To compensate the insufficiency of the traditional bridge-type superconducting fault current limiter（SFCL）

a combined bridge-type superconducting fault current limiter is designed. Its working principle and main design parameters are discussed. Simulation is conducted via the software MATLAB to verify the performance of the combined bridge-type superconducting fault current limiter. The results show that the combined bridge-type superconducting fault current limiter can effectively limit fault current

and the control strategy based on grid current amplitude caneffectively control the switching of superconducting ring. Consequently

this combined bridge-type superconducting faultcurrent limiter can be adopted as the design solution for the superconducting magnetic energy storage and fault current limitation system.
