These days, a momentary power interruption or a voltage sag has increased in the factories and distribution lines due in part to the widespread use of power electronics devices and renewable energy sources. Within this background, the high temperature superconducting magnetic energy storage (HTS-SMES) Project started during 10 years since Sept. 2004. We successfully developed a 600kJ HTS-SMES pilot system in 2007. We have also studied on "A Development of 2.5MJ Class HTS-SMES" for four years. Our final target will be the commercialization of this system. This paper describes on an overview of HTS-SMES Project in Korea.
