Quench and recovery process of high-temperature-superconductor (HTS) film deposited on the sapphire substrate is studied numerically. The quench is developed by fault current and the superconductivity is recovered by convection of heat into coolant. After the fault current. the HTS film experiences the quench state. current sharing state. and finally recovers the superconductivity. Numerical results of this study are compared to the previous experimental results. and shows that this numerical work can explain the mechanism of quench/recovery characteristics of HTS film.

In the design of superconducting cable systems, quench analysis have to be advanced for applying to a real systems. It is necessary to calculate the current, voltage and resistance during the quench. Simulation program named EMTDC was used to analyze the quench state. Normal zone evaluation and quench development with EMTDC are one of the major features of quench analysis. This paper presents the two kinds of quench control models which are the Switch Control Type and the Fortran Control Type. In case of the quench developing area, the simplicity cable model consist of resistance, inductance and capacitance. The impedance of the pipe type superconducting cable is calculated by numerical analysis method. The resistance and inductance increased during quench. However the variation have an effect on the fault current. The voltage was also developed by resistance and inductance. This paper presents the relationship between the current. voltage, resistance and inductance during quench.

This paper deals with the detection method of the Quench phenomenon for superconducting magnet using the Acoustic Emission (AE) sensor. AE sensor is the elements, which is used to change the Acoustic signal to the voltage value. This signal may be used to detect whether the superconducting magnet has been at the Quench state or not. Recently, the development of the Quench detection technique, which is the using voltage and current signals, fiber-optic sensor, and so on, for the superconducting applications is widely studying. This method for the Quench detection of the superconducting magnet is also studying at some kinds of institute in Japan and the united state. Because of the large-scale superconducting magnet like International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor(ITER) is charged a lot of energy, when the Quench phenomenon is being at the superconducting magnet it is happen to the problem of the protection for the applications. In this paper, we concluded that the Quench detection was possible when the mechanical stress by means of the local heat is generated at the part of inside superconducting magnets.

As electric power transmission systems grow to supply the increasing electric power demand, transmission capacity is larger. but that's really difficult to secure the location for power transmission and distribution to user. The high temperature superconducting(HTS) cable is a method to solve this problem. But for applying to real systems, it needs to investigate the effect of HTS cable. The most important things is the investigation of fault condition. the fault on HTS cable include the quench state. When a fault occur in a circuit, three critical parameters(temperature, current density, magnetic field) exist. when one of these parameters exceeds the critical value, the superconducting becomes normal-conducting. f the cooling power is insufficient to recover the superconducting state, the normal-conducting zone expands. In order to solve these problem, this paper present simulate the quench state considering the over-current and over-voltage in the informal circuit and analyze the quench state.

In this paper we analyzed the electromagnetic behavior of a superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) under the quench state using FEM. The analysis model used in this work is 5.5 KVA meander-line type SFCLs which are currently developed by Superconductor Power System Lab in Korea Electric Power Research Institute. Meshes of 3,650 triangular elements were used in the analysis of this SFCL. Analysis results showed that the distribution of current density was concentrated to inner curved line in meander-line type SFCL and the maximum current density was 14.61 A/$m^2$ and also the maximum Joule heat was 2,030 W/$m^2$ in this region. We think that the new and the modified structure must be considered for an uniform distribution of the electromagnetic field.

We studied YBCO films for current limiting of the resistive type which utilizes a transition from superconducting to normal state caused by exceeding critical current. The films were deposited on sapphire substrates and covered by gold top layer. The current limiting element consists of 2 mm wide YBCO stripes connected in series. A serious problem in using YBCO films for current limiting is inhomogeneities caused by imperfect manufacturing. Therefore simultaneous quench is a difficult problem when elements for current limiting are connected in series. So some researchers have recently proposed using magnetic field and heating for simultaneous quench. We have measured extended exec trim field-current density(E-J) characteristics for current limiting elements of YBCO films in applied magnetic field of 0 - 130 mT. And we have investigated quench characteristics in current limiting elements and between elements of YBCO films in applied magnetic field. The result of the experiments show that the presence of applied magnetic fields induces uniform quench distribution fur the stripes in element at $50V_{rms}$, otherwise non-uniform quenches were observed. And simultaneous quenches between elements were investigated at $150V_{rms}$. We suggest that suppressing the critical current by increased fields due to fault current effectively forced the stripes of higher $J_{c}$(0) to quench, resulting in equalizing quench times.s.s.s.

In order to meet the needs of domestic reactor severe accident analysis program, a MIDAC (Module Invessel Degraded severe accident Analysis Code) is developed and maintained by Xi'an Jiaotong University. As the accuracy of the calculation results of the analysis program is of great significance for the formulation of severe accident mitigation measures, the article select three experiments to evaluate the updated severe accident models of MIDAC. Among them, QUENCH-06 is the international standard No.45, QUENCH-16 is a test for the analysis of air oxidation, and FROMA is an out-of-pile fuel rod melting experiment recently carried out by Xi'an Jiaotong University. The heating and melting model with lumped parameter method and the steam oxidation model with Cathcart-Pawel and Volchek-Zvonarev correlations combination in MIDAC could better meet the needs of severe accident analysis. Although the influence of nitrogen still need to be further improved, the air oxidation model with NUREG still has the ability to provide guiding significance for engineering practice.

This paper deals with the quench characteristic analysis in high-Tc superconducting synchronous motor of five to six hundred watts capacity. First, the magnetic field distribution and ac losses of high-Tc superconducting motor with the additive flux damper circuit was derived and computer simulation was performed with the equivalent model using FEM. The simulation results show that the quench state lasts for about 0.3 seconds.
