1MVA high temperature superconducting (HTS) transformer with double pancake windings made of BSCCO-2223 HTS tapes was designed and manufactured. And prototype transformer with the same capacity was manufactured also. The each rated voltage of the HTS transformer is 22.9 kV and 6.6 kV. Four parallel BSCCO-2223 HTS tapes were wound in the double pancake windings of low voltage side. In order to distribute the currents equally in each HTS tapes, the three times transposition was performed between the double pancake windings. The windings of prototype transformer were wound using copper tape with the same size as BSCCO-2223 HTS tape. The core of the transformer was designed and manufactured as a shell type core made of laminated silicon steel plate. The several characteristics tests for the prototype transformer were performed in liquid nitrogen and insulation tests were accomplished also.

In this paper, the optimum design of the glass net shape was studied to minimize the electric field of mold transformer. The glass net is used for reinforcement in structure between coils and epoxy, but it can cause to increase the electric field and the partial discharge. Therefore, the optimum design of glass net is required to minimize the electric field. In this paper, the objective function was approximated by using response surface method and then Zoom-in method was used for optimal design to minimize the electric field. The electric field was analysed using finite element method for each shape of glass nets.

Parallel wounded windings with BSCCO-2223 HTS tape for 1MVA HTS transformer were designed and prototype windings were fabricated in double pancake type. The parallel HTS tapes were transposed between the pancakes via non-superconducting joints because it is hard to make transpositions inside the pancake windings. The prototypes were wound using copper tape with same size as BSCCO-2223 tape, which will be used in 1MVA HTS transformer. The windings will be used for high voltage test and insulation test of the transformer Parallel HTS windings are going to be fabricated and tested for current distribution in near future.

This paper presents an application of vector control strategy for 1.2MVA IGBT traction drive for electric railway vehicle. The vector control requires the control of the phase and amplitude of output voltage vector[5]. But in case of traction system far railway vehicle, the one-pulse mode is used in order to utilize the link voltage fully[8]. So it is impossible to control the flux axis current and the torque axis current instantaneously and independently. So this paper proposes the vector control strategy with slip-frequency control at one-pulse mode. And precise switching technique between the two different control structures has been proposed. And the strategy was verified by experimental result with 1.2MVA IGBT inverter with four 210㎾ induction motors.

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.

22.9kV 50MVA HTS power cable has been developed and tested by Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute and LS Cable Company and it was supported by a grant from Center for Applied Superconductivity Technology of the 21st Century Frontier R&D Program. In this paper, DC Ic of 100m HTS cable which is installed at Kochang testing station was measured and analyzed. A measurement technique of DC Ic used by resistance and inductance removal method is established.

Due to the increase in capacity of auxiliary machinery in power plant, the importance of energy saving has been greatly emphasized. If the speed of fans or pumps is controlled in accordance with the variation of load, large electric energy can be saved. Large capacity inverter, 2MVA GTO inverter, has been developed by operating two of 1MVA unit inverters in parallel. The parallel operation of the unit inverter is accomplished through two output transformers of which the secondary windings are connected in series. The system is composed of one control cubicle, one rectifier cubicle and 2 unit inverter cubicles. This inverter system was applied to the sea water lift pump(SLP) driven by a 6.6KV 1500KW induction motor in Seo-Inchon power plant to save the electric energy. The parallel operation of inverters by 180 degrees apart in switching frequency helps to reduce the harmonic components.

The result of design and Partial fabrication of a 1 MVA single phase high temperature superconducting(HTS) transformer for power distributions are presented in this paper. The HTS windings are wound as double pancake windings which have advantages of uniform distribution of high voltage over the windings. the rated primary and secondary voltages are 22.9 kV and 6.6 kV respectively. Four HTS tapes are wound in parallel for secondary windings considering the rated currents of the transformer. The HTS windings will be cooled down to 65 K by natural convection of sub-cooled liquid nitrogen using a single-staged GM-cryocooler in order to make the stability of the HTS windings better. The iron core is designed as shell type and isolated from the liquid nitrogen by an FRP cryostat which have a room temperature bore. After the complete fabrication of the total HTS transformer system, performance test of the transformer will be carried out.

다층구조의conductor와 shield로 구성되는 HTS-cable의 교류손실 특성 연구를 위하여 2005년부터 실증시험 중에 있는 22.9kV, 50MVA, 100m급 KEPCO HTS-cable system에 사용된 케이블과 동일한 두개의 short-sample에 대하여DC 및 AC 특성을 실험적으로 조사하였다. KEPCO HTS-cable system에서처럼 shield전류를 conductor와 크기는 같게 하고 방향을 반대로하여 수주기동안 AC pulse전류를 인가했을 때, shield의 임계전류가 conductor보다 작음에도 불구하고 conductor-lead에 대하여 측정된 AC loss가 shield의 것과 비교하여 약 1.5배 큰 것을 알 수 있었다
