There are different approaches to limit fault current, in this thesis work, Superconducting fault current Limiters (SFCL) is focused on. The resistive and inductive types of SFCL are explained in this thesis work. This thesis establishes and reviews the state of the art in resistive SFCL technology and application knowledge, and provides crucial research-based guidance for the adoption of resistive SFCLs in future power systems.
