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.

대용량의 초전도 전력기기에 사용되는 도체는 일반적으로 대전류를 통전할 수 있는 도체를 필요로 한다. 특히 SMES와 같이 펄스적으로 운전하는 코일에서 도체의 전류 용량을 증가시키면서 동시에 교류손실을 줄이는 방법으로 도체를 제조하기 위해서는 여러 가닥의 소선을 꼬아서 만드는 러더포드 케이블로 제조할 필요가 있으며 이를 위해서는 소선이 원형 상태를 유지하고 있어야 한다. Bi-2212 고온초전도선은 유일하게 원형 상태에서의 응용이 가능하므로 이 선의 개발 및 케이블 공정 개발은 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 Bi-2212 고온초전도 소선을 사용하여 Rutherford 케이링을 할 수 있는 장치를 개발하였으며, 이 장치를 이용하여 복합 다심의 Bi-2212 초전도 소선을 8본, 20본 그리고 30본의 Bi-2212 러더포드 케이블을 110 m 길이까지 가공하였다. 제조한 러더포드 케이블 시료를 열처리에서의 부분용융 온도를 변화시키는 것으로 열처리 조건을 연구하였고, 77K, 64K 그리고 4.2K에서 임계전류 특성을 조사하였다. 또한 초전도 소선의 미세 조직을 관찰을 통하여 초전도 특성을 향상시키고자 하였다. 그래서 30본의 Bi-2212 러더포드 케이블에서 4.2K 온도로 환산하였을 때 5000 A를 초과하는 특성을 얻을 수 있었다.

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. In order to find proper heat treatment condition, we investigated micro-structure of Bi-2212/Ag wires by using differential thermal analysis, XRD and SEM. The effect of atmosphere on the peritectic decomposition temperature of precursor was investigated. The shape of grain was observed by SEM to investigate Bi-2212 phase formation in filaments. The higher of Ag ratio of mono filament had the higher critical current density, Jc. The wire with 0.42 of Ag ratio showed 7,886 A/cm2 of Jc at 77K.

Research and development on superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) system have been done to realize efficient electric power management for several decades. Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute (KERI) has developed a 3MJ/750kV A SMES system to improve power quality in sensitive electric loads. It consists of an IGBT based power converter, NbTi mixed matrix Rutherford cable superconducting magnet, and a cryostat with HTS current leads. A computer code was developed to find the parameters of the SMES magnet which has minimum amount of superconductors for the same stored energy, and the 3MJ SMES magnet was designed based upon that. This paper describes the fabrication and experimental results of a 3MJ/750kV A SMES system.

Round shape Bi2212/Ag is isotropic and can be fabricated Rutherford cable to transport high current. Bi2212/Ag round wires with various Ag ratio were fabricated using powder-in-tube process. Double stacked 385 (55\times$7) filamentary wire of various wire diameter was heat-treated at various melting temperature. Wires which have Ag ratio of 0.3 and 0.42 of Ag tube for monofilament show similar critical current density. As average filament diameter decreases from 33 to 16 \mu$m, critical current density of wires increase, and in case of 16 ${\mu}m$ and $T_m$ 890$^{\circ}C$, critical current density was 2,062 $A/mm^2$ at 4.2 K, 0 T.
