Applied superconductivity for advanced electric power system

Superconducting power system apparatuses have individually good characteris tics. Installing them in power systems leads to improved power systems, for example, superconducting generator (SCG) may make the systems stable. In t his paper, availability, usefulness, and specifications of superconducting power system apparatuses are discussed as improvement of system stability b y SCGs, system-diagnosis by use of superconducting magnetic energy storage, specifications of superconducting fault current limiter and a proposed one .
