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 $945^{\circ}C$.

We studied the operating properties of resistive and inductive SFCLS with 100 $\Omega$ of quench impedance for a three-phase-fault in the 154 kV transmission system. The fault simulation at the phase angles 0$^{\circ}$ , 45$^{\circ}$ , and 90$^{\circ}$ showed that the resistive SFCL limited the fault current less than 16 kA without any DC component after one half cycle from the instant of the fault. On the other hand, the inductive SFCL suppressed the current below 11 kA, but with 3-4 kA of DC component which decreased to zero in 5 cycles. We concluded that the inductive SFCL had higher performance in current limiting but the resistive SFCL was better from the view point of DC components.

The superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) system which has characteristics of high efficiency and rapid response is a way to maximize a utility's generation and transmission capacity. But SMES is required for much capital and operating cost. Therefore, It is important to determine the optimal size of SMES for constructing and operating. In this paper, we proposed a method of determinating an optimal size of a large scale of SMES for energy storage and a small scale of SMES for stabilizing power system.

Electrical transmission and distribution networks must withstand an occasionally abnormal condition such as a fault, with prejudicial consequences for the line, transformers or generators. And the improvement of reliability and quality of the delivered power from an electric utility motivates the development of new technologies in power applications. As a part of these studies, the usefulness and utility of a superconduction fault current limiter(SFCL) are shown. The SFCL is applied to 22.9KV three-phase power system and performed short circuit studies. The verified quench characteristic of SFCL is adopted for fault simulation and the results are compared with those of system which have not SFCL.

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 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 renewable energy source is considered as a good measure to cope with the global warming problem and the fossil energy exhaustion. The construction of electric power plant such as an offshore wind farm is rapidly increasing and this trend is expected to be continued during this century. The bulky and long distance power transmission media is essential to support and promote the sustainable expansion of renewable energy source. DC power cable is generally considered as the best solution and the demand for DC electric power has been rapidly increasing. Especially, the high temperature superconducting (HTS) DC cable system begins to make a mark because of its advantages of huge power transmission capacity, low transmission loss and other environmental friendly aspects. Technical contents of DC HTS cable system are very similar to those of AC HTS cable system. However the DC HTS cable can be operated near its critical current if the heat generation is insignificant, while the operating current of AC HTS cable is generally selected at about 50~70% of the critical current because of AC loss. We chose the specifications of the cable core of 'Tres Amigas' project as an example for our study and investigated the heat generation when the DC HTS cable operated near the critical current by some electric and thermal analyses. In this paper, we listed some technical issues on the design of the DC HTS cable core and described the process of the cable core design. And the results of examination on the current capacity, heat generation, harmonic loss and current distribution properties of the DC HTS cable are introduced.

The application of the superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) in a power distribution system is expected to contribute the voltage-sag suppression of the bus line as well as the fault-current reduction of the fault line. However, the application effects of the SFCL on the voltage sag of the bus line including the fault current are dependent on its application location in a power distribution system. In this paper, we investigated the fault current limiting and the voltage sag suppressing characteristics of the SFCL due to its application location such as the outgoing point of the feeder, the bus line, the neutral line and the 2nd side of the main transformer in a power distribution system, and analyzed the trace variations of the bus-voltage and fault-feeder current. The simulated power distribution system, which was composed of the universal power source, two transformers with the parallel connection and the impedance load banks connected with the 2nd side of the transformer through the power transmission lines, was constructed and the short-circuit tests for the constructed system were carried out. Through the analysis on the short-circuit tests for the simulated power distribution system with the SFCLs applied into its representative locations, the effects from the SFCL's application on the power distribution system were discussed from the viewpoints of both the suppression of the bus-voltage sag and the reduction of the fault current.

The technology of supplying the electric power by wireless power transfer (WPT) is expected for the next generation power feeding system since it can supply the power to portable devices without any connectors through large air gap. As such a technology based on strongly coupled electromagnetic resonators is possible to deliver the large power and recharge them seamlessly; it has been considered as a noble option to wireless power charging system in the various power applications. Recently, various HTS wires have now been manufactured for demonstrations of transmission cables, motors, MAGLEV, and other electrical power components. However, since the HTS magnets have a lower index n value intrinsically, they are required to be charged from external power system through leads or internal power system. The portable area is limited as well as the cryogen system is bulkier. Thus, we proposed a novel design of wireless power charging system for superconducting HTS magnet (WPC4SM) based on resonance coupling method. As the novel system makes possible a wireless power charging using copper resonance coupled coils, it enables to portable charging conveniently in the superconducting applications. This paper presented the conceptual design and operating characteristics of WPC4SM using different shapes' copper resonance coil. The proposed system consists of four components; RF generator of 370 kHz, copper resonance coupling coils, impedance matching (IM) subsystem and HTS magnet including rectifier system.

Ion cyclotron range of frequency (ICRF) heating system is an important auxiliary heating method in the experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST). In EAST, several megawatts of power are transmitted with coaxial transmission lines and coupled to the plasma. For the long pulse and high power operation of the ICRF waves heating system, it is very important to effectively control the power and initial phase of the ICRF signals. In this paper, a power and phase feedback control system is described based on field programmable gate array (FPGA) devices, which can realize complicated algorithms with the advantages of fast running and high reliability. The transmitted power and antenna phase are measured by a power and phase detector and digitized. The power and phase feedback control algorithms is designed to achieve the target power and antenna phase. The power feedback control system was tested on a dummy load and during plasma experiments. Test results confirm that the feedback control system can precisely control ICRF power and antenna phase and is robust during plasma variations.

국내의 전력계통은 급격한 산업화와 급속적인 경제발전으로 산업시설 및 대도시 인구 밀집지역의 전력수요가 지속적으로 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 전력 사용량의 증가는 각종 전력설비들의 증설을 필요로 하고 있지만 도심지의 경우는 제한된 공간에 설비 증설의 공간확보에도 큰 어려움을 겪고 있다. 또한, 국내 154[kV]나 345[kV]의 송전계통의 구조는 송전거리가 짧고, 전력공급 신뢰성과 안정도 향상을 위해 서로 네트워크화 되어있다. 이러한 구조는 전력계통 사고발생시 임피던스 감소를 야기시키고 단락사고에 의한 사고 전류의 크기를 점점 증가시키고 있다. 이와 같은 기존방식의 문제들을 효과적으로 해결하기 위한 방안으로 고안된 것이 초전도 한류기이다. 초전도 한류기는 사고 전류에 대한 빠른 동작 및 회복시간과 별도의 사고 감지장치를 불필요하며 신개념의 보호기기이며 환경 친화적인 장점 때문에 국 내외적으로 많은 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다 본 논문에서는 결선방법에 따라 초기사고전류특성, 전류제한특성, 사고각, 인덕턴스 변화에 따른 전류제한 특성을 다각적인 방법으로 분석하였다.
