We fabricated YBCO coated conductors (CCs) by TFA-MOD process and evaluated microstructure, texture formation, and critical temperature ($T_c$) and current ($I_c$). YBCO precursor solution was synthesized using metal-trifluoroacetates and dip coated on $LaAlO_3$(LAO) substrate. The phase formation and microstructure was characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and the degree of texture was evaluated by pole-figure analysis. The CC was heat-treated in various calcining temperatures ($370^{\circ}C-460^{\circ}C$) and firing temperatures ($750^{\circ}C-800^{\circ}C$). As fired at $775^{\circ}C$ for 4h, the CC had the highest $T_c$ of 89.5 K and $I_c$ of 40 A/cm-width ($J_c=2.0\;MA/cm^2$). Microstructural observation indicated that the YBCO film was dense and homogeneous and had a strong cube texture without formation of second phase and its in-plane full-width at half-maxima; $5.2^{\circ}$ under optimum condition.

We investigated the fault current characteristics of the separates three-phase flux-lock type superconducting fault current limiter(SFCL) according to the variation of inductances. The single-phase flux-lock type SFCL consists of two coils. The primary coil is wound in parallel to the secondary coil on an iron core. And superconductor is series connected on secondary coil. Superconductor is using the YBCO coated conductor. The separated three-phase flux-lock type SFCL consists of single-phase flux-phase type SFCL in each phase. To analyze the current limiting characteristics of a three-phase flux-lock type SFCL, the short circuit experiments were carried out fault such as the triple line-to-ground fault. The experimental result shows that fault current limiting characteristics of additive polarity winding was better than subtractive polarity winding and when the inductances of coil 2 was lower, resistances of YBCO CC was more generated.

The critical current, $I_c$, degradation behaviors with bending strain were investigated in a commercially available YBCO coated conductor tape. In particular, the strain reversibility of $I_c$ and the influence of repeated bending on $I_c$ have been studied. Also, repeated bending at 77 K was done in order to understand the Ie behavior under cyclic bending strains. A reversible behavior of $I_c$ has been found up to a high bending strain of 1.60% for the RABiTS/MOD processed CC sample with copper reinforcement. Under repeated bending, the Ie showed a 95% $I_c$ retention up to 100 cycles for bending strains of 1.0% or less. The n-value behavior showed a good agreement with the $I_c$ degradation behavior, representing that any cracking did not occur on the YBCO film resulting from the reinforcement provided by the copper stabilizers.

To reduce the magnetization loss of a coated conductor, the striation and the transposition have to be accomplished for magnetic decoupling. The loss reduction effect in incomplete as well as complete striated YBCO CCs was reported in previous research. At the case of the incomplete striated sample, the end region of the sample is non-striated. So, it is not jointed with each other. In power applications, the joint is needed because current leads must be connected with HTS coils. In this research, the influence of end-joint methods with copper and superconducting joint on magnetization loss in striated YBCO CC and spiral winding samples are presented and compared with non-striated measured result.

This paper deals with an efficient superconducting joint method between 2G high superconducting(HTS) wire, YBCO coated conductor(CC). Recently CC is one of the most promising superconducting wire due to high n-value and critical current independency from external magnetic field. It is expected to be used many superconducting application such as fault current limiter, persistent current system and cable etc. In most HTS applications, superconducting magnet is used, and it is necessary to joint between superconducting wire to fabricate superconducting magnet system. A CC tape used in this research consists of copper stabilizer, silver layer, YBCO layer, buffer and substrate. Direct joint using soldering method was inefficient due to resistance of copper, then copper lamination is removed by chemical etching method to reduce resistance between CC tapes. Jointed tapes were fabricated and tested. Transport current through jointed area and induced voltage were measured to characterize the I-V curve. Resistance between CC wire using chemical etching was compared with resistance of direct jointed tapes using soldering method in this paper.

현재 전력 계통에서 발생하는 고장 전류에 대한 해결책으로 초전도전력기기인 고온초전도 한류기가 실용화를 눈앞에 두고 있다. 그러나, 실제 계통에 적용하기에는 몇 가지의 과제들이 아직 남아있다. 그 중에서도 한류소자의 회복속도는 고장전류 발생 후 계통의 재폐로와 연계되기 위한 중요한 성능 요소라고 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 초전도 한류 소자로 쓰일 수 있는 다양한 YBCO CC(Coated Conductor)들의 회복 시간에 대하여 실험을 통하여 연구하였다. 10 mA의 전류를 초전도선재에 지속적으로 인가하여, 고장전류 인가 후 발생하는 저항에 의한 전압의 추이를 관찰하여 회복 시간을 예측하였다. 그 후, 예측된 회복 시간 후 전류를 재투입하여 선재의 회복을 확인하였고, 실제 회복 시간과 비교하고 분석하였다

현재 고온 초전도전력기기를 실용화하는데 교류손실이 문제가 되고 있다. 이러한 교류손실을 저감하기위해서 선재를 분할하는 방법에 대한 연구가 진행중이다. 분할된 초전도선재의 각 필라멘트의 전류분류가 일정하지 않을 경우 필라멘트의 임계전류 이상이 인가될 수 있다. 따라서 각 필라멘트에 흐르는 전류를 측정하여야 한다. 그러나 초전도선재의 필라멘트 각각의 전류를 측정하기는 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 초전도선재의 필라멘트의 각각의 전류를 비접촉 방식으로 측정할 수 있는 서치코일을 이용한 방법을 제안하였고 실험을 통해 이를 확인하였다.
