This article introduces the potential use of superconductivity in cryo-electrified aircraft as the
aviation industry and governments move toward zero-emissions environmental targets. It …

High-Tc superconducting (HTS)-coated conductors are a promising option for the next-
generation power devices. However, their thin-film geometry incurs dynamic loss when …

The concept of a SmartCoil fault current limiter consists of a conventional primary winding at
room temperature, which induces a current in the secondary superconducting winding. This …

The fault current level in distribution systems has increased in the last years mainly due to
the energy consumption is in the limit of the production capacity and also the insertion of …

This paper presents the design of a Superconducting Fault Current Limiter (SFCL) and
calculation results of forces and stresses in the windings of a resistive fault current limiter …

As a result of integrating a large number of electrical energy sources, especially renewable
energy, the fault current will be increasing to unprecedented levels. The use of fault current …

Fault current limiters (FCLs) can effectively limit the excessive short-circuit current. The arc is
one of the energy transferring and dissipating forms in the current limiting process, which is …

Electrical faults on medium voltage electric power distribution systems can damage
transformers. This fact motivated an R&D project in Brazil to study Fault Current Limiters for a …
