  • Recently, many researches on the system of superconducting power supply and superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) using high temperature superconducting (HTS) tapes has been progressed. Those kinds of superconducting devices use the heater trigger switches that have a control delay problem at moments of heating up and cooling down. One way to reduce the time delay is using a different HTS tape at trigger part. For example, HTS tape having lower critical temperature can reduce time delay of heating up and heating down stage for heater trigger operation. This paper deals with resistances joint with different kinds of HTS tapes which have different properties to verify usefulness of the suggested method. Three kinds of commercial HTS tapes with different specifications are selected as samples and two kinds of solders are used for comparison. Joint is performed with temperature and pressure controllable joint machine and the joint characteristics are analyzed under the repeatable conditions.

  • We analyzed the temperature dependency of the AC losses in high temperature superconducting (HTS) coils. In the case of a short sample of an HTS tape, the magnetization loss at 4.2 K could be higher than the one at 77 K for a same transport current. It happens when the perpendicular magnetic field is above a certain magnitude. The AC loss characteristics of solenoidal coils have been analyzed at the temperatures of 65 K and 77 K. They were categorized by the aspect ratios. The operating current of a solenoid was normally set about 70 % of the critical current. An HTS solenoid with the same operating current of 77 K causes larger AC losses at 65 K in the most cases of the HTS solenoids. We also analyzed the AC loss characteristics due to the temperature variations for three types of superconducting magnetic energy storages. Two of them were solenoidal types and the other was toroidal type. The results showed the tendency for the coils to have higher AC losses at lower temperature with the same operating currents and scenarios.

  • Many superconductor applications such as MRI and SMES must be operated in persistent current mode to eliminate the electrical ohmic loss. This paper presents the characteristic analysis of the high temperature superconducting (HTS) power supply made of YBCO coated conductor (CC). In this research, we have manufactured the HTS power supply to charge the 0.73 mH HTS double-pancake magnet made of YBCO CC. Among the all design parameters, the heater triggerring time and magnet applying time were the most important factors for the best performance of the HTS power supply. In this paper, three-dimensional simulation through finite element method (FEM) was used to study the heat transfer in YBCO CC and the magnetic field of the magnetic circuit. Based upon these results, the final operational sequence could be determined to generate the pumping current. In the experiment, the maximum pumping current reached about 16 A.

  • 대용량 SMES(Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage)를 제작하기 위해서는 높은 자장특성을 가고 있는 2세대 HTS(High-Temperature Superconductor) 선재를 사용하는 것이 효율적이다. SMES의 에너지밀도를 높이기 위해서는 선재에 많은 전류를 흘려야 하는데, 수직자기장이 커지면 임계전류가 작아지는 2세대 HTS 선재의 특성상 토로이드형태의 SMES가 유리하다. SMES를 설계하기 전에 선재의 사용량을 줄이고 체적을 줄이기 위해서 정확한 설계와 평가가 필요하다. 유한요소법을 사용한 상용프로그램을 이용하여 쉽게 해석할 수 있으나 토로이드 형태의 SMES는 대칭성의 문제로 3차원 해석을 해야만 한다. 그러나 2차원 해석에 비해 여러 가지 제약조건이 따르며 해석 시간이 많이 소요된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 분석적이고 통계적으로 고온 초전도 코일에서 작용하는 최대 수직자장을 결정하는데 이해하기 쉽고 효율적으로 계산하는 방법을 제시했다. 본 논문에서는 싱글펜케이크코일의 크기에 따른 최대 자장값을 계산하였고 싱글펜케이크코일이 토로이드형태로 배치된 토로이드 모델에서 주변코일이 싱글펜케이크코일의 미드포인트에 미치는 자장값을 계산하여 두 계산값을 합하는 방식으로 최대 자기장을 계산하였다. 이 방법은 현저한 시간단축과 효율적인 설계를 할 수 있는 새로운 계산 방법으로 기존 FEM을 사용해 걸리는 시간에 비해 1/1000정도의 시간단축을 할 수 있었다.

  • The cryogenic system for 6.6 kV/200 A inductive superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) was developed at Yonsei university in 2003. The sub-cooled nitrogen cryogenic system could be applied to not only SFCL but also many other applied high-Tc superconducting (HTS) devices like superconducting motor, superconducting generator and superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES). Generally, the cooling capacity of GM-cryocooler depends on the load temperature. Therefore it is necessary to perform the cooling capacity test at no load condition to calculate the exact cooling power and heat load of cryogenic system. In this research, the cooling capacity test of GM-cryocooler was executed and the heat load of developed cryogenic system was calculated. The long run operation test results of sub-cooled nitrogen cryogenic system were successful in pressure and temperature condition. Moreover, the design and fabrication method of cryogenic system were introduced and the test results were described.

  • The important merit of Bi-2212/Ag wire is to apply cable as round wire state. Bi-2212 high Tc superconducting wires were fabricated in order to apply Rutherford cable near the future. Various Ag ratio from 0.22 to 0.42 of Ag tubes for PID (powder-In-Tube) process were used to investigate the workability and to prevent breakage of filaments during drawing. KERI and Nexans Korea manufactured Rutherford cabling machine by ourselves. Rutherford cables with 20 - 30 strands could be fabricated by this machine. The shape of Rutherford cables were satisfied. The critical current of Bi2212/Ag round wire with 847 filaments showed 400 A at 4.2K and self field.
