theoretical analysis and MATLAB/SIMULATION results that t he proposed qZSI can realize voltage buck or boost and dc-ac inversion in a single stage with high reliability and efficiency,which makes it well suited for PV power systems.

Electricity can be produced using chemical effect where the movement of ions constitutes a flow of current through the electrolyte. Electrochemical cells are used as storage cells where chemical energy can be converted into electrical energy. The most efficient and widely used method for the generation of electricity is based on the laws of Electromagnetic Induction. According to this law electromotive force is induced in a conductor whenever the conductor cuts across magnetic lines of flux. The invention of the Diode Valve in 1904 and the invention of the triode valve in 1906 and their largescale production from 1920 onwards helped to manufacture electronic products and instruments. The invention of the galena-based Cat’s whisker detector in 1906 was the milestone of manufacturing crystal radio receivers. Cuprous oxide rectifier was invented in 1926 and was used for the rectification of power supply frequencies. Selenium rectifier was invented in 1933 and it was also used for the rectification of power frequencies but selenium rectifier was more efficient and was best in low-voltage, heavy current applications. Commercial manufacturing of germanium crystal diode was started in 1946. Then invention of the bipolar junction transistor in 1948 had replaced the valves because of low power, low cost, small size and long-lasting. Electrical products are generally operated from the mains power supply. But electronic products are operated by D.C supply and nowadays most of the communication devices are designed to be operated by the low-watt power supply.

Development and Deployment of Saturated-Core Fault Current Limiters in Distri...Franco Moriconi
Zenergy Power has been developing an inductive-type of fault current limiter (FCL) for electric power grid applications. The FCL employs a magnetically saturating reactor concept which acts as a variable inductor in an electric circuit. In March 2009 Zenergy Power, with funding from the California Energy Commission and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), installed an FCL in the Avanti distribution circuit of Southern California Edison’s Shandin substation in San Bernardino, CA. Rated at 15 kV and 1,250 amperes steady-state, the “Avanti” device is the first superconductor FCL installed in a US utility. In January 2010, the “Avanti” device successfully limited its first series of real-world faults when the circuit experienced multiple single-phase and three-phase faults. After successfully validating the performance of a new “compact” saturated-core FCL, Zenergy Power received contracts to install a 12 kV, 1,250 amperes compact FCL in the CE Electric UK grid in early 2011 and a 138 kV, 1,300 amperes FCL at the Tidd substation of American Electric Power in late 2011.
Single core configurations of saturated core fault current limiter performanc...IJECEIAES
Economic growth with industrialization and urbanization lead to an extensive increase in power demand. It forced the utilities to add power generating facilities to cause the necessary demand-generation balance. The bulk power generating stations, mostly interconnected, with the penetration of distributed generation result in an enormous rise in the fault level of power networks. It necessitates for electrical utilities to control the fault current so that the existing switchgear can continue its services without upgradation or replacement for reliable supply. The deployment of fault current limiter (FCL) at the distribution and transmission networks has been under investigation as a potential solution to the problem. A saturated core fault current limiter (SCFCL) technology is a smart, scalable, efficient, reliable, and commercially viable option to manage fault levels in existing and future MV/HV supply systems. This paper presents the comparative performance analysis of two single-core SCFCL topologies impressed with different core saturations. It has demonstrated that the single AC winding configuration needs more bias power for affecting the same current limiting performance with an acceptable steady-state voltage drop contribution. The fault state impedance has a transient nature, and the optimum bias selection is a critical design parameter in realizing the SCFCL applications.

High-power short-circuit test results and numerical simulations of a 15kV–24MVA distribution-class High Temperature Superconductor (HTS) Fault Current Limiters (FCL) are presented and compared in this paper. The FCL design was based on the nonlinear inductance model here described, and the device was tested at 13.1kV line-to-line voltage for prospective fault currents up to 23kArms, prior to its installation in the electric grid. Comparison between numerical simulations and fault test measurements show good agreement. Some simulations and field testing results are depicted. The FCL was energized in the Southern California Edison grid on March 9, 2009.

