Chapter 1: Environment of the SFCL: The Electric Grid
In this chapter, we will address the structure of the electrical grid. An emphasis will be stressed on the effects of failure on the stability and security of the grid. The recourse to superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) could be interesting to help the management of the network in case of failure. We will also address new trends in the electrical industry that would be an opportunity to use SFCL.
