Enhanced performances of high temperature superconducting (HTS) cable attract tremendous interests of the power utility. However, the reliability issue as the power system is still in controversy. To verify the reliability of HTS cable, 22.9 kV HTS cable system with the specification of 100 m length, 50 MVA capacity, and open refrigeration cooling system was laid on Gochang power testing center of KEPCO in 2006. During the test period, the current transport characteristics, the fundamental function of power cable, have been monitored and investigated precisely. In this paper, the heat loss and AC loss measured at various current load conditions are described and discussed.

A necessity to a superconducting cable in power transmission systems have been growing more and more due to high power density in urban areas and rapid increase of power demand. In view of these situation, it is a noteworthy fact that superconducting cable has remarkable advantages, such as lower power loss and 3-5 times higher power transmission capacity, compared with conventional power cable. For the last a few years, long-term reliability tests had been carried out in the KEPCO PT Center, and now it has been installed in KEPCO's real power grid for demonstrating commercial operation. This paper deals with the test results of dielectric properties performed at manufacturing factory for the joint box, termination and core of HTS cable system and whole system connected in real power grid.

22.9kV HTS(High Temperature Superconducting) cable and SFCL(Superconducting Fault Current Limiter) will be installed to Icheon 154kV substation for real distribution power system operation in 2010. This paper proposes CLR (Current Limiting Resistance) specification of the SFCL and fault current condition fo the HTS cable for applying to Korean power system.

The superconducting transmission cable is one of interesting part in power application using high temperature superconducting wire. One important parameter in HTS cable design is transport current sharing because it is related with current transmission capacity and loss. In this paper, we calculate self inductances of each layer and mutual inductances between two layers from magnetic field energy, and current sharing of each layer for 4-layer cable using the electric circuit model which contain inductance and resistance (by joint and AC loss). Also, transport current losses which are calculated by monoblock model and Norris equation are compared. As a results, outer layer has always larger transport current than inner layer, and current capacity of each layer is largely influenced by resistance per unit cable length. As a conclusion, for high current uniformity and low AC loss, we have to decrease inductances themselves or those differences.

The high temperature superconductivity(HTS) cable must be cooled below the nitrogen liquefaction temperature to applicate the cable in power generation and transmi-ssion system under the superconducting state. To obtain superconducting state. a reliable cryocooler system is required. Structural and thermal design have been performed to design cryocooler system operated with reverse Brayton cycle using gas neon as refrigerant. This cryocooler system consists of compressor. recuperator. coldbox. control valves and has 1 kW cooling capacity. Heat loss calculation was conducted for the given cryocooler system by considering the conduction and radiation through the multi-layer insulation(MLI) and high vacuum. The results can be summarized as: conduction heat loss is 7 W in valves and access port and radiation heat loss is 18 W through the surface of cryocooler. The full design specifications were discussed and the results were applied to construct in house HTS cable cooling system.

One of the main problems faced in developing India's first HTS power cable was that of shrinkage in length of the double-walled vacuum-insulated cryostat. The shrinkage was due to the evacuation of the annular vacuum space which results in a shorter working cable length. This work reports experimentally observed contraction during evacuation and analyses corrugated pipes/bellows which house the cable core of HTS cables. The effect of corrugation geometry including length, corrugation pitch and depth, diameters of corrugated pipes and thicknesses of pipes is studied numerically to realize the degree of shrinkage due to vacuum as well as chill down. Finally, necessary length compensation and associated cost is determined to tackle the shrinkage issue.

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.

BSCCO HTS(High Temperature Superconductor) could be applied to superconducting cable, magnet and motor, using its hight critical properties. Especially, superconducting cable has a hight possibility of practical use due to the possibility of low voltage and high capacity transmission caused by its lower power loss than copper cable. In this paper, the transport characteristics of BSCCO superconducting cable, according to the change of BSCCO superconducting cable's accident point at phase $0^{\circ}$ and $45^{\circ}C$, were analyzed and compared each other. Consequently, when the accident was occur the resistance of the HTS was higher at the point phase $0^{\circ}$ than $45^{\circ}$ which means it will cause much higher load on the HTS.
