An innovation by researchers from IIT Kanpur that can better protect power grids

·         Researchers from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur have come up with an innovation which will facilitate defend power grids against unexpected, sudden current surges.

·         An innovative variation of the superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL), this good SFCL not solely shields the grid from massive current surges and subsequent fireplace accidents, it also can sense when this surges can happen and warn the system regarding it.
