By relying only on the conventional technology, it may be difficult to meet the recent requirements of electric power systems such as further improvement of the quality of electric power supply, environmental compatibility, and so on. Some of the limitations of conventional technology can be eliminated by the application of superconductivity technology. Roughly speaking, superconductivity‐applied components which have relatively high feasibility are the superconducting generator, small‐capacity SMES. and liquid nitrogen‐cooled superconducting cable. To use them practically, reliability, maintainability, controllability and economy must be improved to the level of conventional components.
