With the increasing development of renewable energy, it is expected that large-scale renewable power would be transported from the west and north area of China to the east and south area. For this reason, it will be necessary to develop a wide-area power grid in which the renewable energy would be the dominant power source, and the power grid will be faced by some critical challenges such as long-distance large-capacity power transmission, the stability of the wide-area power grid and the land use problem for the power grid. The superconducting technology for power (STP) would be a possible alternative for the development of China's future power grid. In last decade, STP has been extensively developed in China. In this paper, we present an overview of the R&D of STP last decade in China including: 1) the development of high temperature superconducting (HTS) materials, 2) DC power cables, 3) superconducting power substations, 4) fault current limiters and 5) superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES).

The effects of reacted precursors on phase evolution, microstructure, $J_{c}$ and junctional characteristic of the inter-granular contacts were investigated in Ag-sheathed T1-1223 tapes prepared using three kinds of reacted precursors, and compared to those in the tape prepared using an unreacted precursor The precursors were prepared by heat-treating a mixture of Sr-Ba-Ca-Cu-O, $Tl_2$$O_3$, PbO and $Bi_2$$O_3$ powders at $805^{\circ}C$ (precursor I ), $840^{\circ}C$ (precursor II ) and $905^{\circ}C$(precursor III) for 20 min. Tl-1223 phase content, grain size and J\ulcorner in the tapes appeared to increase in an order of precursors I, II and III Compared to tapes prepared using an unreacted precursor, the tapes prewar ed using precursors II and III revealed reduced pore and impurity densities and an enhanced texture. Also characteristic of inter -granular contacts and fraction of strong-links were improved. The improved properties are attributed to enhanced densification resulting from using the reacted precursors.s.

We employed a method eliminating a temporally partial principal component (PC) of multichannel-recorded neuromagnetic fields for excluding spatially correlated noises from event-evoked signals. The noises in magnetoencephalography (MEG) are considered to be mainly spontaneous neuromagnetic fields which are spatially correlated. In conventional MEG experiments, the amplitude of the spontaneous neuromagnetic field is much lager than that of the evoked signal and the synchronized characteristics of the correlated rhythmic noise makes it possible for us to extract the correlation noises from the evoked signal by means of the general PC analysis. However, the whole-time PC of the fields still contains a little projection component of the evoked signal and the elimination of the PC results in the distortion of the evoked signal. Especially, the distortion will not be negligible when the amplitude of the evoked signal is relatively large or when the evoked signals have a spatially-asymmetrical distribution which does not cancel out the corresponding elements of the covariance matrix. In the period of prestimulus, there are only the spontaneous fields and we can find the pure noise PC that is not including the evoked signal. Besides that, we propose a method, called the extended temporal decorrelation method (ETDM), to suppress the distortion of the noise PC from remanent evoked signal components. In this study, we applied the Partial Principal component elimination method (PPCE) and ETDM to simulated signals and the auditory evoked signals that had been obtained with our homemade 37-channel magnetometer-based SQUID system. We demonstrate here that PPCE and ETDM reduce the number of epochs required in averaging to about half of that required in conventional averaging.

YBa₂CU₃O/sub 7-8/(YBCO) coated conductor의 완충층 구조를 개선하기 위하여 2축배향된 Ni-3 wt%W 합금 기판위에 단일 완충층으로 SrTiO₃(STO) 박막을 증착하였다. YBCO와 STO 박막은 펄스레이저 증착법으로 성장시켰다. STO 박막의 표면은 증착온도에 따라 다른 미세조직을 보여 주었고, XRD 분석에서는 STO와 YBCO 박막이 금속기판의 배향성을 가지면서 성장되었음을 알 수 있었다. 액체질소 온도에서 1.2 MA/㎠의 임계전류밀도와 86 K의 임계온도를 가지는 짧은 길이의 coated conductor를 STO 단일완충층을 이용하여 제조하였다.

