Analysis of transient stability enhancement of LV-connected induction microgenerators by using resistive-type fault current limiters
This EPSRC funded research [GR/T28836/01, £2.6M (£1.5M to Strathclyde), 2005-2009] presents a new analytical method for maintaining induction machine transient stability regardless of fault clearance time. Simulations demonstrated improvement in the transient stability of a large penetration of low-voltage connected micro-generation that can be directly interfaced by single-phase induction generators. Follow-on support through a Rolls-Royce CASE studentship and TSB-MANtIS [K/EL/00365/00/00, £365k, 2009-2013, Robert.Slater@Rolls-Royce.com] has provided a fuller value-proposition for a fault current limiter and has offered additional design requirements.
