With the advancement of superconductor materials, especially in HTC YBCO(Gen II), the feasibility of SMES in power systems become much higher than previous days application[1]. Also, with the de-regulation of electricity market, it is indispensable to have a proper estimation of power quality index and power quality cost calcluation mechanism to stabilize highly industrialized society and to vitalize the investment for electric power system. This paper suggests a comprehensive algorithm[2] to determine the policy of SMES investment with the PQ Indices[3] based on aggregated load CBEMA curve reflecting the voltage characteristics such as volatge sags and interruptions which make electric load in unstable operation.

High temperature superconducting (HTS) target has been irradiated by excimer laser beam. The surface of HTS target has been changed and showed the formation of cones. The laser ablated HTS target surface has been systematically studied using a scanning electron microscope. A KrF excimer laser with a wavelength of 248 nm was used to ablate the HTS YBCO target. The size of laser beam focused on the target showed a rectangular shape of $9.7{\times}2\;mm^2$. The image of SEM shows the difference between the shapes of cones fanned at the boundary and at the center of the ablated area after 1,000 laser pulses.

물리적 힘에 의한 초전도 분말의 균일한 표면 확보 및 고밀도화 가 필요하다. 그러나 전기영동전착법의 특성상 물리적 힘에 의한 고밀도화에 어려움이 따르고 전착후막의 기공과 크랙현상을 발생시키는 단점으로 인하여 전기영동전착법에 의한 입자의 고밀도화를 위해서는 전착과정에서 현탁분말입자의 치밀성 및 일정한 방향성을 위한 공정기술이 요구된다. 전기영동법에 의한 초전도 후막의 특성을 향상시키기 위한 방법으로 DC전계인가 와 AC보조전계 인가방식에 공정이 있으며 이들 두 공정에 의해 제작된 후막의 특성을 비교 분석하고 두 공정기술에 따른 최적화 방안을 연구 하였다. YBCO 초전도 후막의 균일한 표면과 초전도특성 향상을 위한 공정개선방법으로는 수직방향 교류전계 인가 방식을 적용한 공정기술을 전기영동전착 공정에 적용하였다.

Inductive high-Tc superconducting fault current limiter using YBCO superconducting ring in the secondary part has many advantages in power networks. It is based on the superconducting to normal transition and this paper describes its operational characteristics and experimental results, especially focused on the harmonic component analysis and recovery time. We fabricated and tested it under various conditions for the analysis of transient fault characteristics. And for the analysis of harmonics we used FFT methods. The superconducting ring was quenched in 240Arms and fault current was effectively limited to the lower current level. In addition, it was fast recovered when the fault condition was removed and after fault the system had odd harmonics.

Quadrupole coupling constants of $^{63}$CU in the high $T_c$ superconductor $YBa_2Cu_3O_7_{-x}$, as determined by NQR or NMR studies, are compared with the values for representative Cu(Ⅱ) complexes determined by analyzing the forbidden lines in their EPR spectra. It is shown that the two NQR lines at 22 and 31 MHz correpsond to the quadrupole coupling constants of a square planar Cu(Ⅱ) complex and a square pyramidal Cu(Ⅱ) complex, respectively.t This result is in agreement with the assignment of these lines to Cu(1) and Cu(2) sites in YBCO based on the NMR spectra of oriented single crystals.

We describe methods for depositing high temperature superconducting films on textured metal tapes by reactive co-evaporation (RCE). We discuss how RCE can be used to deposit on moving tape in a continuous fashion in a Garching-style process. Results are presented on films deposited by RCE at Los Alamos on IBAD-MgO textured tapes. The performance achieved, attaining over 500A/cm-width in self-field at 75.5 K, is competitive with the best results obtained by other processes for coated conductors. Tape production throughput is critical for the economics of the process and high deposition rates achieved in RCE are attractive for this. We present a detailed cost analysis model for HTS deposition using an RCE Garching process. The results indicate that HTS deposition can cost $<$5/kA{\cdot}m$ in a scaled up manufacturing environment.

We propose a replication method to solve the problem of large percent failure in texturing processes of coated conductors. This problem is due to the individual texturing process for each coated conductor that is very long tape having no single defect spot. We tested two different methods of replication process that are based on a well-textured Ni template. First method has structure of Ni/BaO/STO/$CeO_2$/SmBCO/Ag. So BaO layer is dissolved in water that we can separate STO/$CeO_2$/SmBCO/Ag layers. In this processing, the property of STO is conserved but the superconductivity of SmBCO is deteriorated. So we can consider another method. Second method has structure of template(STO)/BaO/STO/Pt/STO. After dissolving BaO then we deposited YBCO. The result of these experiments showed the feasibility of replication.

Biaxially textured Ni was fabricated by electrodeposition process and delaminated from the biaxially textured cathode surface for further buffer layer deposition process. Those electrode posited Ni substrates showed well-developed biaxial texture and smooth surface. In order to improve the thermal stability of Ni substrates, Mn was alloyed by adding Mn precursor into the electrodeposition bath. Subsequently, $CeO_2$ buffer layers are deposited by MOD process to prevent interfacial reaction between superconductor and substrates. In particular, Bismuth oxide was added to $CeO_2$ to realize lower temperature processing of buffer layers. The microstructure and texture development of each layers have been investigated. Preliminary results shows that all electro/chemical process can be a candidate for cost effective route to YBCO coated conductor.

A-axis oriened YBCO thin flims were grown on $LaAIO_{3}$ single crystal substrate by off-axis rf magnetron sputtering method. We used two kinds of process to get a-axis oriented fi1ms;one-step process and two-step process. In one-step process, films are grown in single step in which substrate temperature( $T_s$) is in the range of $590^{\circ}C$ to $680^{\circ}C$. On the other hand, in two step process a-axis oriented thin film templates i f about 30nm thickness is deposited at low temperature first, and subsequently films are grown at elevated temperature to the final thickness of about 100nm. In the case of one step process($T_s$ ~)$600^{\circ}C$), prefered a-axis orientation is dominant and Cu-rich phases segregate at the surface. Segregations decrease and ($00 \ell$) peaks increase upon increasing $T_s$. The films prepared by two step method appeared to have strong(h00) peaks as the deposition rate increased. Microstructure shows pin holes resulted from mixed phases of a-axis and c-axis oriented films. In both cases of one step and two step process, as TS decreases, prepared films show stronger a-axis orientation. However electrical properties of the films are depressed with lower $T_c$ and wider $\Delta T$ as $T_s$ decreases.
