Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) can inject or absorb real and reactive power to or from a power system at a very fast rate on a repetitive basis. These characteristics make the application of SMES ideal for transmission grid control and stability enhancement. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the SMES model and scheme to control the active and reactive power through the power electronic device. Furthermore, an optimal priority scheme is proposed for the combination of active and reactive power control to be able to stabilize power transient swings.

We have performed an EMTDC simulation for the current limiting effects of a superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL). The fault currents in the 154 kV transmission line between the arbitrary S1 and S2 substations increased up to 54 KA and 60 KA during the line-to-line and three phase faults, respectively. The SFCL with 100$\omega$ of resistance after quench limited the currents to less than 17 KA within a half cycle. This limited current is well below the upper limit of a circuit breaker, suggesting that the resistance of the SFCL in the transmission line is sufficient.

We have performed an EMTDC simulation for the current limiting effects of a superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL). The fault currents in the 154 kV transmission line between the arbitrary S1 and S2 substations increased up to 39 kA during the single and double line-to-ground faults, respectively. The SFCL in the transmission line is sufficient.

Superconducting transmission power cable is one of interesting parts in power application using high temperature superconducting wire. One of important parameters in high-temperature superconducting (HTSC) cable design is transport current distribution because it is related with current transmission capacity and ac loss. In this paper, the transport current and magnetic field distributions at conducting layers were investigated through the analysis of the equivalent circuit for HTSC power cable with shield layer. The transport current distribution due to the pitch length and winding direction was improved in case of HTSC power cable with shield layer.

According to the rapid growth of transmission power, fault current level approaches to the maximum capacity of circuit breaker. This paper has been proposed a superconducting current limiter (SCL) to reduce the fault current to appropriate level. Superconductor for SCL has been examined and design criterion of each triggering method has been shown. Superconducting current limiter was fabricated using thin film and switching characteristics were shown, where thermal and current triggering were adopted.

The inductance difference between conducting layers of high-Tc superconducting (HTSC) power transmission cable causes the current sharing of each conducting layer to be unequal, which decreases the current transmission capacity of HTSC power cable. Therefore, the design for even current sharing in HTSC power transmission cable is required. In this paper, we investigated the current distribution of HTSC power cable with a shield layer dependent on the pitch length and the winding direction of each layer. To analyze the effect of the shield layer on the current sharing of the conducting layers of HTSC power cable, the current distribution of HTSC power cable without a shield layer was compared with the case of HTSC power cable with a shield layer. It could be found through the analysis from the computer simulations that the shield layer of HTSC power cable could be contributed to the improvement of current distribution of conducting layers at the specific pitch length and the winding direction of conducting layer. The result and discussion for the current distribution calculated for HTSC power transmission cable with a shield layer were presented and compared with the cable without a shield layer.

An electromagnetic memory effect observed in superconducting YBCO system was studied. From the measurement of differential conductance, it was cleared that the mechanism of electromagnetic memory can not be explained by using conventional flux flow model. By changing the density of external magnetic flux, changes in inductance of a coil in which a superconducting bar is inserted were also measured. It was concluded that the electromagnetic memory effect aries from the interaction between the trapped magnetic flux and the weak link of the filament formed in the superconducting bar.

We have performed an EMTDC simulation for the current limiting effects of a superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) for the 154 kV transmission line between the Gaepo and Sungnam substations. The fault current increased up to 39 kA during an artificial ground fault. The SFCL with 100 ${\Omega}$ impedance after quench limited the current to 15 kA within a half cycle. This limited current is well below the upper limit of a circuit breaker, suggesting that the impedance of the SFCL in the transmission line is sufficient.

Superconducting transmission cable is one of interesting part in power application using high temperature superconducting wire as transformer. One important parameter in HTS cable design is transport current distribution because it is related with current transmission capacity and loss. In this paper, we calculate inductance and current distribution for 4-layer cable using the electric circuit model and compare calculation results of transport current losses by monoblock model and Norris equation

Demands for electricity are growing, whereas the rate of electricity infrastructure's construction declines gradually. To keep the balance of the demand and supply, the share of underground transmission line will be increased from 8.3% to 10.5% in 2020 but it will be accompanied with enormous public expenses. A great concern in high capacity transmission is on the increase so as to maximize the spacial efficiency. High Temperature Superconducting (HTS) cable is in the lime light which has the merits of environment-friendly, low transmission loss and high transmission with low voltage, but the reliability verification as a power system is yet to be solved. KEPCO completed the installation and acceptance of $3{\phi}$, 22.9kV, 1250A class HTS cable system in 2006 and the long term test is in progress. The test results focusing on long term reliability are presented in this paper.
