Impedance sources (Z sources) with inherent fault protection for resilient and fire-free electricity grids.

ABSTRACT: Modern societies would not survive without electricity and at the same time electrical faults could cause and have caused many catastrophes-mainly deadly fires-to our societies. There are two types of electricity sources: the voltage source such as generators, charged batteries and capacitors, and the current source such as charged inductors, current-regulated rectifiers, and superconducting magnetic energy storage. An "ideal" voltage source-that is often-sought-or-intentionally engineered-generates a constant voltage irrespective of its load current, and an "ideal" current source injects a constant current irrespective of its load voltage. However, two problems exist: (1) voltage or current sources do not represent many emerging natural/renewable energy sources such as wind turbine genera
