Superconducting Power Equipment - Area of Interest2: Program Area of Interest 2 Fault Current Limiters(DE-PS26-06NT42874-02)The objective of this area is the development and demonstration of faultcurrent limiters (FCL) using high temperature superconductors to controlfault-current levels on utility distribution and transmission networks.Thesefault current limiters, unlike reactors or high-impedance transformers,shouldlimit fault currents without adding impedance to the circuit during normaloperation.The proposed project could involve design, testing and operation of FCLswiththe goal to demonstrate FCL for use in transmission; however, it may beappropriate to demonstrate the technology first at distributionlevel.
