In order to achieve these capabilities, the BSFCL and DVR are integrated through a common DC link as a BSFCL-DVR system. The FCL and DVR ports of the BSFCL-DVR system are located in the beginning and end of the sensitive loads\u2019 feeder integrated to the point of common coupling (PCC) in the distribution system. At first, the principle operation of the BSFCL-DVR is discussed. Then, a control system for the BSFCL-DVR system is designed to enhance the voltage quality and limit the fault current. Eventually, the efficiency of the BSFCL-DVR system is verified through the PSCAD\/EMTDC simulation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s21051615","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,26]],"date-time":"2021-02-26T04:36:24Z","timestamp":1614314184000},"page":"1615","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Protection of Sensitive Loads in Distribution Systems Using a BSFCL-DVR System"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Mehdi","family":"Firouzi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Abhar Branch, Islamic Azad University, Abhar 1584743311, Iran"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5676-1875","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Saleh","family":"Mobayen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Advanced Control Systems Laboratory, Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Zanjan, University Blvd., Zanjan 4537138791, Iran"},{"name":"Future Technology Research Center, National Yunlin University of Science and Technology, 123 University Road, Section 3, Douliou, Yunlin 64002, Taiwan"}]},{"given":"Hossein Shahbabaei","family":"Kartijkolaie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Golestan Provinace Distribution Electrical Company, Gorgan 517212, Iran"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3551-3514","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mojtaba","family":"Nasiri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Solar Energy Applications Group, Trinity College Dublin, University of Dublin, D02 PN40 Dublin, Ireland"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2254-723X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chih-Chiang","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Systems and Naval Mechatronic Engineering, National Cheng Kung University, Tainan 70101, Taiwan"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Bassan, F.R., Rosolem, J.B., Floridia, C., Aires, B.N., Peres, R., Aprea, J.F., Nascimento, C.A.M., and Fruett, F.
