The computer simulation for the fault current limiting characteristics of the superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) using the magnetic coupling of two coils was performed. The magnetic fluxes generated from two coils were canceled out during a normal time. However, the resistance generation of high-$T_c$ superconducting (HTSC) element after a fault occurrence keeps up the magnetic fluxes of two coils and contributes to the fault current limiting operation. Through the computer simulation for the fault current limiting characteristics based on its electrical equivalent circuit, its operational current and the limiting impedance could be improved by adjusting the inductance ratio between two coils.

In dry-winding(unfilled) superconducting magnets, the behavior of liquid helium occupying the extremely small void space within the winding is contributed as a primary factor for transient stability of magnets. Therefore, numerical experiments have been carried out concerning the influences of transient heat transfer of liquid helium ocupying the void space in the winding and thermal properties of insulation at the conductor surface on the transient stability of magnets, by using three-dimensional finite element method(FEM). In this paper, we are going to consider three different cases for heat transfer characteristics of liquid helium to observe the influences of the rest of liquid helium in void space within the winding on the transient stability.

The fault current limiting characteristics of the separated and the integrated three-phase flux-lock type superconducting fault current limiters (SFCLs) were analyzed. The three-phase flux-lock type SFCL consisted of three flux-lock reactors and three $high-T_c$ superconducting (HTSC) elements. In the integrated three-phase flux-lock type SFCL, three flux-lock reactors are connected on the same iron core. On the other hand, three flux-lock reactors of the separated three-phase flux-lock type SFCL are connected on three separated iron cores. The integrated three-phase flux-lock type SFCL showed the different fault current limiting characteristics from the separated three-phase flux-lock type SFCL that the fault phase could affect the sound phase, which resulted in quench of the HTSC element in the sound phase. Through the computer simulation applying numerical analysis for its three-phase equivalent circuit, the fault current limiting characteristics of the separated and the integrated three-phase flux-lock type SFCLs according to the ground fault types were compared.

Thermal deformations and stresses due to temperature changes are the serious problems in cryogenic structures such as the torque tube in a superconducting generator, In this paper, the equations of thermal expansion coefficients expressed only by material properties and winding angles are derived for the filament wound composite tubes. The experimental results of thermal contraction of CFRP tubes are compared with those from theoretical approach. Composite tubes with optimally regulated thermal expansion coefficient are designed on the basis of the study for the torque tube in the superconducting generator with temperature distributions varying from 300K to 4.2 K. The filament winding angle of composites resisting thermal stresses properly is sought by the finite element method using layered shell elements. The results show that the composite tubes designed for the requirements in cryogenic environments can effectively cope with the thermal stress problem.

AC loss of a superconducting conductor has a strong influence on the economic viability of a superconducting fault current limiter, which offers an attractive means to limit short circuit current in power systems. Therefore, the AC loss characteristics in several fault current limiting elements of a coil type have been investigated experimentally. The test result shows that AC losses measured in the fault current limiting elements depend on arrangement of a voltage lead. The AC loss of a bifilar coil is smallest among the fault current limiting elements of the coil type. The measured AC loss of the bifilar coil is much smaller than that calculated from Norris's elliptical model. However, the loss measured in a meander, which is frequently used in a resistive fault current limiter, agrees well to the theoretical one.

This paper presents racetrack High Temperature Superconducting (HTS) magnet with iron plates to achieve the maximum current-carrying capacity and the simple shape that can easily be wound and jointed. On the basis of the magnetic field analysis using Biot-Savart's law and 3 Dimensional Finite Element Analysis (3D FEA), this study is focused on the function of iron plates, which is to obtain smaller B${\perp}$, and stress and strain condition of Ag-sheathed Bi-2223 37-filament HTS tapes are considered. Moreover, the measured performance of the magnet with iron plates improved by 50% on the basis of initial magnet.

This paper deals with High Temperature Superconducting (HTS) Motor, which have two characteristics: the HTS magnet with iron plates as field coil, and the solid nitrogen $(SN_2)$ as a cryogen. The HTS magnet has iron plates to achieve the maximum current-carrying capacity and the simple shape that can easily be wound and jointed. The HTS magnet with iron plates, magnet optimized current distribution, and initial magnet are presented through 3 Dimensional Finite Element Analysis (3D FEA), manufacturing and testing these magnets. And, it is employed $SN_2$ for keep the operating temperature of HTS synchronous motor. To make the liquid nitrogen $(LN_2)$ of $SN_2$, Gas helium (GHe) passes into the heat exchanger and cools its own temperature. Two types of heat exchangers are designed and manufactured to make the $SN_2$, and each of the temperature characteristics is compared.

The major deisng parameters that are considered in this paper are: 1) EMF according to width of field coil. 2) EMF according to magnetic shield length. Because of superconducting generator (SG) is actually and air cored machine with its rotor iron and stator iron teeth having been removed. In this case, the desing of the SG must be based on the 3D analysis of the magnetic field. This study presents an effective armature winding type with 3D FEM(Finite Element Method), and compares analyzed and measured results.

A key technology for achieving commercial Nb_{3}$Sn superconducting wires may be driven from fabrication process of big-scale billets. There was no breakage in the strand that was constituted with annealed sub-element. It was need that billet had to treat HIP because of remove of voids and good contact between Cu and Nb filaments. Ta wound sheet was better than Ta tube for barrier in the strand.

In this paper, the operational characteristics of SFCL with magnetically coupled two coils were modeled and simulated by PSCAD/EMTDC. The dependence of the line voltage sag on the resistance of superconducting element during the fault period was analyzed. Through the analysis for the winding direction of two coils, the line voltage sag in case of the additive polarity winding was observed to be more improved compared to the case of the subtractive polarity winding.
