The main issues for the power application of High Tc superconducting tape are lower AC loss and higher stability conditions. HTS tape has large stability margin by high heat capacity of superconductor itself and high temperature margin. But, it can be damaged by continuous heat generation at quench point, because normal zone propagation velocity by generating heat is very low. Here, we analyze the quench propagation characteristics using finite element method for BSCCO-2223 HTS tape.

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.

The complex resonant frequency problem of a superconductor patch is formulated in terms of an integral equation which is the kernel of a dyadic Green's function. To include the effect of the superconductivity of the microstrip patch, the surface complex impedance of the superconductor film is introduced using the two fluids model of Gorter and Casimir. The Galerkin procedure is used in the resolution of the electric field integral equation. Numerical results concerning the effect of the operating temperature of a superconductor patch on the characteristics of the antenna are presented.

Stability of a Bi-2223/Ag tape was studied by using a numerical method. A numerical modeling has been developed to analyze the dynamic evolution of normal zone in a composite tape Bi-2223/Ag. In this paper, the stability of HTS tape is studied by considering the non-uniform temperature distribution in a cross-sectional area. The finite-difference method(FDM) is used to solve the two-dimensional heat conduction equation. Two kinds of analyses are compared to quantify the critical disturbance energy fur quenching HTS tapes. One is the length-thickness(x-y) side and the other is the length-width(x-z) side. The results of analyses shows that the critical disturbance energies for each cases seem to be very close for considered Bi-2223/Ag tape.

The high temperature superconductor transformer gains interests from the industries. This paper examined characteristics of the laboratory scale three phase HTS transformer and Brandt equation is used to calculate the loss by perpendicular magnetic field in transformer winding. To estimate the performance of the three phase HTS transformer no load characteristics, short circuit characteristics are calculated by using finite element method. Transient characteristics of sudden short circuit during full load operation have been examined. Effect of the resistance growth in the HTS wire from the quench of the wire is included in the calculation.

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.

Nowadays, one of the serious problems in KEPCO system is the larger fault current than the SCC(Short Circuit Capacity) of circuit breaker. There are many alternatives to reduce the increased fault current such as isolations of bus ties, enhancement of SCC of circuit breaker, applications of HVDC-BTB(Back to Back) and FCL(fault current limiter). However, these alternatives have some drawbacks in viewpoints of system stability and cost. As the superconductivity technology has been developed, the HTS-FCL(High Temperature Superconductor-Fault Current Limiter) can be one of the attractive alternatives to solve the fault current problem. Under this background, this paper presents the EMTDC model for resistive type HTS-FCL considering the nonlinear characteristic of final resistance value when quenching Phenomena occur.
