Abstract

This paper summarizes the R&D trends of superconductivity applications in the electric power sector of the Japanese government and power companies. The background of superconducting generators (SCG) and superconducting magnetic energy storage are mentioned. The recent results of low-temperature/high-temperature superconductors for power apparatus in the Super-GM project are reported and the progress, field testing, and analytical method of SCG are also described.
