Abstract :
In this paper, enhancement of transient stability of Single Machine Infinite Bus (SMIB) system with a double circuit transmission line using a Non-superconducting Fault Current Limiter (NSFCL) is proposed. Stability analysis for such system is discussed in detail. It is shown that, the stability depends on the resistance of NSFCL in fault condition. To effective improvement of stability, the optimum value of NSFCL resistance is calculated. Simulation results by PSCAD/EMTDC software are presented to confirm the analytic analysis accuracy.