Test results obtained during fault current interruption tests with an air-core reactor are compared to test results obtained using a saturating-core inductive HTS Fault Current Limiter in the same circuit under the same circumstances. These test results are further compared with analytical simulations developed using the PSCAD® software suite. The simulations exhibit good agreement with the test results and confirm that compared to an equivalent air-core reactor, the HTS FCL results in lower amplitude and significantly lower rate of rise of the Transient Recovery Voltage.
Harmonic Mitigation in Distribution System by using Passive Filtersijtsrd
The advent of power electronics and computerized equipment in recent decades has brought enhanced efficiency and improved system but at the same time also created harmonics and waveform distortion to the power system network. Due to the growing use of nonlinear load equipment and new technologies in buildings, harmonic currents and voltages generated in distribution systems pose a new problem for electrical engineers. This is a serious problem when power quality is a prime concern. Harmonics are the main types of power quality problem that are very common to the power system containing electric arc furnace EAF . Electric arc furnace EAFs are widely used in steelmaking and in melting of nonferrous metals. In this paper, EAF is presented guide lines for the accurate evaluation of harmonics generated in No. 3 Steel Mill, Ywama, Yangon. Passive filters have been most commonly used to limit the flow of harmonic currents in distribution systems. Their performance is limited to a few harmonics, and they can introduce resonance in the power system.

Modeling and control of HVDC grids: a key challenge for the future power systemPower System Operation
HVDC technology is developing fast and HVDC
grids are increasingly seen as a possible and feasible solution
to manage the future power system with large amounts of
renewables in a secure and cost-effective manner. However,
systems with significant amounts of DC transmission behave
in a fundamentally different manner when compared to the
traditional AC power system. The integration of HVDC systems
introduces new fast dynamics on different time frames and adds
controllability to the combined system. As a result, the modeling
and control of the entire interconnected system needs to be reevaluated
in order to accurately compute the system behavior,
both from the AC and DC system.
This survey paper gives an overview of the current research
in the field of HVDC grids focusing on the interaction of the AC
and DC system. The converters and their behavior are discussed
in greater detail. A second component which is discussed is the
DC breaker. Both devices operate fundamentally different than
their AC counterparts. The fast interaction between AC and DC
systems requires changes in the manner in which the modeling
and computation of the system is done, both at the DC and
the AC side. Although these considerations are needed within all
relevant time frames, two relevant cases are specifically addressed
in this paper: the connection of offshore wind power through a
HVDC system and the optimal operation of the power system
with a strong presence of HVDC.

The development and testing of an innovative and compact saturating-reactor High Temperature Superconductor Fault Current Limiter (HTS FCL) is described. The development includes an initial dry-type magnetic core design with iron cores partially encircled by an HTS DC coil and a recently completed oil-immersed design with magnetic cores enclosed in a metallic tank placed inside the warm bore of a rectangular HTS DC magnet. The first 15 kV HTS FCL was installed in Southern California Edison’s grid in 2009 and the first transmission-class 138 kV Compact HTS FCL is planned to be in operation in American Electric Power’s grid in 2011.
Resonance of a distribution feeder with a saturable core fault current limiterFranco Moriconi
Simulations of a resonance event were performed based on actual field data of a commercially operating distribution feeder and a superconducting saturable core fault current limiter. The analysis was conducted from both the system's and the fault current limiter's perspectives. Agreement in the results of the two approaches showed that under certain values of reactive shunt compensation, full insertion of the limiter's reactance, and low load conditions, a sustained but damped resonance can occur. Resonance suppression preventive measures for these conditions are proposed.

Results of measurements with a downscaled model of a novel superconducting inductive Shielded Fault Current Limiter (iSFCL) based on 2nd generation HTS material are reported. Two different types of models were tested, one with an open iron core and one with a closed iron core. The operational characteristics of both systems with focus on the superconducting secondary modules in normal operation and in quenching mode with quench times of up to 500 ms are analyzed. The HTS modules are based on 40 mm wide YBCO coated conductors with a high-ohmic protection layer and an external shunt system. Further development/testing program includes a 3-phase-field trial, where a full scale technology demonstrator (15-MVA class) will be integrated in the distribution grid of the utility Stadtwerke Augsburg in Germany. This joint project of Schneider Electric, Bruker HTS, Bruker Advanced Supercon and Stadtwerke Augsburg is supported by the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology (BMWi)

