The conduction-cooled HTS SMES is operated in cryogenic and high vacuum condition. Thus. Insulation design at cryogenic temperature and high vacuum is a key and an important element that should be established to accomplish compact design is a big advantage of HTS SMES. However, the behaviors of insulators for cryogenic conditions in vacuum are virtually unknown. Therefore, active research and development of insulation concerning application of the conduction cooled HTS SMES was needed. In this study, the insulation characteristics at experimented high vacuum and cryogenic similar to running condition of SMES system. Also, investigated about insulation characteristics of suitable some materials to insulator for conduction-cooled HTS SMES. As these results. the basis data was obtained for insulation materials selection and insulation design for development of 600kJ class conduction-cooled HTS SMES.

This paper presents characteristics analysis of persistent current switch(PCS) system on a small scale by using YBCO coated conductor(CC). A high temperature superconductor(HTS) PCS system mainly consists of a PCS, a HTS magnet load and a magnet power supply(MPS). To design the optimal heater triggering switch. the three-dimensional heat conduction model was analyzed by finite element method(FEM). The electrical equivalent model considering the n-value of CC was applied to analyze current decay during persistent current mode. In the experiment and simulation, the heater was applied with a current of 0.43A and the current was ramped up to 10A and 20A with 0.2A/s. Finally, experimental results of the HTS PCS system have been compared with the theoretical results. It has been concluded that flux creep can not influence the results because the operating current was 40% of critical current and optimal sequential operation of the PCS system is indispensable to enhance its performance.

As new one of superconducting power supplies, we proposed an HTS flux pump utilized a solar energy system. As an eternal electric energy can be converted by the solar system, the solar energy system is promisingly applied as an energy source in the power applications. A solar energy system is comprised of solar panel, photo-voltaic (PV) controller, converter and battery. The HTS flux pump consists of an electromagnet, two thermal heaters and a Bi-2223 magnet. In this paper, we describe the possibility the fusion technology between superconducting power supply and solar energy system. As a fundamental step, the fabrication, structure and experimental results are explained.

In this paper, we describe the mechanical strain effects on the critical current density of HTS (BSCCO) pancake-type-magnet. Firstly the strain of pancake coil is calculated in terms of coil length, which is also a function of angle, and then the critical current density degradation due to strain is calculated along the coil. We assumed that the critical current density degradation pattern is same with that of $Nb_{3}Sn$. We also modelled the effects of magnetic field on the critical curent degradation, and the results are compared with those with null magnetic field.

Superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) has attracted a great deal of interest from the viewpoint of energy saving. The magnet of conduction-cooled high temperature superconducting (HTS) SMES is cooled down by a cryocooler. One of the most important problems to be assured the protection of magnet and cryocooler is breakdown at cryogenic temperature. In this study, we investigated insulation materials such as Kapton, Aluminum Nitride(AIN), Alumina($Al_2O_3$), glass fiber reinforced plastics(GFRP) and vacuum in cryogenic temperature. Also, we analyzed statistically the Weibull distribution of breakdown voltage.

The paper gives the results of the experiments with a model two-section REBCO solenoid cooled by either gaseous helium (GHe) or sub-cooled/solid nitrogen (SN2) in (50-77) K temperature range. The major cooling source was a single-stage cryocooler Sumitomo CH-110 with the cooling power of 175 W and 130 W at 77 K and 50 K respectively. The coil itself was not directly conduction cooled. We compare the time taken by both coolants to obtain the temperature of the magnet of about 50 K and the homogeneity of the temperature distribution within the cryostat. Test results for the coil operation in solid nitrogen together with the comparison of its critical properties in SN2 and GHe are also presented.

This study deals with the ferromagnetic shims design based on the spherical harmonic coefficient reduction method. The design method using the sequential search method is an intuitive method and has the advantage of quickly reaching the optimal result. The study was conducted for a 400 MHz all-REBCO magnet, which had difficulty in shimming due to the problem of SCF (screening current induced field). The initial field homogeneity of the magnet was measured to be 233.76 ppm at 20 mm DSV (Diameter Spherical Volume). In order to improve the field homogeneity of the magnet, the ferromagnetic shim with a thickness of 1 mil to 11 mil was constructed by a design method in which sequential search algorithm was applied. As a result, the field homogeneity of the magnet could be significantly improved to 0.24 ppm at 20 mm DSV and 0.05 ppm at 10 mm DSV.

In most of electrical applications using Bi-2223/Ag HTS tapes, bending and tension stresses are essentially applied to the tape. Therefore, the critical current of the Bi-2223/Ag tape is degraded by increasing the deformation stress, though brittle superconducting filaments are embedded in the reinforced Ag alloy sheath. It is needed to understand bending and tension properties of HTS tapes at room temperature and cryogen to make superconducting magnet, cable and etc. using Bi-2223/Ag HTS tapes. Actually, bending and tension stress applied to the tapes simultaneously, when winding the tapes on former for applications. In this study, the effect of mechanical deformations, bending and tension, on the critical current of Bi-2223/Ag tape was investigated.

In this paper, flux distribution and operating current is calculated according to the field coil change in HTS(High Temperature Superconducting) motor.
