The application of bulk superconducting materials to electrical power systems is very attractive because bulk high temperature superconductors offer excellent electromagnetic properties. In recent years there has been significant progresses in the research and fabrication of superconducting bulk materials. Numerous efforts have been made worldwide to make bulk YBCO as a replacement of the conventional magnets to produce larger magnetic field and hence to improve the device performance in electrical power applications. This paper gives a comprehensive review of different applications of bulk HTS materials, concentrating in three areas including superconducting bearing, superconducting motors and high field magnets. The advantages of applying superconducting material into each application are analysed. The status of current research in each section is summarized and examples are given to demonstrate how YBCO bulk materials can benefit the design of electrical devices. Several numerical models which calculate the electromagnetic properties of bulk superconductors are introduced and finally the article concludes with a review on the studies of the demagnetisation effect in superconducting bulk magnets which is extremely relevant to applying superconducting technology to rotating machines.

A magnetic levitation system with hybrid magnets, which is composed of permanent magnets and electromagnets, consumes less power than the conventional attraction type system. A parallel complementary controller on the lift controller is proposed to reduce the sensitivity for parameter variation and force disturbance. Simulation and experiment show that the lift system has robustness to force disturbance.

For the development of a SMES system we fabricated and tested the 1 MJ superconducting magnet The test results show that the magnet is excellent in comparison with previously fabricated magnets outside. The recovery current of the conductor plays an important role in the fabrication of the stable magnets for a SMES system.

Permalloy soft magnets have been produced by the powder injection molding process. Rheological characteristics of mixtures, debinding conditions, and the magnetic properties of permalloy after sintering have been investigated. A permalloy soft magnet with a permeability of 14200 could be obtained by preparing a mixture with a powder loading of 65.4 vol % and a PP/PEG binder systems solvent extraction, thermal debinding, and subsequent sintering at 1350$\^{C}$ in hydrogen. The permalloy soft magnet sintered in hydrogen had 95% of theoretical density and a magnetic induction of 13.2 kG in an applied magnetic field of 50 Oe.

We introduce a design technique for homogeneous magnets using evolution strategy. The method has several advantages over existing techniques including: it allows complete flexibility in geometric constraints on the shape of both the coil and the homogeneous volume; it guarantees a globally optimal solution, and it automatically searches the minimum number of coils that satisfies given constraints.

Compared to the present clinical field strengths, MR at 47 and above promises to improve anatomic imaging quality by factors, and to bring metabolic and functional imaging to the forefront of research and diagnostic modalities. While human bore sized magnets as high as 9.4T are now installed, realization of the potential benefit of these magnets will require more of the MR system than a simple field, frequency or power scaling from technologies used at lower fields. New constraints on the high field MR studies, both physical and physiological, will require new technical developments to be considered for the highest field systems.