The crystallization mechanism of an amorphous $Bi_{2}$$Sr_{2}$$Ca_{2 x}$$Cd_{x}$$Cu_{3}$$O_{y}$ phase were studied from the relations between crystallization and volume changes by dilatometry. Further, the effect of addition of CdO on the crystallization mechanism and superconductivity was discussed. The shrinkage of the amorphous $Bi_{2}$$Sr_{2}$$Ca_{2 x}$$Cd_{x}$$Cu_{3}$$O_{y}$ occurred with the crystallization of $Bi_{2}$$Sr_{2}$Cu$O_{6}$ phase decrease with increasing CdO content with a minimum at x=0.4. Better superconductivity was obtained in the specimens formation less amount of the$Bi_{2}$$Sr_{2}$Cu$O_{6}$ phase during the crystallization process.

FY2000, Japanese government has started three new projects on superconductive power application. Two are succeeding projects of flywheel energy storage and superconducting generator. The other one is fully new project on ac application of superconductivity. Therefore, there are four national projects in Japan on power application of superconductivity, including SMES project Though each project will be reviewed in detail in my talk, outlines are as follows; SMES : FY1999-FY2003, carried by ISTEC Superconducting generator: FY2000-FY2003, carried by Super-GM AC application: FY2000-FY2004, carried by Super-GM Flywheel energy storage: FY2000-FY2004 carried by ISTEC.

We investigated over critical current characteristics of HTS tapes fabricated by KIMM. The critical current (Ic) of the HTS tapes was 68A/cm. In order to acquire over current I-V characteristics of HTS tapes, we applied AC that is 2-7 times of Ic to these tapes. When applied AC whose peak value is twice of Ic, we found out that total resistance of HTS tapes aid not change. In case of 3 times of Ic, resistances of HTS tapes began to increase slowly. However, superconducting regions of them were maintained stably in this condition. In addition, 280 $A_{peak}$was applied, superconducting regions began to be decreased gradually. Finally, 0.62m$\Omega$ of resistance was measured in HTS tapes which was applied AC correspond to 7 times of Ic at first cycle.

HTS(High Temperature Superconductor) tapes have dependence on critical characteristics such as electric, magnetic field and temperature. In order to confirm these effects, we examined the current transport characteristics of HTS tapes. First, after being fed DC and AC, the dependence of HTS tapes of 10cm on external magnetic field was investigated. On centeral region of HTS tape, about 1cm, external magnetic field was applied. Second, after applying DC of 50A to HTS tapes, we applied time variable magnetic field about 100mT and investigated the quench characteristics. Finally, AC, which is about 10 times of I$_{c}$, was applied to HTS tapes and over current characteristics were investigated. The data acquired in this study will be used as a source for the study of HTS cable conductor which is supposed to carry on.n.

We have investigated the mixed-state magnetoresistance of high quality c-axis-oriented MgB2 thin film for magnetic field from 0.5 T to 5.0 T, applied normal to ab-plane. The temperature dependence of magnetoresistance was well described by vortex glass and fluctuation theories for different temperature regimes. We observed glassy exponent of v(z-1)~3 and upper critical field of $H_{c2}$(0)~35 T, which is consistent with previous data obtained from direct $H_{c2}$(0) measurements. Interestingly, the thermally activated flux flow region was observed to be very narrow, suggesting that the pinning strength of this compound is very strong. This finding is closely related to the recent reports that the bulk pinning is dominant in $MgB_2$and the critical current density of $MgB_2$ thin film is very high, comparable to that of cuprate superconductor. The present results further suggest that $MgB_2$is beneficial to technical applications.ons.

A serious problem in using YBCO films for fault current limiter is inhomogeneities caused by imperpect manufacturing. So simultaneous quenches are a difficult problem which elements for current limiting are connected in series for increasing voltage ratings. We investigated extended electric field - current characteristics for current limiting element of YBCO film when 0-130mT magnetic field is applied. And quench characteristics were investigated in over all element and between elements of YBCO films. From the experiments, it was shown that applied magnetic fields using solenoid coil induced uniform quench distribution for over all stripes and simultaneous quench in all elements for current limiting of YBCO film was realized.
