A key technology for achieving commercial Nb$_3$Sn superconducting wires may be driven from fabrication Process of big-scale billets. Sub-element billet with diameter of 200 mm was designed and fabricated. This billet was hot-extruded and drawn. Cu stabilizer tube, Nb barrier tube and 19 sub-elements inserted Sn core were composed for strand. 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 goad contact between Cu and Nb filaments. Ta wound sheet was better than Ta tube thor barrier in the strand. Ic of the Nb$_3$Sn wire at 127, 4.2K was over than 120 A.

As one of the countermeasures to improve the recovery characteristics of the SFCL (superconducting fault current limiter), the method using the trigger of high-TC superconducting element (HTSC) when the quench in the HTSC element occurred was proposed. To confirm the suggested method, the control circuit to detect the quench occurrence of HTSC element in case of the fault occurrence was designed and the current limiting and recovery experiments of the SFCL using the designed control circuit were performed. Through the analysis for the experimental results, the points of both the open time and the closing time of a power switch comprising the control circuit could be adjusted by the resistance amplitude of a normal conducting current limiting resistor (CLR) and the recovery characteristics of the SFCL together with the current limiting operation could be confirmed to be improved by using the control circuit.

The ongoing Superconducting Fault Current Limiter(SFCL) development mainly has focused on the application of commercializaton and power system through combining with normal-conducting device, moving away from current-limiting method, which is solely dependant on the existing superconductor. Compared to the structural development above, on the other hand, the research on applying superconducting current-limiting element to SFCL, the heart of SFCL, still has a lot left to do, apart form traditional resistive type SFCL. In this study, we looked into the current limiting characteristic of SFCL using core and coil. YBCO coated conductor with stainless steel stabilizer layer was verified by the excellent of current-limiting element of the resistive type SFCL that has a high Jc and index as well as being superior in mechanical property. Also, we study temperature characteristics and resistance characteristics, max voltage, response time and current-limiting ability that can be an indicator as current-limiting element while applying to superconducting current-limiting element caused by variation of winding direction, winding ratio of SFCL using core and coil.

This research is conducted with the object of Piling up the foundation of design technologies for high temperature superconducting (HTS) power transformer which is thought to be as a powerful power transformer of next generation. In this study, not only the theoretical design of high temperature superconducting (HTS) transformer but also the arrangements of superconducting tape and the cooling method have been conducted. Moreover, electromagnetic analyses using finite element method (FEM) were conducted to confirm the efficiency of the designed transformer.

The $Bi_2Sr_2Ca_nCu_{n+1}O_x$ superconducting thin film fabricated by using the sputtering method was compared with the $Bi_2Sr_2Ca_nCu_{n+1}O_x$ superconducting thin film fabricated by using the evaporation method. In doing the ultra-low deposition because each element can exist on the substrate surface, both the sputtering method and the evaporation method could easily fabricate single phase of the Bi2212 phase. Also, it is cofirmed that by optimizing the deposition condition, each single phase of the Bi2201 phase and the Bi2212 phase can be fabricated, the sticking coefficient of Bi element is clearly related to the changing of substrate temperature and the formation of the Bi2212 phase.

For the application of superconducting fault current limiters(SFCLs) to the protection system, quench recovery characteristics of Au/YBCO thin film were investigated. The Au/YBCO thin film was designed as a SFCL element with a bi-spiral pattern. The SFCL element limited the fault current successfully. For the analysis of the recovery to superconducting state, we measured resistance variation of the SFCL element after the quench. In addition, in order to investigate the dependence of quench characteristics of SFCL on the $LN_2$ cooling condition, we measured the recovery time under a pressure of 1, 2 and 3 atm. As the results, the recovery time increased in proportion to the duration of the fault currents. In the sub-cooled condition, while the quench development was exactly the same, the recovery time was shortened as the pressure increased.

In this paper, the fault current limiting characteristics for the superconducting fault current limiter(SFCL) using magnetic coupling between two coils were investigated. The SFCL consists of a high-$T_c$ superconducting(HTSC) element and two coils. This SFCL has different characteristics that depend on the connection form, the winding direction and the inductance ratio of two coils. The impedance and the operational current of the SFCL can be adjusted higher or lower than the resistance and the critical current of HTSC element. Therefore, the SFCL can change the amplitude of the limited fault current. To confirm it, the HTSC element was modeled and the fault current limiting characteristics of the SFCL were analysed through computer simulation. It was obtained from the analysis that the connection form and the winding direction of two coils of the SFCL were the important design parameters.

The fault current has increased due to the large power demand in power distribution system and network distribution system. To protect the power system effectively from the increased fault current, the superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) has been notified. However, the conventional SFCL has some problems such as cost, operation, recovery, loss. To solve some problems, the hybrid superconducting fault current limiter using the fast switch was proposed. However, hybrid SFCL also has a problem that is protection coordination in power distribution system with hybrid SFCL. In this paper, the fault current limiting characteristics of hybrid SFCL with first half cycle non-limiting operation according to the fault angle, the resistance of superconducting element, and the magnitude of Current Limit Resistor (CLR) which are the components of hybrid SFCL were analyzed through the experiments.

The Prototype high-Tc do reactor was manufactured and compared to the results of design. This dc reactor consists of 4∼stacked double pancake coils which are wounded with Bi-2223 wire coated with SUS315L. Kapton tape is used for the insulation of turn to turn and layer to layer. Each pancake is connected in series by soldering Finally, optimal design and manufacture method lot the dc reactor is suggested in this paper.
