High-temperature superconducting (HTS) materials

with their high current-carrying density and zero-resistance characteristics

are recognized as a revolutionary direction for next-generation power systems. Driven by China's "Dual-carbon" goals and supported by national key R&D programs

China has achieved a series of breakthroughs in material development

equipment manufacturing

and engineering demonstrations. This paper systematically reviews the latest research progress of high-temperature superconducting power applications and related technologies in China as follows: in the field of superconducting tapes

high-temperature superconducting tape manufacturers represented by Shanghai Superconductor Technology Co.

Ltd. have taken the lead in breaking through the bottleneck problem of materials. The engineering current density of domestic REBCO layer has been increased to 4 MA/cm2 (77 K

self-field)

ranking among the top in the world. In terms of superconducting power equipment

great achievements have been made in the fields of superconducting cables

superconducting current limiters

superconducting transformers

superconducting reactors

superconducting energy storage devices

superconducting motors

and future controlled nuclear fusion

through demonstration projects

such as the world-leading Shanghai 1.2 km

35 kV/1.2 kA superconducting cable demonstration project

the Nan'ao island ±160 kV superconducting current limiter demonstration project

etc. The combination of production

education

and research among domestic universities and enterprises to complement each other's advantages

outstanding achievements and remarkable results have also been achieved. With the recent rise of future energy systems

new application scenarios and trends have emerged through the coordinated development of the complete superconducting industry chain. However

large-scale commercialization still faces challenges including cryogenic system reliability

insufficient mechanical strength of tapes

and high life cycle costs. Future development should focus on high-strength superconducting tapes

novel refrigeration technologies

and multi-physics coupling design

while exploring new commercialization pathways.This review aims to provide strategic insights for China's HTS power technology development.
