This paper describes the construction scheme of new distribution system using HTS(High Temperature Superconducting) power equipments such as cable, transformer and FCL(fault current limiter). At present, one of the most serious problems in distribution power system, especially for metropolitan complex city, is to obtain the ROW for cable line routes, space for downtown substations and satisfy the environmental protection caused by NIMBY phenomena. Unfortunately, it is expected that this situation will get more and more worse. As the HTS technology to apply in power system Is developed, HTS cable utilizing mass-capacity characteristic can be a useful countermeasure to overcome this problem. This paper describes the application methodology of 22.9kV HTS cable with low-voltage, mass-capacity characteristics replacing the 154kV conventional cable. By applying 22.9kV HTS cable, the HTS transformer with higher capacity for the reduction of space and transformer numbers of downtown substation is necessary. Also, if the leakage Impedance of HTS transformer is same as or lower than that of conventional transformer, the fault current of 22.9kV bus will increase because the HTS transformer capacity is larger than that of the conventional transformer. This means the parallel application of HTS-FCL to reduce the fault current in addition to the HTS cable and transformer can be necessary. With the basic construction scheme of new distribution system, this paper describes the future study points to realize this new distribution system using HTS equipments.

A high-$T_c$ superconducting (HTS) DC application has advantages such as the ultimately lower loss, more compact dimensions, and large capacity compared to AC application. In order to optimize the insulation design of a HTS DC machines, it is important to understand the high voltage insulation and materials at cryogenic temperature. Polypropylene laminated paper (PPLP) has been widely used as an insulating material for HTS AC machines. However, the fundamental data under DC voltage have not been revealed satisfactorily until now. In this paper, we will discuss mainly on the breakdown and dielectric characteristics of PPLP in liquid nitrogen ($LN_2$). The polarity effects of DC and impulse voltage were studied by using the semi-rod to cylindrical electrode. The volume resistivity of PPLP in $LN_2$ was studied. Also, the space charge distribution at room temperature was studied. However, it is necessary to study this topic at cryogenic temperature in the near future.

A free piston and free displacer (FPFD) Stilting cryocooler for the cooling infrared and cryo-sensor is currently under development at Korea Institute of Machinery & Materials. In this study, the dynamic characteristics of the displacer in the expansion space of the Stirling cooler was investigated by experiment. The experimental results show that the Stirling cryocooler has maximum cooling capacity at the certain relation between operating frequency and natural frequency of the displacer and the operating frequency of the Stirling crycooler should be determined by natural frequency of the linear compressor and displacer.

A small scale joint sample of Nb3Sn CICC was fabricated by sub-cable to sub-cable joining. This joint was produced by parallel insertion of one end of each sub-cable into the sub-cable space of the other side of cable, which can decrease the equivalent electrical resistance at the joint is expected to have average properties, dc resistance and ac losses, in view of the shapes of ITER type joint and strand to strand joint. The 3.8nOhm of dc resistance was measured in the range of 10-200A transport current. The normalized resistivity of the joint was about 6.7 $\mu}$Ohm-$^mm{2}$. Considering the normalized resistivity, the full scale joint prepared by sub-cable to sub-cable joining may have similar joint dc resistance with other conventional full scale joints with a shorter joining length.

A rotating cryogenic system was designed similar to the cooling system for the rotor of a superconducting generator. The experimental rotor has an inner vessel which simulates the winding space of an actual superconducting rotor, and a torque tube of comparable design. This paper describes the evaluation of the total heat leak into the inner vessel that leads to the study of the heat transfer characteristic of the rotating cryogenic system. To examine the insulation performance of the experimental rotor. temperature was measured at each part of the system at various rotaing speeds from 0 rpm to 600 rpm. Total heat leak into the inner vessel was calculated by measuring the boil-off rate of liquid helium. Conduction heat leak to the inner vessel was obtained by the vent tube, and radiation heat leak was calculated by subtracting the conduction heat lent from the total heat leak. There seemed to be no rotaional dependency of total heat leak at least up 600 rpm.

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.

The cryostat is designed for the superconducting quadrupole magnets to be used in a heavy-ion accelerator facility. The main accelerator is superconducting linac, which can accelerate a $^{238}U$ beam to 200 MeV/u (Mega electron voltage per nucleon). The cryostat for the magnet employs an innovative design primarily driven by the requirement of the compactness, user-friendliness and reliability. Also, several ancillary requirements such as background field, space restriction due to the beam line and cryostat structure need technical attentions. The development of the cryostat for three quadrupole magnets in the in-flight fragmentation separator is presented in the paper. The concept of cryogenic design is reported and the amount of cryogenic load is estimated by a relevant analysis. The structure of the cryostat to endure the heavy iron yoke including three quadrupole magnets is presented. In addition, the design as well as the performance test of the support link for the cold mass is described.

A free piston and free displacer (FPFD) Stirling cryocooler has been widely used for the cooling infrared and cryo-sensor. The thermodynamic performance of the free piston and free displacer type (FPFD) Stirling cryocooler is highly dependent on the operating frequency of the linear compressor and the natural frequency of the displacer. In this study, to find optimal relation between operating and natural frequency of the displacer the dynamic characteristics of the displacer in the expansion space of the Stirling cooler was investigated by experiment. The experimental results show that the Stifling cryocooler has maximum cooling capacity at the operating frequency of about 0.8 times of the natural frequency of displacer. Therefore the operating frequency of the Stirring cryocooler should be determined by natural frequency of the linear compressor and displacer.

The behavior of cryogenic liquid stored in a closed cryogenic tank has been studied at various liquid levels, as a function of pressure and temperature on time, assuming heat leak(NER) is 0.7%/day. The pressure depends, as expected, on the liquid-vapor ratio in a tank. The calculation shows that if liquid level is as high as 90%,much higher than the critical volume ration, in a closed tank of designed pressure 11 bar, it takes 5.4 to 15days for the entire volume of the tank to be filled with liquid and 11 to 22 days for the tank to be exploded. If a closed tank is full of liquid, it is extremely dangerous because of abrupt pressure increase so that the safety devices are necessary to vent out pressurized gas. These phenomena can be explained with the liquid heat capacity, latent heat and compressibility.

For the magnetic field analysis or design, it is important to know the behavior of the magnetic field in an interesting space. Magnetic field mapping becomes a useful tool for the study of magnetic field. In this paper, a numerical way for mapping the magnetic field within the cylindrical center volume of magnet is presented, based on the solution of the Laplace's equation in the cylindrical coordinate system. The expression of the magnetic field can be obtained by the magnetic flux density, which measured in the mapped volume. According to the form of the expression, the measurement points are arranged with the parallel cylindrical line (PCL) method. As example, the magnetic flux density generated by an electron cyclotron resonance ion source (ECRIS) magnet and a quadrupole magnet were mapped using the PCL method, respectively. The mapping results show the PCL arrangement method is feasible and convenience to map the magnetic field within a cylindrical center volume generated by the general magnet.
