Recently, studies on connecting distributed generation (DG) to power distribution systems through DC links have been actively conducted. When a fault in feeder of this power distribution system occurs, a voltage dip can happen in the grid. In order to prevent voltage dips, there are several solutions such as the application of a superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL). If a SFCL with a larger impedance is applied, the voltage dip of the grid is effectively prevented. However, this action can bring about the malfunction or the delayed operation of the over-current relay (OCR) due to the decreased fault current, which causes another problem of protection coordination between the protective relays. On the other hand, if the impedance of the SFCL is too low, excessive reactive power is supplied by the fault ride-through (FRT) regulation and the active power is reduced. This causes an active power imbalance on the DC link and increases the DC link’s voltage. As previous solutions to prevent the rise of DC links’ voltage, the deloading method and the application of a chopper resistor have been suggested. In this paper, a technique called active power tracking control (APTC), was proposed to suppress the rise of DC links’ voltage. Case studies considering the impedance of SFCL in the constructed power distribution system were carried out, and the rise of DC links’ voltage could be effectively suppressed without any significant delay in the operation of the OCR. This study is expected to solve both the voltage dip of the grid and the rise of DC links’ voltage when distributed generation is connected to a grid.
