Abstract
The significant progresses in high Tc superconducting wires or tapes have excited a great deal of research interests in power application. This paper will review the recent progresses of power application of superconductor in China. An improved bridge-type fault current limiter was tested and a 10.5 kV/1.5 kA demonstrator has been operated at a substation in Hunan Province in 2005. A 75 meter, 10.5 kV/1.5 kA three phase HTS cable has been installed and operated at the Changtong Cable Headquarter in the end of 2004, and a 30 meter, 35 kV/2 kA HTS power cable was installed at substation and has been operated since July 2004. A 10.5 kV/400 V/630 kVA HTS transformer has been installed and operated at TBEA electric factory in 2005. A 500 kj/150 kVA SMES unit was developed and tested. 1.0 MJ/0.5 MW SMES will be installed in a power grid in 2006. Besides, a new kind equipment of fault-current-limiting SMES is being developed and a 100 kJ/25 kW prototype has been made and tested.Keywords
