Zusammenfassung:A number of proposed applications of superconductivity for the electric utility sector are described, the current status of their development is summarized, and the potential impact of successful development of high-temperature superconductors (HTSC's) is discussed. Performance goals for development of HTSCs are presented and compared with the current status of development of HTSCs. Applications discussed include large-scale generators, motors, transmission lines, magnetic storage, transformers, power electronics, and fault-current limiters. 15 refs., 1 fig., 3 tabs.
