Summary

The information was obtained mainly during the author's 18-month stay in Twente University, the Netherlands, from March 1997 to September 1998. There are two strong impressions on the European activities of HTS: 1) collaboration among industries, national laboratories and universities is strong, and 2) R&D for HTS power application is vitally proceeding. The organization named SCENET (European Network for Superconductivity) plays in important role in linking government laboratories, universities, and industrial laboratories. Many activities are focusing on the power applications of HTS. Two groups are vitally developing multifilamentary Bi2223 tapes with an interfilamentary resistive barrier. Long-period operating tests of a 630 kVA transformer and a 1.2 MVA fault-current limiter have been successfully completed by the ABB group, which is now proceeding to the next phase of capacity increase of the apparatuses. Some other activities are also reported here.
