High temperature superconducting (HTS) cable could be regarded as one of the most promising technologies for large electric power delivery with high reliability and low losses of power transmission system. Therefore, since 2001, LS Cable Ltd. has been developing 22.9kV, 50MVA HTS cable system as a member of DAPAS (Dream for Advanced rower system by Applied Superconductivity technology) program. In 2003, 22.9kV HTS cable system, single-core cable employing BSCCO HTS wires was firstly manufactured in 2003, and then three-core cable was also successfully developed through the demonstration of its field applicability. In this paper, based on these experiences, the relevant design technology and transient characteristics of HTS cable is described.

This paper introduces two on-going projects for DC high temperature superconducting (HTS) cable systems in South Korea. This study proposes the application of DC HTS cable systems to enhance power transfer limits of a grid-connected offshore wind farm. In order to develop the superconducting DC transmission system model based on HTS power cables, the maximum transfer limits from offshore wind farm are estimated and the system marginal price (SMP) calculated through a Two-Step Power Transfer (TSPT) model based on PV analysis and DC-optimal power flow. The proposed TSPT model will be applied to 2022 KEPCO systems with offshore wind farms.

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.

High temperature superconducting(HTS) power cable is expected to be used for power transmission lines supplying electric power for densely populated cities in the near future. Since HTS power cable is capable of the high current density delivery with low power loss, the cable size can be compact comparing with the conventional cable whose capacity is same. In this paper, the authors propose the real time simulation method which puts a teal HTS wire into the simulated 22.9 kV utility grid system using Real Time Digital Simulator (RTDS). For the simulation analysis, test sample of HTS wire was actually manufactured. And the transient phenomenon of the HTS wire was analyzed in the simulated utility power grid. This simulation method is the world first trial in order to obtain much better data for installation of HTS power device into utility network.

It becomes difficult and high in cost to construct new ducts and/or tunnels for power cable in Metropolitan area. This paper presents the possible application of a HTS superconducting power cable for transmitting electric power in metropolitan areas, reflecting its important distinction such as compactness for installation in underground ducts and considerably economical efficiency comparable to present underground cables. In this paper, review of transmission capacity and voltage class of compact HTS cable which should be applied to existing ducts was performed.

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. The HTS power cable is composed of 2 layers for transmission and 1 layer for shield. For the analysis of AC losses in an HTS power cable, 2-dimensional numerical calculation was carried out to define the magnetic field distribution. We calculated the magnetization losses in the HTS core of that cable from these fields. These calculated results are in accordance with those of experiment.

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.

The DC side voltage and current of a HVDC transmission system are directly affected by non-linear switching devices such as the thyristor valve which causes real power losses, even under the superconducting conditions of a high temperature superconducting (HTS) power cable. This paper deals with the development of miniaturized superconducting DC cable system. The authors designed and fabricated two thyristor converters for DC transmission system. One is operated as a rectifier and the other is an inverter. The HTS model cable was connected between the DC side of the rectifier and inverter. Real DC transport current and voltage were applied to the miniaturized HTS DC cable. Experimental results are discussed in detail.
