R&D Results of the Super-ACE Project

The Superconducting—AC Equipment (Super-ACE) project was started in 2000 fiscal year as a national project to research and develop superconducting AC power equipment. The goal of the project is to develop basic technologies for high-temperature superconducting (HTS) cable, HTS fault current limiters (FCL), and HTS magnets for reactors and transformers. This paper describes major results of studies on the HTS superconductors, and outlines some of the results of verification testing completed for 500-m cable, FCL and HTS magnets.
