High T$_{c}$ superconducting lines will be applied as key materials in the areas of power transmission line; magnetic levitation of vehicle; magnetic separation; magnetic energy storage and marine propulsion. A combination method of electrophoresis deposition and zone-melting for preparation of YBaCuO tape is proposed. The submicron particle powder of YBaCuO made by sol-gel method is used in the electrophoresis process. A 40~50${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ thickness of YBaCuO film on Ag plate could be deposited in about three minutes. After deposition the film is rolled and heat treated in order to increase the density and the adhesion of the film to the Ag plate. Silver(Ag) and lead oxide(PbO) were added in the YBaCuO powder in order to reduce its melting point. The YBaCuO coating with controlled Ag and PbO contents was preliminarily zone-melted at about 945$^{\circ}C$.>.

This paper deals with simulation of the three-phase dc reactor type fault current limiter(FCL). This is a preliminary step to develop the FCL's faculties for an application to high voltage transmission line. A three-phase dc reactor type FCL consists of transformers, diodes, and a superconducting coil. By this simulation for the short-circuit test we can investigate the safety of FCL's elements. And, result of simulation will contribute parameter toward optimal design.

This paper summarizes the feasibility study of HTS power cables in Korea, including the conceptual design of a 154 kV 1000 MVA class HTS cable system, and the relative economic evaluations between conventional and HTS cable systems in Seoul area. According to the results of the economic evaluations, the HTS cable system can reduce the construction work for 168km of underground transmission lines, saving 700 million USD of construction cost in 2010.

This paper deals with the operational characteristics of the three-phase modified bridge type fault current limiter(FCL) for 3.3kV/200A power system. This is a preliminary step to develop the FCL's faculties for an application to high voltage transmission line. A three-phase modified bridge type FCL consists of transformers, diodes, and a high-Tc superconducting coil. As the results of simulations, when the FCL of 1.5H inductance was installed in the power system. the fault current was reduced to be about 90% of that without FCL.

For large scale applications of high temperature superconductor (HTS) such as transmission cables, motors and generators, long length of flexible HTS conductor is required. Currently, Bi-2223 HTS tape is capable of being fabricated in longer than 100 m length by industrial processes. In this study, we fabricated 100 m 19 filamentary Bi-2223 ($Bi_{1.8}Pb_{0.4}Sr_2Ca_2O_{10+x}$) HTS tape by PIT (Power in Tube) process. Critical current(IC) of this long length tape was measured 18.5 A at 77K, self field. Critical current of 100 m length tape was mainly resulted from the increase of inhomogeneity in oxide from the increase of inhomogeneity in oxide layer. Engineering critical current (Je=Ic/total tape cross-section area) that is important factor for practical applications and fabrication cost was measured 2.2 kA/cm2.

The power demand is steadily increasing due to rapidly develop of industrial field. The ratio of prospected increment of power consumption is over 2.2 % per year from 2007 to 2020 year. The superconducting fault current limiters(SFCLs) should be suggested to be one of promising machines to protect power grid. Four basis tests such as resistivity, short-circuit tests, ac losses and recovery time were investigated according to various reached maximum temperature, operating temperature. This paper deals with investigation of the various commercial high temperature superconductor for applying resistive type SFCLs.

As power demand increases gradually, the call for underground transmission system increases. But it is very difficult and high in cost to construct new ducts and/or tunnels for power cables in metropolitan areas. HTS (High Temperature Superconducting) cable has the several useful characteristics such as increased power density, stronger magnetic fields and/or reduced losses. Therefore HTS cable can allow more power to be moved in existing ducts, which means very large economical and environmental benefits. In these days, companies world-wide have conducted researches on HTS cable. A development project for a 22.9kV class HTS cable is proceeding at a research center and university in Korea. In this paper, we investigate the expected price of HTS cable to have a merit in viewpoint of economic aspect. First, life-cycle cost of conventional cable is calculated and based on this, the expected price of HTS cable is evaluated, which HTS cable is competitive against conventional cable.

The transmission system is designed to be protected by 40 kA rate of circuit breaker fer 345 tV system and 31.5 kA and 50 kA rate of circuit breaker for 154 kV system. The short circuit current shows the tendency of exceeding circuit breaker duty for some substations and the tendency will continue if an appropriate countermeasure will not be applied to. In order to solve this problem from the viewpoint of system operation, the 154 kV system is under reconfiguration to be radial systems. This paper presents application effect of resistive and inductive SCFL (Superconducting Fault Current Limiter to Korea power systems. An algorithm of SCFL site decision is suggested.
