Title:
SiC-Based Solid-State Fault Current Control System for Vulnerability Reduction of Power Distribution Networks
Summary:
This project seeks to develop high-voltage, high-performance Solid-State Fault Current Controller (SSFCC) technology utilizing Silicon Carbide (SiC) super gate-turnoff thyristors (SGTOs). This technology will provide unprecedented fault protection capability greatly minimizing the recovery time and vulnerability of the network in the event of a large-scale natural disaster.
