This paper presents an analytic method to calculate energy conversion between electromagnetically coupled high-temperature superconducting and copper coils. The energy transfer from one coil to the other is commonly observed during quench of a no-insulation (NI) high temperature superconductor (HTS) magnet. Proper understanding of this phenomenon is particularly important to protect an NI HTS magnet, especially to avoid any potential mechanical damages. In this paper, analytic equations are obtained to estimate the energy transfer between the NI and copper coils. The well-known lumped-parameter circuit model is adopted provided that key parameters of the coils are given.

High Tc superconducting(HTS) model coil was prepared. Current-voltage(I-V) characteristic curves of model coil, sub-coils and joints were investigated at 77K and other some temperatures. Cooling system for characteristics measurement was made by using G-M cryocooler. At 77K, quench current(Iq) of model coil was 43.9A and the lowest Iq of sub-coils was 38.8A. At 55K, sub coil SP #06 was 106A. So, 100A was chosen as the operating current at 55K with margin. Joule heat of model coil was 0.65W at 100A, operating current and 58K. Joint resistances between sub-coils were about $70n{\Omega}$ at 77K and about $30n{\Omega}$ at 55K.

The superconducting motor shows several advantages such as smaller size and higher efficiency against conventional motor especially utilized in ship propulsion application. However, this size reduction merit appears in large capacity more than several MW. We are going to develop a 5MW class synchronous motor with rotating High-Temperature Superconducting (HTS) coil. that is aimed to be utilized for ship propulsion so it has very low-speed, The ship propulsion motor must generate very high electromagnetic torque instead of low-speed. Therefore. the rotor (field) coils need very large magnetic flux that results in large amount of expensive HTS conductor for the field coil. In this paper a 5MW HTS motor for ship propulsion is considered to be designed with construction cost reduced via HTS field coil cost reduction because HTS conductor cost is critical factor in the construction cost of HTS motor. In order to reduce the HTS conductor amount. iron-cored rotor types are considered. so several cases with iron-core are compared one another and with an air-core case.

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.

Following the successful development of practical high temperature superconducting (HTS) wires, there has been renewed activity in the development of superconducting power equipments. HTS equipments must be operated in the coolant, such as liquid nitrogen (L$N_2$) or cooled by cooler, such as GM-cryocooler to maintain the temperature below critical temperature. In this paper, dielectric strength of some insulating materials, such as epoxy, teflon, and glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) in L$N_2$was measured. Surface breakdown voltage of GFRP which is basic property in design of HTS solenoid coil was measured. Epoxy is a goof insulating material but it is fragile at cryogenic temperature. The multi-layer insulating method of current lead is suggested to compensate this fragile property. It consists of teflon tape layer and epoxy layer fixed with texture. Based on these measurements, the 6.6㎸ class HTS magnet for DC reactor type high-T$_{c}$ superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) was successfully fabricated and tested.d.

많은 풍력회사들은 큰 용량, 작은 크기 및 가벼운 무게의 풍력 발전기를 개발하기 위해 노력해 왔다. 고온초전도 풍력발전기는 기존의 풍력 발전기에 비해 부피와 중량을 줄일 수 있기 때문에 풍력 발전시스템에 더 적합하다. 그러나 고온초전도 발전기는 큰 진공 용기 및 계자 코일의 유지 보수가 어려운 문제를 가지고 있다. 이러한 문제는 고온초전도 계자 코일의 모듈화를 통해 해소될 수 있다. 그런데 고온초전도 모듈 코일에는 직류 전류를 전달하기 위한 전류 리드가 필요하며, 이는 큰 열전달 부하를 발생시킨다. 따라서 전류 리드는 전도 및 Joule 열 부하를 줄이기 위해 최적으로 설계되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 750 kW급 고온초전도 발전기에 대한 모듈 코일의 구조 설계 및 열 해석을 다루었다. 모듈 코일의 전도 및 복사열 해석은 3D 유한요소법 프로그램을 사용하여 분석하였으며, 그 결과 총 열부하는 극저온 냉각장치의 냉각 용량보다 작았다. 본 논문에서 제시한 설계 및 해석결과는 풍력 발전시스템의 초전도 발전기 개발에 효과적으로 활용할 수 있을 것이다.

This paper presents the optimization for shape design of a field coil used High Temperature Superconducting Motor (HTSM). In materials of HTSM, critical current Ic is more sensitive to magnetic fields directed along the axis or the unit cell ($B_{\bot}$). Thus, in the shape design of the HTS magnet. the maximum $B_{\bot}$ should be reduced to limit Ic. In order to reduce the maximum $B_{\bot}$, the shape optimization of the magnet, which is used for the field coil of HTSM, is necessary. It can be accomplished by using Response Surface Methodology (RSM). Finally, the result of RSM is verified by comparison with these experimental results.

We are developing a small-sized high temperature superconducting magnetic energy storage (HTS-SMES) magnet with the nominal storage capacity of 600 kJ, which provides electric power with high quality to sensitive electric loads. Critical current and N-value of a high temperature superconductor with large current, which was selected for the development of the 600 kJ HTS-SMES magnet, were investigated in various oblique external magnetic fields. Based on the critical current and N-value measured for the short sample conductor, we discussed the DC V - I characteristic of a model coil fabricated with the same conductor of 500 m. The results show that the measured critical current and N-value of the conductor for parallel field are constant in external magnetic fields less than about 0.2 T. However, for oblique fields, its critical current and N -value abruptly decrease in all external magnetic fields. Moreover, the measured critical current of the model coil well agrees with the numerically calculated one based on the DC V - I characteristic measured for the short sample conductor. This suggest that losses and critical currents for an HTS-SMES magnet made up of a high temperature superconductor with anisotropic characteristic are predictable from the data of a short sample conductor.

High temperature superconducting (HTS) magnets for large-capacity energy storage system need to be composed of toroid magnets with high energy density, low leakage magnetic fields, and easy installation. To realize such a large capacity of a toroid HTS magnet, an HTS cable with large current capacity would be preferred because of the limited DC link voltage and instantaneous high power required for compensation of the disturbance in the power grid. In this paper, the optimal operating strategies of the SMES for peak load reduction of the microgrid system were calculated according to the load variation characteristics, and the effect of compensation of the frequency change in microgrid with a SMES were also simulated. Based on the result of the simulation, key design parameters of SMES coil were presented for two cases to define the specification of the HTS cable with large current capacities for winding of HTS toroid coils, which will be need for development of the HTS cable as a future work.

This paper deals with High Temperature Superconducting (HTS) Motor, which have two characteristics: the HTS magnet with iron plates as field coil, and the solid nitrogen $(SN_2)$ as a cryogen. The HTS magnet has iron plates to achieve the maximum current-carrying capacity and the simple shape that can easily be wound and jointed. The HTS magnet with iron plates, magnet optimized current distribution, and initial magnet are presented through 3 Dimensional Finite Element Analysis (3D FEA), manufacturing and testing these magnets. And, it is employed $SN_2$ for keep the operating temperature of HTS synchronous motor. To make the liquid nitrogen $(LN_2)$ of $SN_2$, Gas helium (GHe) passes into the heat exchanger and cools its own temperature. Two types of heat exchangers are designed and manufactured to make the $SN_2$, and each of the temperature characteristics is compared.
