TLDR
In this article, the authors describe the planning, development and demonstration of solid-state 13 kV distribution class circuit breakers, which can instantaneously transfer sensitive loads from a normal supply that experiences a disturbance to an alternate supply that is unaffected by the disturbance.Abstract:
Advanced current interruption technology, utilizing high power solid-state circuit breakers, offers a viable solution to most of the distribution system problems that result in voltage sags, swells, and power outages. Solid-state, fast acting (sub-cycle) breakers can instantaneously transfer sensitive loads from a normal supply that experiences a disturbance to an alternate supply that is unaffected by the disturbance. Here, the authors describe the planning, development and demonstration of solid-state 13 kV distribution class circuit breakers.read more

Introducing custom power
TL;DR: The concept of custom power is now becoming familiar as mentioned in this paper and it describes the value-added power that electric utilities and other service providers will offer their customers in the future The improved level of reliability of this power, in terms of reduced interruptions and less variation, will stem from an integrated solution to present problems, of which a prominent feature will be the application of power electronic controllers to utility distribution systems and/or at the supply end of many industrial and commercial customers and industrial parks.

Development of a prototype solid-state fault-current limiting and interrupting device for low-voltage distribution networks
TL;DR: In this article, a solid-state fault current limiting and interrupting device (FCLID) is proposed for low-voltage distribution networks, where the main components of the FCLID are a bidirectional semiconductor switch that can disrupt the short-circuit current and a voltage clamping element that helps to control the current and absorb the inductive energy stored in the network during current interruption.