ABSTRACT
Zenergy Power has been developing an inductive-type of
fault current limiter (FCL) for electric power grid
applications. In March 2009 Zenergy Power installed a
FCL in the Avanti distribution circuit of Southern
California Edison’s Shandin substation in San Bernardino,
CA, rated at 15 kV and 1,200 amperes steady-state. In
January 2010, this device successfully limited its first series
of real-world faults when the circuit experienced multiple
single-phase and three-phase faults. Zenergy Power also
received contracts to deliver an 11 kV, 1,250 amperes FCL
for the CE Electric UK grid and a 138 kV, 1,300 amperes
FCL for the Tidd substation of American Electric Power.
INTRODUCTION
Since 2005, Zenergy Power (ZEN) has been developing
proprietary high-temperature superconductor (HTS) fault
current limiter (FCL) technology. The ZEN FCL is an
inductive type of FCL that uses a magnetically saturating
reactor concept to act as a variable inductor in an electric
circuit. Unlike resistive and shielded core FCLs that rely on
the quenching of the superconducting material (a sudden
transition from the superconductive state to a normal
resistive conductor state when a critical current level is
reached) to achieve increased impedance, saturating-core
FCLs use the dynamic behaviour in the magnetic properties
of a magnetic core (nominally grain-oriented silicon steel,
but other materials are possible and offer unique
performance characteristics) to change the inductive
reactance on the AC circuit being protected.
OPERATING PRINCIPLE
The basic operating principles of the ZEN FCL are easily
explained with a simple diagram. Referring to Figure 1,
there are two rectangular iron cores arranged side-by-side.
The iron cores are surrounded by a single HTS coil that
encircles the adjacent inner limbs of the iron cores in the
centre of the device. A low voltage DC power supply
energizes the HTS coil with a high DC bias current to create
a very strong DC magnetic field that magnetically saturates
the iron cores. The outer limbs of the iron cores are wound
with conventional copper coils that are connected in series
with the AC circuit that is to be protected. The DC bias
magnetic flux is unidirectional as determined by the
direction of DC bias current flow and the HTS coil winding
orientation. The AC flux generated by the line current in the
series-connected AC coils alternates direction in synch with
the periodic inverting of the AC line current sine wave.
Consequently, the AC magnetic flux alternately “boosts”
and “bucks” the DC bias magnetic flux in the portions of the
iron cores under the AC coils.
Figure 1. Basic saturating reactor FCL concept.
If the magnitude of the AC magnetic flux is small in
comparison to the DC bias magnetic flux, the iron cores
remain magnetically saturated, and the AC circuit
impedance is low. When the magnitude of the AC flux
generated by the AC line current is sufficient to overcome
the DC bias magnetic flux and to start to drive the iron cores
out of magnet saturation, the impedance increases suddenly,
acting to limit the AC line current flow. The response time
is sufficient to effectively limit the first ¼-cycle peak of the
AC line fault current. When the fault clears, the constant DC
bias magnetic flux restores the magnetic saturation of the
iron cores, reducing the AC impedance to the low steady-
state value.
CALIFORNIA GRID OPERATION
Background
ZEN has built and tested dozens of prototype FCLs,
including two full-scale distribution-voltage devices, based
on the architecture shown in Figure 1. After major

