An image of future power system which has introduced superconducting generator, cable, transformer, fault current limiter, SMES and so on is presented. Conceptual designs of each SC machines and devices are carried out. The SC cable and SFCL utilize the high Tc superconductor(HTS) cooled by liquid $N_2$Other devices use low temperature superconducting cooled by He. The SC power system models are proposed detailedly. In viewpoint of the operation and control SC power system, The concrete design direction and effective role of each SC apparatus are investigated. In this paper, it is pointed that superconducting fault limiters(SFCLs) should play an important part of the quenching current level coordination to prevent the other SC devices from quenching. Finially, SFCL are also expected to he very effective to introduce flexibility of power system configuration and operation due to their possibility to enhance transient stability and reduce short circuit current.

In this paper we analyzed the electromagnetic behavior of a superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) under the quench state using FEM. The analysis model used in this work is 5.5 KVA meander-line type SFCLs which are currently developed by Superconductor Power System Lab in Korea Electric Power Research Institute. Meshes of 3,650 triangular elements were used in the analysis of this SFCL. Analysis results showed that the distribution of current density was concentrated to inner curved line in meander-line type SFCL and the maximum current density was 14.61 A/$m^2$ and also the maximum Joule heat was 2,030 W/$m^2$ in this region. We think that the new and the modified structure must be considered for an uniform distribution of the electromagnetic field.

An optimal cooling method for HTS(high Tc superconductor) current leads has been analytically sought to minimize the required refrigerator power. The binary current lead is a series combination of a normal metal conductor at the warmer part and an HTS at the colder part. The lead is cooled by direct contacts with a two-stage cryocooler at the joint and at the cold end. It is clearly proven that there exists unique optimal values for the joint temperature and the current density to minimize the refrigerator power per unit current. the actual power input to the cryocooler in the optimal conditions is compared with its thermodynamic limit, and some significant issues in practical design are presented with a useful graphical method.

The concentrations of hydroxide, carbonate and oxalate for Y(III), Ba(II) and Cu(II) ions in an aqueous solution have been theoretically calcuated with respect to pH and their solubility diagram could be obtained. The optimum pH ofr oxalate coprecipitates at room temperature was estimated as<4, which was not influenced by carbonates and hydroxides in H2O solvent. The yield is dependent on the concentration of added oxalic acid, but the concentration of oxalic acid was fixed as 0.1M in this calculation for simplicity.

Bi-2212 HTS tube was fabricated by CFP(Centrifugal Forming Process). Slury was prepared in the mixing ratio of 8:2 between powder and binder and ball-milled for 24 hrs. Slurry was initially charged into the rotating mold with 300${\sim}$450 rpm and heated at the temperature ranges of 840${\sim}$860$^{\circ}$C for partial melting to finally obtain a uniformly textured tube shape. It was observed the plate-like grains with more than 20 ${\mu}$m were well oriented along the rotating axis and the measured T$_c$ was around 67K. In this paper we will discuss and analyze the tube characteristics depending on many different processing parameters such as, powder composition, binder mixing ratio between powder and binder, motor speed, heating temperature and etc.

The solid precursor produced by the dehydration of the gel at $120^{\circ}C$ for 12h is not in the amorphous state as expected but in a crystalline state. X-ray diffraction peaks of nearly the same angular position as the peaks of high Tc phase were observed in the precursor. Experimental results suggest that the intermediate phase formed before the formation of the superconducting phase may be the most important fact in determining whether it is easy to form the superconducting phase or not, because the nucleation barriers of the two superconducting phase may be altered by the variation of the crystal structures of those intermediate phase.

During the past few years, a great deal of attention has been directed to the application of superconductivity to the electrical systems such as superconducting power transmission lines, superconducting magnet energy storage and so on. Yet in order to develop the practical model of these electrical equiqments utilizing suprconductivety and other phenomena at cryogenic temperautre, it is necessary to know the dielectric behaviour of insulating materials at cryogenic temperature in view of reliability, safety and economy of these machines. Investigation of dielectric properties of cryogenic liquids is very important due to the dual role of those as the dielectric and cooling medium. In this study, we investigated results measured over several kinds of dielectric characteristics of liquid nitrogen taking into consideration for application of high Tc superconductor. Dependence of breakdown voltage of gap width, polarity and pressure is reported in this paper and time delay characteristics of breakdown is also the subject of this discussion.

현 단계에서도 임계전류밀도가 약 $100A/mm^2$로 충분히 높아 전력분야 응용이 기대되는 Bi-2223테이프에 대한 교류손실을 초전도 전력기기의 실제 상황을 고려하여 측정하였다. 중요한 평가 결과로서는 먼저 통전손실 특성은 외부 교류자장의 세기뿐만 아니라 방향에 따라서도 매우 상이하였으며, 비교적 외부자장이 큰 경우는 동저항손실 메카니즘이, 작은 경우는 그 외의 또 다른 손실 메카니즘이 지배적이었다. 또한 수평자장에 대한 자화손실 특성은 코아 모델로부터 계산된 손실과 비교적 잘 일치하였다. 따라서 자화손실은 히스테리시스 손실 메카니즘이 지배적이라 할 수 있으며, 측정된 자화손실은 저온 초전도체에서는 볼 수 없었던 약한 주파수 의존성을 보였을 뿐만 아니라 외부자장의 세기에 따라서도 주파수 의존 특성이 상이하였다.

Almost single phase of Y1Ba2Cu3Ox, which exhibits the onset of superconducting transition at 90K, has been prepared via a conventional ceramic processing route followed by an anneal for a period of 10 hours at 45$0^{\circ}C$ in an atmosphere of 100% O2. The mean value for the oxygen content has been determined as x=6.85$\pm$0.02 by an iodometric titration technique. X-ray photoemission spectra are found to be consistent with a mixture of the d8(Cu3+) and d9(Cu2+) as the ground state and reveals that the local concentration of Cu3+ decreases with depth from the surface where x corresponds to 7.0. This is explained as being associated with the intercalation of oxygen during cooling from the annealing temperature.

YBa2Cu3O7-x oxide superconductors were fabricated by sintering and hotisostatic pressing (HIP), and their microstructures and properties were compared with each other. Thougha part of the second phase was observed along grain boundaries, their structures were consisted of single (123) phase and they had many porosities. But, porosities were remakably reduced by Hiping and the densification was brought about. The structure of (123) compound also showed a number of twins, which are typical of high Tc superconductors. The on-set temperature of YBa2Cu3O7-x compound sintered at 96$0^{\circ}C$ in oxygen and hipped at 88$0^{\circ}C$ was highest, but that shwoed 0 resistance at 87$^{\circ}$K, which is a little lower than the compound sintered at 96$0^{\circ}C$. HIP treatment also increased the critical current density of as-sintered compound. However, its value was low, which may be ascribed to the many pores of starting-sintered compact and partially to the second phase along grain boundaries.
