This paper covers stability and protection issues for high-temperature superconducting (HTS) systems, i.e., magnets and transmission cables for electric power devices. Following a review of stability and protection for superconducting magnets, we present simulation work on stability for LN2-cooled composite YBCO tape subjected to disturbance with Ag layer thickness as a key variable: 1) steady dissipation generated over a short length of the composite where, because of conductor degradation, Ic is less than a nominal specified value; and 2) transient heating due to an overcurrent pulse. The stability work is followed by discussion of protection for HTS based on a novel concept recently introduced and being developed presently at MIT: use of solid nitrogen with composite HTS to enhance superconducting stability to such a degree that a complete interruption of the system operation, the only practical but highly disruptive way to protect HTS, will be necessary only in the rarest instances. .