refurbishment and modification following extensive testing,
the second of these full-scale FCLs was installed in a field
demonstration in the Avanti circuit of the Southern
California Edison (SCE) Shandin Substation located in San
Bernardino, CA, as shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2. The CEC FCL installed at the SCE Shandin
Substation in San Bernardino, California, USA.
This comprehensive field demonstration, which ran from
March 2009 until October 2010, was partially sponsored by
both the California Energy Commission (CEC) and the U.S.
Department of Energy (DOE), with significant in-kind
support by SCE, and was the first instance of a HTS FCL
being used in commercial service in the U.S. electric grid.
The Avanti circuit, also known as the “Circuit of the
Future,” is a specially configured and instrumented
distribution circuit serving residential and commercial
customers that is used by SCE, DOE and CEC to test and
evaluate promising “smart grid” and grid modernization
technologies. The focus of the demonstration project was
two-fold. The first objective was to establish that ZEN
could design and qualify a FCL to a precise operational
performance specification defined by SCE. The second
objective was to thoroughly evaluate the operations and
maintenance considerations associated with the use of a
HTS FCL in commercial service and to define the
requirements and protocols for widespread adoption of HTS
FCLs by electric utilities. The demonstration programwas a
complete success on both counts.
The “Avanti” FCL was nominally a 15 kV class (110 kV
BIL), 1200 amperes rms, 60-Hz device that was designed to
limit a 23 kA rms symmetric prospective fault by at least
20% while producing no more than 70 V back-emf at rated
steady-state current). The FCL was subjected to extensive
full-power (rated voltage and current) testing, fault testing,
and standards testing at Powertech Laboratories, Surrey,
B.C., Canada in October 2008, and a second set of high-
voltage electrostatics acceptance testing (lighting impulse,
chopped-wave, voltage withstand, and partial discharge)
was performed at SCE’s laboratories in Westminster,
California in December 2008. In the absence of accepted
industry standards for FCLs, a comprehensive test plan
based on IEEE standards for transformers and series
reactors [1-3] was developed in collaboration with SCE and
NEETRAC1
. In all, 65 separate tests events were
performed, including 32 full-power fault tests with first peak
fault current levels up to 59 kA.
Fault tests included individual fault events of 20-30 cycles
duration, as well as multiple fault events in rapid sequence
(to simulate automatic re-closer operation) and extended
fault events of up to 82 cycles duration (to simulate primary
protection failure scenarios). The design, development and
testing of the FCL has been extensively documented in
several papers [4-5].

Operating Experience
The operations and maintenance experience gained and the
resulting protocols for the design, installation, control,
monitoring, and employment of FCLs in the electric grid
were the most important results of the “Avanti” FCL
demonstration. The operating environment at the Shandin
substation was a severe, U.S. southwest desert environment
with hot (daytime temperatures well in excess of 40 °C),
dry, dusty, high-wind conditions. Additionally, a residential
neighbourhood located nearby imposed severe ambient
noise requirements. The FCL performed well throughout the
demonstration, but several significant modifications were
made in collaboration with SCE. Significant observations
from the demonstration project include:
The enclosure environmental conditions must be
maintained within a narrow band for the reliability of
the control, instrumentation, cryogenic refrigeration
and DC power supply equipment – additional air
conditioning was installed in the FCL enclosure to
satisfy hot-day cooling requirements.
Air-cooled cryogenic refrigerators were satisfactorily
employed (with sufficient enclosure air conditioning),
but water-cooled cryogenic refrigerators may be more
robust in the field.
A sub-cooled liquid nitrogen re-condensing cryogenic
system was successfully employed. Current FCLs will
use a “dry-type” conduction-cooling cryogenic system
free of liquid cryogens.
The FCL control system is able to shut itself down in

the event of loss of station power – several substation
blackouts were experienced – and to automatically
restart when station power is restored, including the
restoration and stabilization of cryogenic refrigeration.
A UPS was installed to provide control,
instrumentation and DC bias current for up to two
hours during station outages.
While multiple channels of FCL system “health” data
were provided, SCE desired a “watch-dog” monitoring
system that provided a “Go” (all systems normal) or a
“No-Go” (some system off-specification) with an
automatic bypass switch to remove the FCL from
service in the event of a “No-Go” condition.
The FCL control system was successfully integrated
through a secure Ethernet connection into the SCE
SCADA system; a MODBUS control scheme enabled
secure, real-time monitoring and operation from the
SCE Control Room.
If the FCL is being relied upon for system protection,
the system must be configurable (through temporary
buss-splitting, for example) to control fault duty levels
in the event the FCL must be removed for maintenance
or repair.
Saturated-core FCLs as small inductors during steady-
state conditions and large inductors during fault
conditions must be evaluated for compatibility with
existing circuit resistance and capacitance values to
ensure voltage stability on the protected circuit – a
separate paper discusses this requirement [6].
The effects of saturated core FCLs on circuit breaker
transient recovery voltage must be evaluated to ensure
adequate rating of circuit breakers and determination of
maximum allowable interrupt currents – a separate
paper discusses this requirement [7].
On January 14, 2010 the FCL experienced its first-ever in-
grid fault. Based on the voltage data located at the load side
of the FCL, as shown in Figure 4, the event evolved from a
phase-to-phase fault, to a three-phase fault, to a temporary
recovery, to a phase-to-phase fault, to another three-phase
fault, ending with an open line and clearing. This very
unusual, mostly symmetrical, multi-fault event occurred
over a three-second period. Physically the event was
initiated by the overhead conductors of A and B phases
slapping together during high wind conditions near the end
of the Avanti Circuit. This phase-to-phase fault lasted about
250 milliseconds, when Phase C also faulted, thus evolving
into a three-phase fault, lasting about half a second. The air
insulation recovered its full strength for about one second,
but then the conductors of phases A and B again arced to
each other for about three quarters of a second. The arc was
about to be extinguished at this time; however, Phase C also
arced, becoming another three-phase fault. The event ended
about a quarter of a second later when Phase B conductor
opened, dropped to the ground, and the circuit was
eventually cleared. During this sequence of events the FCL
operated as designed and limited the fault current.

