The feasibility of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) Ship propulsion using superconduction magnets is reviewed in light of recent advances in high-temperature superconducting. The propulsion using a screw propeller in the noise reduction has it's own limitation. The epochal noiseless MHD propulsion method which does not have this disadvantage is studying nowadays. The subject of a marine MHD as propulsion has been examined before and was found to be interesting because of relatively low magnetic flux densities. It is demonstrated that the MHD propulsion is technically interesting with high magnetic flux density. The development of large-scale magnets using the high-temperature superconductors now under development could make it practical to construct submersibles for high-speed and silent operation.

An optimal cooling method for HTS(high Tc superconductor) current leads has been analytically sought to minimize the required refrigerator power. The binary current lead is a series combination of a normal metal conductor at the warmer part and an HTS at the colder part. The lead is cooled by direct contacts with a two-stage cryocooler at the joint and at the cold end. It is clearly proven that there exists unique optimal values for the joint temperature and the current density to minimize the refrigerator power per unit current. the actual power input to the cryocooler in the optimal conditions is compared with its thermodynamic limit, and some significant issues in practical design are presented with a useful graphical method.

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.

HTS(High Temperature Superconductor) cable has a high possibility of practical use due to the possibility of low voltage and high capacity transmission caused by its lower power loss than copper cable. On the other hand, when fault current occurred, resistance increase caused by superconductivity loss, the amount of power supplies has diminished, furthermore, it's necessary to take the possible danger of damage to HITS cable into account. Therefore, an effective plan for dealing with the above problem is to link HITS cable to SFCL. In this study, we researched the possibilities of normal transport current as well as the safety of HITS cable by analyzing the properties of transport current in HITS cable connected with SFCL.

During the past few years, a great deal of attention has been directed to the application of superconductivity to the electrical systems such as superconducting power transmission lines, superconducting magnet energy storage and so on. Yet in order to develop the practical model of these electrical equiqments utilizing suprconductivety and other phenomena at cryogenic temperautre, it is necessary to know the dielectric behaviour of insulating materials at cryogenic temperature in view of reliability, safety and economy of these machines. Investigation of dielectric properties of cryogenic liquids is very important due to the dual role of those as the dielectric and cooling medium. In this study, we investigated results measured over several kinds of dielectric characteristics of liquid nitrogen taking into consideration for application of high Tc superconductor. Dependence of breakdown voltage of gap width, polarity and pressure is reported in this paper and time delay characteristics of breakdown is also the subject of this discussion.

The MRI Magnet is a most practical application of NbTi superconductor. In this paper, we present the main research results on superconducting wires for MRI magnet which we have developed. Cu/NbTi superconducting wires were fabricated by repeat of cold working and heat-treating process after that billets were extruded. We investigated the relation of superconductivities of wires and heat treatment condition. The correlation between cross section shape of wires and work inhomogeneity of NbTi rods was investigated by microscopic observation. The more repeatation number of cold working and heat-treating process, the higher critical current is achieved.

Multilayered high-temperature superconductor coated conductor (CC) tapes are used in an extensive range of applications and are exposed to many stresses such as hoop stress, radial/transverse tensile stress under large Lorentz forces, and thermal stress while cooling if thermal expansion properties differ. Loads induced transversely at the tape surface inevitably create delamination phenomena in the multilayered CC tapes. Thus, delamination behaviors of CC tapes along the c-axis under transverse loading conditions, which can vary based on manufacturing process and constituent layers, must be characterized for applications. The anvil test method was used to mechanically investigate the delamination characteristics of various commercially available Ag-stabilized CC tapes at room temperature and 77 K, finding superior strength at the latter. The wide variations found depended on tape structure and fabrication technique. Fractographic morphologies of delaminated tapes supported the findings under transverse loading conditions.

High temperature superconductor (HTS) tapes are now commercially available for practical applications to apply various purposes. However HTS tapes show different electrical and mechanical characteristics, according to the manufacturers who are trying to apply various fabrication processes and treatments. From the viewpoint of an application it is very important to investigate the properties of HTS tapes under mechanical stress because the tapes will be wound with twisting and tension in applications such as magnets and cables. Thus, we studied characteristics of HTS tapes and measure critical current under bending, considering of a mechanical conditions. A description of some typical results will be presented with discussions.

Superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) is an power device of a novel concept. While SFCLs generate no ohmic loss during the operation carrying normal currents, they can limit fault currents very fast making large impedance by their quench characteristics. In 2006, KEPCO has developed a distribution class hybrid type SFCL by a collaborative research project with LS industrial systems. The SFCL has merits in practical and economical points of view. In the SFCL, the superconductor just plays a role of a fault detector and the current limiting is completed by the other current limiting element made of normal metals throu호 the line commutation. As a result, the required amounts of superconductors can be reduced considerably. Consequently, the hybrid SFCL can be fabricated with small size and cost, maintaining perfect current limiting performance. Currently, KEPCO is carrying out a research project at Gochang power test center for the purpose of the verification test of the 22.9 kV/ 630 A class SFCL for the practical application in real grid. Through the project, a long term operational test and fault current test will be done. In this paper, the back ground of development and installation of the SFCL will be explained and the operation plan of the SFCL for the verification test is also introduced.

BSCCO HTS(High Temperature Superconductor) could be applied to superconducting cable, magnet and motor, using its hight critical properties. Especially, superconducting cable has a hight possibility of practical use due to the possibility of low voltage and high capacity transmission caused by its lower power loss than copper cable. In this paper, the transport characteristics of BSCCO superconducting cable, according to the change of BSCCO superconducting cable's accident point at phase $0^{\circ}$ and $45^{\circ}C$, were analyzed and compared each other. Consequently, when the accident was occur the resistance of the HTS was higher at the point phase $0^{\circ}$ than $45^{\circ}$ which means it will cause much higher load on the HTS.
