A 1 MVA single-phase high temperature superconducting (HTS) transformer with BSCCO-2223 wire was designed in this paper. The rated voltages of each sides of the transformer are 22.9 kV and 6.6 kV respectively. Double pancake HTS windings arranged reciprocally will be used for the transformer windings, because of the advantages of insulation and distribution of surge voltage in case of a large power and high voltage transformer. Single HTS wire was used for the primary windings and four parallel wires were used for the secondary windings of the transformer with transposition. A core of the transformer was designed as a shell type core separated with the windings by a cryostat made of GFRP with a room temperature bore. The operating temperature of the HTS windings will be about 65K with sub-cooled liquid nitrogen. A cryogenic cooling system using a GM-cryocooler for this HTS transformer by natural convection of liquid nitrogen was designed. This type of cooling system can be a good option for compactness, efficiency, and reliability of the HTS transformer.

In superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) systems, the current leads are usually divided into two parts. Normal metals like brass or copper are often used in the first part from the room temperature to the 1st stage of the cryocooler. Their dimensions were decided to minimize the conduction heat penetration and Ohm's heat generation. The second part down to the cryogenic coil is made of high temperature superconductor (HTS). HTS current leads can reduce the conductive heat penetration because they have poor thermal conductivity and generate no Ohm's heat generation. The brass current lead and the HTS current lead were designed and fabricated for application to the 10kJ class SMES system. The HTS current lead is 300A class. The HTS current lead was stacked with 2 HTS layers using the $Bi_2Sr_2Ca_2Cu_3O_x$ (BSCCO)/Ag. In this paper, we introduce the design procedure of the current leads and discuss the test results of the current leads.

The characteristics of the Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) system are faster response, longer life time, more economical, and environment friendly than other Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) using battery. Fast charge and discharge time of SMES system can provide powerful performance of improving power quality in the grid. In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of SMES, the authors make a 10kJ SMES system for connection with RTDS (Real Time Digital Simulator). Because the characteristics of superconducting magnet are very important in SMES system, the necessary items such as thermal characteristic, mechanical stress and protection circuit should be considered. In this paper, the authors experimented thermal characteristics of the 10kJ SMES system. The experiment was accomplished using a simulation coils made of aluminium. It has same dimension of the 10kJ class HTS SMES coil. The coil was cooled with GM (Gifford -McMahon) cryocooler through the OFHC (Oxgen Free High thermal Conductivity) conduction bar. The test results of cool down and heat loads characteristics of the simulation coils are described in detail.

KAONICS(KAO Near Infrared Camera System)와 같은 적외선 카메라는 열잡음제거가 매우 중요하다. 입사창을 통해 들어오는 외부의 열복사 이외에도 카메라의 외벽을 통해 유입되는 열복사가 배경복사로서 검출기에 입사하여 시스템의 성능을 저하 시키며 그 양은 무시할 수 없다. 따라서 배경복사와 검출기 자체의 열잡음을 줄이기 위해서 카메라 내부의 광학계 전체와 검출기를 냉각해야만 한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 J, H, Ks, L 파장 대를 관측하기 위한 내부 냉각온도를 정량적으로 결정하였으며 카메라 외부에서 유입되는 복사량을 추산하고 냉각에 필요한 냉각 열용량을 추정하여 냉각기를 선택하였다. 선택된 냉각기를 이용하여 냉각할 때 Cold-Box가 목표온도에 도달하는 시간과 최종 냉각 온도를 계산하여 시스템 제작에 반영하였다.

