The main issues for the power application of high Tc superconducting tape are lower AC loss and higher stability conditions. HTS tape has large stability margin by high heat capacity of superconductor itself and high temperature margin. But, it can be damaged by continuous heat generation at quench point, because normal zone propagation velocity by generating heat is very low. Here, we analyze the quench propagation characteristics using finite element method for BSCCO-2223 HTS tape.

The thermal characteristics of quench propagation is a crucial problem for the stability of the superconductor. The objective of this study is to simulate the quench propagation with the variation of disturbance energy in Bi-2223/Ag HTS pancake coil. In this analysis, the temperature-time trace of a point away from heater was calculated under conditions of different quench energy. The critical disturbance energy between quench propagation and quench recovering was calculated, In addition, the minimum quench energy with different transport currents was obtained through the present simulation. These results are significant to the application of HTS.

Bi-2223 High-Temperature Superconducting(HTS) tape is one of the most widely used HTS tape for power application. Characteristics of the over current of HTS tape with different sheath are described. This paper presents the basic properties such as temperature and resistivity rise of the Bi-2223 HTS tape which is exposed to the over current. It is expected that results from this study can be utilized as basic data in designing superconducting power devices.

Voltage-current characteristics of High Temperature Superconductor(HTS) tapes after applying the current beyond their critical current was investigated. When over-current is applied, the current begins to flow through the metal sheath instead of superconductor. The HTS tapes quenched were analyzed using V-I curve with various magnitudes of current. Two kinds of tapes were compared with each other to examine the influence of critical current on quench development. As a result, it was found that the resistance of superconductors and joule heat due to the over-current affect current distribution in HTS tapes. Critical current of HTS tapes was considered as a main factor deciding over-current characteristics.

Motors with HTS wires or bulks have been developing recently. Those are large synchronous motor with HTS wires at the field winding in the rotor, hysteresis and reluctance motors with HTS bulk in the rotor. This paper presents the fabrication and test results of an HTS induction motor. Conventional end rings and short bars were replaced with HTS wires in the motor. Stator of the conventional induction motor was used as the stator of the HTS motor. Rated capacity and rpm at full rotor of the conventional motor were 0.75[kW] and 1,710[rpm]. Two, HTS wires are used in parallel to make the end rings and bars. The critical current of the BSCCO-2223 HTS wire which was used in the bars and end rings were 115[A]. Electrodynamometer was coupled directly to the shaft of the rotor with HTS wires.

Recently, superconductor flywheel energy storage systems (SFESs) have been developed for application to a regenerative power of train, a power quality improvement, the storage of distributed power sources such as solar and wind power, and a load leveling. As the high temperature superconductor (HTS) bearings offer dynamic stability without the use of active control, accurate analysis of the HTS bearing is very important for application to SFESs. Mechanical property of a HTS bearing is the main index for evaluating the capacity of an HTS bearing and is determined by the interaction between the HTS bulks and the permanent magnet (PM) rotor. HTS bearing rotor consists of PM and iron collector and the proper dimension design of them is very important to determine a supporting characteristics. In this study, we have optimized a rotor magnet array, which depends on the limited bulk size and performed various dimension layouts for thickness of the pole pitch and iron collector. HTS bearing rotor was installed into a single axis universal test machine for a stiffness test. A hydraulic pump was used to control the amplitude and frequency of the rotor vibration. As a result, the stiffness result showed a large difference more than 30 % according to the thickness of permanent magnet and iron collector. This is closely related to the bulk stiffness controlled by flux pining area, which is limited by the total bulk dimension. Finally, the optimized HTS bearing rotor was installed into a flywheel system for a dynamic stability test. We discussed the dynamic properties of the superconductor bearing rotor and these results can be used for the optimal design of HTS bearings of the 10kWh SFESs.

An equivalent circuit for the superconductor flux flow transistor(SFFT) was combined with high temperature cooling device, based on the analogy between thermal and electrical variables using the high-temperature superconductor(HTS), is proposed. The device is composed of parallel weak links with a nearby magnetic control line.

The critical current of the HTS(High Temperature Superconductor) tape is governed by cooling temperature, magnetic field and its angle to HTS tape originated from its geometrical structure. At the HTS coil design stage, the critical current of the coil is calculated by considering the Ic-B characteristics of the 2G tape and the operating current is determined based on the critical current. The operating current and the structure of the 5 T coil are suggested through the FEM (Finite Elements Method) analysis and calculation. As a part of our on-going research on a 20 T LTS/HTS magnet, we have designed and constructed a 5 T HTS insert coil and tested it in liquid helium temperature.

The substantial improvement of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) can be achieved with small-size samples or low-field MRI system by high-temperature superconducting(HTS) RF coil. The typical HTS RF coil made of HTS thin film is expensive and is limited the coil geometry to planar surface coil. In this study, commercial Bi-2223 HTS tapes was used as RF coil for a 0.35T permanent MRI system. It has advantages of both much lower cost and easier fabrication over HTS thin film coil. SNR gain of the image obtained from the HTS RF coil over a conventional Cu RF coil at room temperature was about 2.4-fold and 1.9-fold using the spin echo pulse sequence and gradient echo pulse sequence respectively.
