Bi-2223/Ag HTS tapes fabricated by PIT process are used to make the power transmission cable, motor, fault current limiter, transformer etc. But some problems are still remained as like bubbling, sausaging to got the high Jc. In this study. we carried out the experiment to prevent bubbling in the HTS tape. The bubbling mainly occurred when HTS tape was heat-treating. Therefore, additional vacuum annealing at 400 ~ $600^{\circ}C$and slowly ramp-up sintering method were used to decrease the bubbling. slowly ramp-up sintering was more effective to decrease the bubbling than the vacuum annealing, but Jc was also decreased after heat treatment. Optimum ramp-up sintering schedule was searched to get the high critical current and prevent bubbling at same time.

To improve the reliability of the klystron-modulator systems, the stable operations of the thyratron an important factor of the system are required. The thyratron always has a possibility of self-fire according to the conditions of the applied high voltage and this induces the system fault. Therefore a command charging method was introduced to reduce the applied tim8 of the high voltage into the thyratron. The high voltage switch used in the command charging method is the SCR (1.6 kV, 50A) and consists of 10 SCRs in series to discharge 10 kV. A pulse transformer was used to apply the trigger pulse. The objectives of this research are the fabrication of the semiconductor switch and the study of the experimental result of the operation characteristics of the high voltage semiconductor switch.

In this paper we introduce preventative and diagnostic systems developed to prevent substations from accidental fault of electric power transmitting apparatus. We propose monitoring and diagnostic system for ultra high voltage GIS and main transformer of 765kV substations as an example of preventative and diagnostic techniques being applied in Korea. We also present a guideline to construct and manage an expert system for this purpose. Finally, an engineering solution as a substation management support system is proposed.

The DGA (Dissolved Gases Analysis) technique has been widely using for fault diagnosis of the power transformers. This technique has a high reliability than other techniques. KEPCO (Korea Electric Power Cooperation) has been using DGA technique since KEPCO established the criteria of DGA in 1985. In this paper, we introduce the DGA criteria of KEPCO and analyze the result of DGA. Also we introduce the cases of thoroughgoing inspection of the power transformers caused by DGA and compare the judgment of DGA with the result of throughgoing inspection.

This paper proposes a coordinative protection study results of 22.9kV HTS(High-Temperature Superconducting) cable implemented distribution system. HTS cable can provide about 5 times larger transfer capacability compare to conventional XLPE cable, however, it has different heat characteristic so called quench. This paper presents the simulation results on Ichun substation HTS cable which connects main transformer and 22.9kV bus. Various expected fault cases are considered and discussed to examine whether conventional protection scheme is effective to protect both of existing facilities and HTS cable. With the results of simulation, conventional protection scheme can be used if instantaneous element and time inverse elements could be adjusted with proper time coordination. Internal temperatures of HTS cable conductor in safe region with proper protection without quench. This results are to be demonstrated by the field test and will be implemented in Ichon substation HTS cable protection and control system.

This paper describes protection system of new distribution power system with superconducting power devices such as HTS cable, HTS transformer, HTS-FCL. First of all, this paper investigates protection systems of Korean power system and then do a basic study on relaying systems in the power system with HTS power devices. For the more detailed results, we did the study using EMTDC relaying system modeling from the viewpoint of superconducting power devices application. Then we proposed some solution for a high resistance fault problem.

The electric traction systems are quite differ from general power systems which is single-phase and heavy load. Therefore, there are inevitably power quality problems such as steady state or transient voltage drop, voltage imbalance and harmonic distortion. Among these problems, since steady-state volatge drop is the one of most important factor in electric power quality, many researches about on the compensation of volatge drop by using SVC(Static Var Compensator) and/or STACOM(Static Compensator) have been studied and proposed Also, it is expected that transient voltage drop(voltage sag) could affect the control and safety of high speed traction load. In this paper, voltage sag compensation of AT(Auto Transformer) feeding system are studied The detailed transient models of utility source, scott transformer, AT, and traction load are estabilished. The application of DVR(Dynamic Voltage Restorer) in electric traction system is proposed to compensate the voltage sag of traction network which is occured by the fault of utility source. It can be shown that application of the DVR in electric traction system is very useful to compensate the volatge sag from the result of related simulation works.

본 연구에서는 초전도의 전반적인 시장규모, 에너지 분야에서의 고온 초전도 연구 진척 내용, 마지막으로 저온 초전도체의 기술현황을 토대로 저온을 고온 초전도체로 대체 시 이에 따른 대체 효과를 비교 분석하고자 하였다. 하지만 고온 초전도체에 관한 기술적 문제가 아직 많은 문제로 제기되고 있어 정확한 기술적 판단에는 아직 상당히 미흡하다고 여겨진다. 또한 초전도를 이용한 에너지 응용범위가 너무 광범위하여 본고에서는 대표적 응용분야 몇 가지만 소개하고자 한다. 참고로 4K와 77K의 차이점을 평가할 때의 기준은 자기장과는 무관하게 임계전류밀도를 77K에서 $10-^5$$cm^2$으로 가정 실시한 것이다.

This paper describes a current differential relaying algorithm for power transformers with an advanced compensation algorithm for the secondary current of CTs. The comparative study was conducted with and without the compensating algorithm. The algorithm can reduce the operating time of the relay in the case of an internal fault and improve security for external faults. The performance of the proposed algorithm was investigated when the C100 CT, a quarter of the rated CT(C400), is used.

Design & operation power systems for meeting increase of electric power demand is becoming more difficult and complex. Some of limitations of conventional technology can be broken through by the application of superconductivity technology. This paper presents a new concept & image for the configuration of superconducting power system which has introduced superconducting(SC) generator, cable, transformer, fault current limiter(SFCL), SMES, etc. Engineering evaluation of each power apparatus and its assessment of application to power system were conducted. Futhermore, it is pointed that superconducting power system require a new operating condition. This is, SFCL should play a important part of quenching current level coordination to prevent the other superconducting devices from quenching. Its designing & operating condition including SFCL was discussed in viewpoint of quenching current level and insulation coordination of SC coil.
