Superconducting synchronous motors and generators have the field coil composed of superconductor with almost zero resistance at superconducting state. Therefore, copper loss at the conventional field coil is eliminated and the superconducting machine gets higher efficiency. The armature coil of the superconducting machine is composed of copper wire and supported by non-magnetic material such as FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic) This paper contains the design Procedure of a 1MW superconducting synchronous motor using high-temperature superconductor only for the field coil. Especially, the armature coil is designed by water-cooling in order to dissipate Joule heat easily. Moreover, 3-dimensional electromagnetic design is conducted to get a proper design result and reduce design errors from 2-dimensional approach.

A Protomodel Space Infrared Cryogenic System (PSICS) cooled by a stirling cryocooler was designed. The PSICS has an IR sensor inside a cold box which is cooled by a stilting cryocooler with refrigeration capacity of 500mw at 80K in a vacuum vessel. It is important to minimize heat load for reducing background thermal noise. In order to design the cryogenic system of low heat load and to reduce heat load, we did several numerical analyses and tested using boil-off calorimetry with liquid nitrogen to measure the heat leak of the system. In this paper, we present the results obtained by thermal analysis and heat load measurement for designing the PSICS.

본 논문에서는 첨단 정밀 전자장치의 신뢰성 시험을 위해 사용하는 온도시험 장비의 오동작이 발생이 되면, 시험담당자에게 문자메시지를 통해 현재 시험장비가 오동작 중임을 알릴 수 있는 시스템을 제안한다. 제안시스템은 기존에 오픈 소스를 이용한 시험장비의 오동작 여부를 모니터를 하는 시스템에 시험담당자에게 이 사실을 SMS로 전달하는 시스템을 추가한 것이다. 정밀 전자장치는 출고전에 온도시험 장비를 사용하여 설정한 저온, 고온 온도 상황에서 각각 정상적으로 장치가 동작하는지의 여부를 확인하게 된다. 만약 이 상황하에서 온도 시험장비가 설정한 저온의 온도 이하 혹은 설정한 고온의 온도 이상 등의 오동작이 발생되면, 수억원에 이르는 고가의 시험대상 제품이 손상을 입어 폐기하는 경우가 생긴다. 제안한 시스템은 시험 운용자가 자리를 비우는 야간에 특히 유용한 시스템으로서 온도시험장비와 별도의 전원을 사용하여 그 신뢰성을 높이는 장점을 가진다.

A 154 kV class high temperature superconducting (HTS) power cable system is developing in Korea. For insulation design or this cable, the grading method of insulating paper is proposed. The use of graded insulation gives improved bending properties of the cable. Therefore, we discussed the electrical stress distribution and calculation for grading insulation design of a HTS cable. Also. the basic insulation design of 154 kV class HTS power cable was done.

In Korea, 22.9kV 50MVA HTS (High Temperature Superconducting) cables and 630A/3kA hybrid SFCLs (Superconducting Fault Current Limiters) have been or are being developed by LS Cable, LS Industrial System, and Korea Electric Power Research Institute. They will be installed at Icheon 154kV Substation for real-power-distribution-system operation in 2010. This paper proposes specification of current limiting resistor/reactor for the SFCL and fault current condition of the HTS cable for applying the superconducting devices to Korean power distribution system, from the viewpoint of power system protection.

In the response to the demand for electrical energy, much effort was given to develop and commercialize high temperature superconducting (HTS) power equipment has been made around the world. Especially, a HTS transformer is one of the most promising devices. Recently, Korea Polytechnic University and Gyeongsang National University are developing a power distribution and transmission class HTS transformer that is one of the 21st century superconducting frontier projects in Korea. For the development of 154 kV class HTS transformer, the cryogenic insulation technology should be established. We have been analyzed insulation composition and investigated electrical characteristics such as the breakdown of $LN_2$, barrier, kapton films, and the surface flashover of FRP in $LN_2$. Furthermore, we are going to compare with measured each value and apply the value to the most suitable insulating design of the HTS transformer.

This paper deals with the conceptual design and characteristic analysis of core type superconducting motor using iron cores in the field. As the objective function of conceptual design, the flux quantity per pole is selected. In order to reduce the quantity of superconductors, the variations of flux quantity per pole by changing the design variables and area are investigated. Finally, the quantity of superconductors between air-cored and core type superconducting motor is compared under the same motor capacity. In addition, the dimensions and volumes of motors are compared.

A common problem in many fields of cryogenic power engineering is applying high voltage to cold parts of superconducting apparatus. In many cases, a bushing provides electrical insulation for the conductor which makes the transition from ambient temperature to the cold environment. The 60 kV class cryogenic high voltage bushing for neutral line of the 154 kV / 100MVA high temperature superconducting (HTS) transformer was described. The bushing is energized with the line-to-ground voltage between the coaxial center and outer surrounding conductors; in the axial direction, there was a temperature difference from ambient to about 77 K. For the insulation design of cryogenic bushing, electrical insulation characteristics of the GFRP were discussed in this paper.

Design of current lead for 21T superconducting magnets is presented. The current lead is composed of a normal metal element, conducting the current from room temperature to intermediate temperature, and an HTS element, conducting the current down to liquid helium temperature. The metal element is disengaged from the HTS element without breaking vacuum after excitation. The optimization of the lead is performed to minimize the thermal heat load when carrying operational current with some margin. In order to confirm the feasibility of our new design, the intermediate joint between a normal metal and HTS element is fabricated and the reliability is tested during engage and disengage performance. The effects of vacuum level and performance cycle on the electrical contact resistance are also investigated.
