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.

As a power transmission line supplying power to a densely populated city, the high temperature superconducting (HTS) cable is expected to one of the most effective cables with a compact size because of its high current density. The verification of HTS power cable system have been progressed by KEPRI. A cooling system for a 3-phase 100m HTS power cable with 22.9kV/1.25kA was installed and tested at KEPCO's Gochang power testing center in Korea. The system consists of a liquid nitrogen decompression cooling system with a cooling capacity of 3kW and a closed circulation system of subcooled liquid nitrogen. Several performance tests of the cable system with respect to the cooling such as cooling capacity, heat load and temperature stability, were performed at several temperatures. Thermal cycle test, cool-down to liquid nitrogen temperature and warm-up to room temperature, was also performed to investigate thermal cycle influences. The outline of the installed cooling system and performance test results are presented in this paper.

This paper presents the possible application of a HTS superconducting power cable fro transmitting electric power in metropolitan areas, reflecting its important distinction such as compactness for installation in underground ducts and considerable efficiency improvement comparable to present underground cables. In this paper, we investigated characteristic and market scale compact HTS transmission cable which is possible to install in under-ground ducts. and reviewed its economical efficiency comparing to present existed CV cable construction and duct or tunnel installation.

The standardization on superconducting application techniques has been focused only in testing method or material itself, but, recently, it is actively proceeded by superconducting technical committee(TC) of international electro technical commission(IEC). In this paper, the standardization organization and its necessary process is introduced and the standardization technique for 22.9kV, 50MVA HTS power cable is prescribed. Throughout this research, it is possible to take priorities on the standardization technique in HTS power cable application. And moreover it can also contributes to the commercialization of HTS power cable.

For last 10 years, there are big progress and many efforts in the development of HTS power equipments by some country including South Korea. Especially HTS cable system is the strongest candidate among them from the viewpoint of applying to real grid, because of the feature of it, compact and large capacity. In South Korea, transmission level 154kV, the world top voltage class, HTS cable system was installed and has been tested in KEPCO Gochang Underground Cable Test Field since the early of 2010 in order to meet test requirements made by KEPCO, the only grid company in South Korea. The type test of it will be completed by October 2010 and subsequently long-term load cycle test will be performed during 6 months. Also in the near future, KEPCO has a plan to demonstrate transmission level HTS cable system in real grid, in order to meet practical requirements and confirm the feasibility of it. This paper says the test plan of transmission level 154kV HTS cable system and the way how to test it.

Bi-2223 테이프는 송전케이블과 같은 저 자장 전력시스템의 응용에 가장 유망한 선재로 알려져 있다. 송전케이블에 교류 전류가 인가되면 인접한 테이프에 의해서 발생되는 자계는 통전손실에 영향을 미치게 된다. 이와 같은 실제 송전케이블의 응용 측면을 고려하여 좌측 및 상부인접전류가 통전손실에 미치는 영향에 대하여 조사하였다. Bi-2223 테이프의 통전손실은 교류 인접전류가 증가함에 따라서 급격하게 증가하는 반면, 직류 인접전류의 영향은 무시 가능한 정도로 작았으며, 인접전류가 큰 경우는 테이프의 배열에 무관한 반면 작은 경우에는 상부배열인 경우의 영향이 큼을 알 수 있었다. 또한 Bi-2223 테이프의 통전손실은 교류 인접전류의 주파수에 무관함을 알 수 있었다.

High T$_c$ (${\sim}$21,500 A/cm$^2$, at 77K) of 100m length of BSCCO 2223 tapes have been achieved using optimized precursor powders with carefully controlling variables in heat treatment. Prototype 500A class multistrand conductor for HTS power cable was fabricated using these tapes. Also discussed are the transportation properties of prototype 500A class multistrand conductor.

In recent years, there is a growing needs for large capacity underground power transmission lines with the increasing demand of electric power in the urban area, where various environmental limitations are imposed on the overhead transmission lines. But it is difficult to get the space for the underground power transmission cables because of complicated distributions of underground public facilties such as subway, water pipes, gas etc. As the superconducting power cables have the large power transmission capacity, the high power transmission capacity, the high power transmission density, and low loss characteristics in comparison with a conventional cable, it would be a solution to meet the increased power demand. In this paper, the results of the conceptual design and analysis of power system of HTS power transmission cable is described.

The High-Tc superconducting power cable consists of a multi-layer high-Tc superconducting cable core and a stabilizer which is used to bypass the current at fault time. Eddy current loss is generated in the stabilizer in normal operating condition and affects the whole system. In this paper, the eddy current losses are analyzed with respect to various structure of stabilizer by using opera-3d. Moreover, optimal conditions of the stabilizer are derived to minimize the eddy current losses from the analyzed results. The obtained results could be applied to the design and manufacture of the high-Tc superconducting power cable system.
