The design of the blanket and shield play a key role in determining the size of a reactor since it has an impact on the various reactor components. The blanket should produce enough tritium for tritium self-sufficiency and the shield should provide sufficient protection for the superconducting TF coil. Neutronic optimization of the blanket and the shield is necessary, and we coupled the system analysis with a neutronic calculation to account for the interrelation of the blanket and shield with the plasma performance of a reactor system in a self-consistent manner. By using the coupled system analysis code, the operational space for a low aspect ratio (LAR) tokamak reactor with a superconducting toroidal field (TF) coil is investigated with an spect ratio in the range of 1.5 - 2.5. The minimum major radius which satisfies all the physics and engineering requirements increases with the magnetic field at the magnetic axis. A required inboard shield thickness is mainly determined by the requirement on the protection of the TF coil against radiation damage. It is shown that to have a fusion power bigger than 3,000 MW in the LAR tokamak with a superconducting TF coil, a major radius bigger than 4.0 m is required.

대용량 초전도 에너지저장장치(Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage, SMES)용 초전도 권선을 제작하기 위해서는 높은 자장특성을 가고 있는 2세대 고온초전도 (2nd Generation High-Temperature Superconductor, 2G HTS) 선재를 사용하는 것이 효율적이다. 자기에너지 저장 밀도를 높이기 위해서는 권선에 높은 전류밀도를 인가해야 하는데, 도체의 평면에 수직 방향으로 인가되는 자속밀도가 커지면 임계전류가 작아지는 2세대 HTS 선재의 특성상 토로이드 형태의 권선을 구성하는 것이 일반적이다. 이러한 고온초전도 권선을 설계하기 위해서는 권선 특성의 정확한 해석이 필요한데 이를 위해 유한요소법을 사용한 프로그램을 이용하여 해석이 가능하나 토로이드 형태의 권선은 대칭성의 문제로 3차원 해석을 해야만 하며, 이는 모델링에 많은 어려움과 높은 컴퓨터 사양, 그리고 매우 긴 계산 소요시간이 필요함을 의미한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 분석적이고 통계적으로 고온 초전도 코일에서 작용하는 최대 수직자장과 저장된 에너지를 결정하는데 이해하기 쉽고 효율적으로 계산하는 방법을 제시했다. 이 방법은 현저한 시간단축과 효율적인 설계를 할 수 있는 새로운 계산 방법으로 기존의 유한요소법에 의해 소요되는 계산 시간에 비해 1/1000정도로 계산시간 단축을 할 수 있었다.

AC Superconducting Generators (ACSG) are featured by 3D magnetic flux distribution, which decreases in the direction of axis. For this reason, when ACSG is optimal designed, 3D magnetic field analysis is required. This paper proposes 2D Finite Element Analysis (FEA) results normalized by 3D FEA according to the position of armature coil and the ratio of field coil width to axial length in order to reduce the analysis time. By using the proposed data, the reasonable 3D FEA results of ACSG can be only predicted by 2D FEA results. The validity of the 3D FEA results is verified by comparison with the experimental results of 30kVA superconducting synchronous generator.

In this paper, the characteristics of the shielded inductive superconducting fault current limiter(FCL) were simulated and analyzed. After determining parameters fo design for superconducting tube, iron core and primary coil, simple power system composed of shielded inductive FCL was simulated by the numerical analysis. The currents flowing under the fault condition could be limited below 50 A successfully. It was suggested that as the important factors of operational characteristics, the turns of primary coil and size of iron core play a major role for whether the shielded inductive SCFCL operated as inductive type or resistive type FCL.

This paper is a study on inductive superconducting fault current limiter design.. We have created simulation for an imaginery power system with inductive superconducting fault current limiter. Then input variables for characteristic analysis and actual manufacturing, and output variables for design results was assigned. Using the results from these variables, the design criterion was determined which was fed into concept design arising from characteristic analysis to determine the inductance of limiting coil and normal state resistance value of triggering coil. These result was put back into design details to finally give out the design result for inductive superconducting fault current limiter.

Superconducting synchronous motors compared with conventional motors can reduce the motor size and enhance the motor efficiency for low-speed and high torque applications under the space constraints for propulsion system. Especially, homopolar superconducting synchronous motors (HSSMs) need less superconductor and lower magnetic flux density in superconductor field coil than air-cored superconducting synchronous motors (ASSMs). In addition, mechanical structure is more simplified and stability is increased because the superconductor field coil of HSSMs is not rotated in operation. In this paper, we present the outline of HSSMs including structure, characteristics and operational principles with the conceptual design of 5MW HSSM.

Generally large synchronous rotating machines with 2 poles have more merits than the others with more than 2 poles Superconducting synchronous rotating machines also have the same tendency, but they have different structure from conventional ones because of no magnetic core inside of the rotor. As the result, design approaches of the superconducting field coils are also different, which would be classified into 2 types according to their coil shapes. The first one is race-track type and the other is saddle type Race-track type machines have almost the same structure with conventional salient pole generators which are being used as largely small scale machines with more than 2 poles. On the other hand saddle type machines correspond to conventional cylindrical generators with 2 poles used for large turbine system in power plants. In this paper several types of superconducting field coils are introduced for 2 pole superconducting machine design and then the feasibility of each type is considered. Moreover, based on the consideration. 1MVA superconducting generator(S.G.) with saddle type field coil is designed electromagnetically.

The fabrication and characteristics of HTS race-track type field coil for generators was carried out. Field coils are composed of 3 pancake coils wound by 37-filamental Bi-2223/Ag-alloy tapes. The winding machine is horizontal type. The critical currents (I$_c$) of the superconducting tapes were measured with variation of bending strain and external magnetic fields. I$_c$ of both whole field coils and 3 pancake coils were measured as a function of temperature. At 77K under the self-field, I$_c$ of whole field coils was 12A, while in the case of middle pancake coil, I$_c$ was 15A. The distribution of magnetic field B was obtained, using 3-D FEM. Our simulation showed that maximums of B${\bot}$A in x-y plane were locally distributed in both the upper and the lower coils. In addition, the fabrication processes and the characteristics of field coil are described.

The KSTAR (Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research) prototype TF (Toroidal Field) coil was tested in the superconducting coil test facility in KBSI (Korea basic Science Institute). The test was divided into several campaigns according to the objectives. The objectives of the first campaign were to cool the coil into operating temperature and to find any defect in the coil such as cold leaks. From the results of the first campaign, which was carried out during Jan. 2003, any defect in the TF prototype coil was not found. At the second campaign, the large-current charging experiment was one of the major issues, and was carried out during Aug. 2003 In this paper, the test preparation, and the test results of the second campaign were presented.

NMR over 1 GHz (23.5 T) level has difficulties in design and fabrication with only low temperature superconducting (LTS) wire because of its material characteristics such as the decay of critical current under the magnetic field. Because High temperature superconducting (HTS) tape has a good performance under the extremely high magnetic field, it has been developed for high-field magnet over 23.5 T. In this paper, the LTS magnet was made for applying magnetic fields externally and the HTS coil was designed and fabricated. The electromagnetic field analysis has been done with respect to the structure and the operating current of the LTS and HTS coil. Considering to the field homogeneity and the center field, the design parameters which is suitable for the HTS coil were found. The HTS insert coil was impregnated with epoxy resin in order to prevent the movement of winding during energizing the magnet. The hybrid magnet (LTS/HTS) magnet was fabricated and tested based on the design parameters. The experimental result shows that the LTS background magnet and the HTS insert coil can be operated stable beyond 220 A and 210 A. The final value 4.32 T at the center was acquired.
