1 Resistive Superconducting Fault Current Limiter1.1 Operating PrincipleAs power grid scales continue to expand, the short-circuit capacity of domestic power systems is rapidly increasing, posing significant challenges to grid construction and operation. To address the problem of excessive short-circuit currents, superconducting fault current limiters (SFCLs) based on superconductivity principles are receiving growing attention. Depending on their damping characteristics when transitioning into

1. Operation of the System With and Without CLiP (Current-Limiting Device)Under normal operating conditions, the switchboard operates as follows:All bus tie breakers are closed, connecting the three bus sections in parallel;Two generators are online and supplying power to the switchboard.Under this configuration, the prospective fault current at the switchboard is less than 50kA. Therefore, the current-limiting device (CLiP) is not inserted into the circuit.During maintenance operations involvin

Low-voltage pole-mounted circuit breakers (typically referring to low-voltage circuit breakers installed on utility poles or support columns) play an important role in protection and control within power systems. Their main applications include: Distribution Line Protection: Serving as the main or branch circuit protection switch for low-voltage distribution lines. When overloads, short circuits, or ground faults occur on the line, the circuit breaker automatically trips to interrupt the fault c

In the continuous development of China's power industry, the power system is constantly advancing into new fields. Although significant achievements have been made in power research, new challenges continue to emerge with industry growth, requiring new technologies for improvement. In the field of transmission lines, the application of anti-wind-deviation insulator technology is one such example.

1 Characteristics and Components of High-Voltage Transmission Lines1.1 Characteristics of High-Voltage Transmission LinesHigh-voltage transmission lines are characterized by their relatively low cost due to the smaller amount of information they require. They typically use two conductors, one connected to the positive pole and the other to the negative pole. DC transmission lines have durability and can transmit current over long distances. In some high-voltage transmission facilities in China,

Since the second half of the 19th century, the only insulating materials suitable for high-voltage power transmission lines were ceramics and glass. Starting in the 1940s, with the emergence of polymer materials, ceramics and glass were no longer the preferred choices, prompting countries in Europe and America to begin researching polymer insulators. Subsequently, extensive studies were conducted on the physical properties, electrical characteristics, long-term reliability, and optimal shapes of

Thermal power remains vital in the global energy mix, yet traditional systems face challenges of high energy consumption and emissions, requiring innovation for greener operations. High-voltage inverters, by regulating motor speed, offer an effective solution for energy efficiency and emission reduction in power plants.1 Overview of High-Voltage InvertersHigh-voltage inverters control high-voltage motors and transformers by adjusting frequency, enabling energy savings, improved efficiency, and e

As the demand for precise control in industrial processes continues to rise, traditional Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) technology struggles to meet the requirements for high dynamic performance and low harmonic distortion. In contrast, high-frequency PWM technology enhances output waveform quality and reduces system harmonics by increasing the carrier frequency, thereby optimizing the performance of inverters. Consequently, balancing system efficiency and reliability when applying high-frequency
