At the end of July 2004, DAPAS (development of the advanced power system by applied
superconductivity technologies), which is a 10 year long programme, finished the first of
three phases. As a result of the first phase, a process for a metre long coated conductor and
the core technologies of the distribution line voltage class high temperature superconductor
(HTS) power systems including cables, transformers, fault current limiters (FCLs), and
motors have been developed. The ultimate goal of the HTS cable project is to develop
1 GVA class HTS transmission cables. During the first phase, a three-phase 50 MVA/22.9 kV
class HTS cable of 30 m length has been developed and tested successfully; it has
been installed by LS Cable Ltd. In the second phase, grid-connected HTS cables
will be developed and established in the real utility line. In case of FCLs, there
were two types of FCL developed during the first phase: a reactive type and a
resistive type. Both types had the same project targets with the specification of
6.6 kV/200 A for three-phase, and entered the second phase with the target of a 22.9 kV
class. In the case of the HTS transformer project, a 1 MVA/22.9 kV class was
developed, and after the second phase this project will be considered for practical
application. Technically, the optimal design and the manufacturing technologies of HTS
transformers as well as the analysis tools of electromagnetic field in the transformer were
developed. Furthermore, a 100 hp class motor has been developed so that the key
technologies for the utilization of superconducting motors could be obtained. The
developed motor consists of Bi-2223 field coils of 100 A operating current at 30 K and a
closed-loop cooling system, the results of which will lead us to develop 1 and 5 MVA
motors in the second and third phase, respectively. In the case of the coated
conductors (CCs) programme, a batch-type co-evaporation process and a reel-to-reel
pulsed laser deposition process gave us 10 m long CC tapes in February 2005. We
expect that 100 m long or longer CC will be developed during the second phase.