In order to accelerate hydrogen society in current big renewable energy trend, it is very important that hydrogen can be transported and stored as a fuel in efficient and economical fashion. In this perspective, liquid hydrogen can be considered as one of the most prospective storage methods that can bring early arrival of the hydrogen society by its high gravimetric energy density. In this study, a small-scale hydrogen liquefier has been designed and developed to demonstrate direct hydrogen liquefaction technology. Gifford-McMahon (GM) cryocooler was employed to cool warm hydrogen gas to normal boiling point of hydrogen at 20K. Various cryogenic insulation technologies such as double walled vacuum vessels and multi-layer insulation were used to minimize heat leak from ambient. A liquid nitrogen assisted precooler, two ortho-para hydrogen catalytic converters, and highly efficient heat pipe were adapted to achieve the target liquefaction rate of 1L/hr. The liquefier has successfully demonstrated more than 1L/hr of hydrogen liquefaction. The system also has demonstrated its versatile usage as a very efficient 150L liquid hydrogen storage tank.

There have been many types of development and commercialization efforts for superconducting power applications with the continuous development of High Temperature Superconducting (HTS) conductors. In particular, HTS power cables are going to be commercialized in real power grids. A cryogenic refrigeration system should be used to keep it below 77 K, and its required cooling capacity continuously increases as the unit length of the HTS power cable increases. Among the many kinds of cryogenic refrigerator, a reverse Brayton refrigerator that uses turbo expanders is a promising refrigerator due to its efficiency and reliability. Among the various components in refrigerators, the cryogenic turbo-expander is the most important part for increasing efficiency and assuring reliability. The design of a 300 W class turbo-expander is described in this paper prior to the development of a 10 kW class turbo expander, which is the required capability for the commercialization of a HTS power cable. The impeller shape and rotation speed are determined based on the cycle analysis. The Eigen frequency and harmonic analysis are conducted with gas bearings at cryogenic temperatures to determine the operational stability.

This paper describes the development and fabrication of a high temperature superconducting motor which consists of HTS rotor and air-core stator. The machine was designed for the rated power of 100hp at 1800 rpm. The HTS field windings are composed of the double-pancake coils wound with AMSC's SUS-reinforced Bi-2223 tape conductor. These were assembled on the support structure and fixed by a bandage of glass-fiber composite. The cooling system is based on the heat transfer mechanism of the thermosyphon by using GM cryocooler as cooling source. The cold head is in contact with the condenser of a Ne-filled thermosyphon. The rotor assembly was tested independently at the stationary state and combined with stator. Characteristic parameters such as reactances, inductances, and time constants were determined to obtain a consistent overview of the machine operation properties. This motor has met all design parameters by demonstrating HTS field winding, cryogenic refrigeration systems and an air-core armature winding cooled with air. The HTS field winding could be cooled down below 30K. No-load test of open-circuit characteristics(OCC) and short-circuit characteristics(SCC) and load test with resistive load bank were conducted in generator mode. Maximum operating current of field winding at 30K was 120A. From OCC and SCC test results synchronous inductance and synchronous reactance were 2.4mH, 0.49pu, respectively. Efficiency of this HTS machine was 93.3% in full load(100hp) test. This paper will present design, construction, and basic experimental test results of the 100hp HTS machine.

The superconducting NMR magnets have used cryogen such as liquid helium for their cooling. The conduction cooling method using cryocoolers, however, makes the cryogenic cooling system for NMR magnets more compact and user-friendly than the cryogen cooling method. This paper describes the thermal and structural analysis of a cryogenic conduction cooling system for a 400 MHz HTS NMR magnet, focusing on the magnet assembly. The highly thermo-conductive cooling plates between HTS double pancake coils are used to transfer the heat generated in coils, namely Joule heating at lap splice joints, to thermal link blocks and finally the cryocooler. The conduction cooling structure of the HTS magnet assembly preliminarily designed is verified by thermal and structural analysis. The orthotropic thermal properties of the HTS coil, thermal contact resistance and radiation heat load are considered in the thermal analysis. The thermal analysis confirms the uniform temperature distribution for the present thermal design of the NMR magnet within 0.2 K. The mechanical stress and the displacement by the electromagnetic force and the thermal contraction are checked to verify structural stability. The structural analysis indicates that the mechanical stress on each component of the magnet is less than its material yield strength and the displacement is acceptable in comparison with the magnet dimension.