three second period.
DEVELOPMENT OF COMPACT FCL
Despite the unqualified success of the “Avanti” FCL
demonstration project, the large size and weight of the air-
dielectric, closed-core FCL architecture relative to its
electrical power rating challenged the economic value
proposition at distribution voltages. At the same time, the
air-dielectric design complicated scaling-up the device to
higher voltages. In light of these observations, ZEN
conceived of an open-core FCL design that used an oil
dielectric and conventional transformer design and
manufacturing techniques to create a much smaller FCL
with greater fault limiting performance and much higher
voltage and power ratings. This new design was designated
the “Compact FCL.”
ZEN, with financial support from DOE and the
Consolidated Edison Company of New York (ConEdison),
built and tested four full-scale distribution-voltage Compact
FCL prototypes using different internal designs. A unique
feature of the Compact FCL is that there is no physical
interface between the “AC side” of the device (the line
current and voltage in the circuit being protected) and the
“DC side” of the device (the HTS DC bias coil and its
associated power supply). The AC coils and bus-work are
located inside a dielectric tank, and the HTS DC bias
magnets are placed in cryostats that surround the tank.
Another important design innovation is the use of “dry-
type” cryogenics to conductively cool the HTS coil without
the use of liquid nitrogen. Conduction cooling allows the
HTS coil to be cooled below the nitrogen freezing point,
thereby improving the performance of the HTS wire and
reducing the amount used in the magnets. “Dry-type”
conduction cooling also avoids concerns about large
volumes of liquid cryogens in confined spaces and potential
pressure vessel and stored energy. Figure 5 shows a
recently completed 15kV class FCL with two “dry-type”
conduction cooled coils surrounding an oil-filled dielectric
tank with the AC coils. This device is 75% smaller and

AMERICAN ELECTRIC POWER PROJECT
ZEN has entered into an agreement with American Electric
Power (AEP), Columbus, Ohio, to partner for the
demonstration of a 138 kV three-phase FCL as a part of
ZEN’s ongoing DOE-sponsored FCL development
program. A single-phase 138 kV FCL prototype will be
built and tested in the first half of 2011, and a three-phase
FCL demonstration unit will be built, tested and installed in
AEP’s Tidd substation located near Steubenville, Ohio in
early 2012. This device will be designed to operate at 1.3
kA steady state and reduce an approximate 20 kA
prospective fault by 43% and instantaneously recover under
load. The device will be installed on the low side of the 345
kV to 138 kV transformer and will protect the 138 kV
feeder.
Figure 6. Comparison of voltage drop between a current
limiting reactor and the ZEN FCL.
AEP presently uses a conventional 3.8 Ω current limiting
reactor to protect the circuit from excess fault currents. This
reactor causes a 6% voltage drop on a base load of
320 MVA. When the ZEN FCL is installed the circuit will
have the same amount of fault current protection; however
the steady-state voltage drop will be 75% less – only 1.5%
on a base load of 320 MVA. Please see Figure 6.
