Fabrication and Characterization of Bi$_{2}$/Sr$_{2}$/CaCu$_{2}$/O$_{8}$(Bi2212) superconductor thick films were fabricated successfully on C tapes by liquid reaction between Cu-free precursors of Bi$_{x}$/SrCaO/$_{y}$(x=1.2-2) and Cu tapes. Cu-free Bi-Sr-Ca-O powder mixtures were screen-printed on Cu tapes and heat-treated at 850-87$0^{\circ}C$ for several minutes in air oxygen nitrogen and low oxygen pressure. In order to obtain the optimum heat-treatment condition we studied the effect of the precursor composition the printing thickness and the heat-treatment atmosphere on the superconducting properties of Bi2212 films and the reaction mechanism. Microstructures and phases of thick films were analyzed by films and the reaction mechanism. Microstructures and phases of thick films were analyzed by optical microscope and XRD. The electric properties of superonducting films were examined by the four probe method. At heat-treatment temperature the thick films were in a partially molten state by liquid reaction between CuO of the oxidized copper tape and the precursors which were printed on Cu tapes. During the heat-treatment procedure Bi2212 superconducting particle nucleate and grow in preferred orientations.ons.s.

Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute(KERI) has successfully developed a 100hp-1800rpm-class high temperature superconducting(HTS) motor with high efficiency under partnership with Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction Co. Ltd. This motor has a HTS field winding and an air-cooled stator. The advantages of HTS motor can be represented by a reduction of 50% in both losses and size compared to conventional motors of the same rating. The cooling system is based on the heat transfer mechanism of the thermosyphon by using GM cryocooler as cooling source. The cold head is in contact with the condenser of a Ne-filled thermosyphon. Independently, the rotor assembly was tested at the stationary state and combined with stator. The HTS field winding could be cooled into below 30K. Test of open-circuit characteristics(OCC) and short-circuit characteristics(SCC) and load test with resistive load bank were conducted in generator mode. Also, load tests in motor mode driven by inverter were finished at KERI. Maximum operating current of field winding at 30K was 120A. From OCC and SCC test results synchronous inductance and synchronous reactance were 2.4mH, 0.49pu, respectively. Efficiency of this HTS machine was 93.3% in full load(100hp) test. This paper will present design, construction. and experimental test results of the 100hp HTS machine.

A superconducting phase La2CuO4+δ (Tc=44 K) has been prepared by electrochemical oxidation which allows the oxygen to intercalat into the La2O2 layers. According to the Cu K-edge X-ray absorption near edge structure spectroscopic analysis, the oxidized phase shows an overall spectra shift of about 0.5 eV to a higher energy region compared to the as sintered one with the occurrence of an additional peak corresponding to the transition to the |1s13dn+1L-14pσ1 > final state, indicating the oxidation of CuO2 layer. From the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic studies, it is found that the binding energy of La 3d5/2 is significantly shifted from 834.3 eV (as sintered La2CuO4) to 833.6 eV (as electrochemically oxidized La2CuO4+δ), implying that the covalency of the (La-O) bond is decreased due to the oxygen intercalation. The O 1s spectra do not provide an evidence of the superoxide or peroxide, but the oxide (O2-) with the contaminated carbonate (CO32-) based on the peaks at 529 eV and 532 eV, respectively, which is clearly confirmed by the Auger spectroscopic analysis. Oxygen contents determined by iodometric titration (δ=0.07) and thermogravimetry (δ=0.09) show good coincidence each other, also giving an evidence for the "O2-" nature of excess oxygen. From the above results, it is concluded that "O2-" appeared as O 1s peak at 528.6 eV is responsible for superconductivity of La2CuO4+δ.

An advanced superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) using $high-T_c$ superconducting (HTS) wire has been developed. The SFCL has a non-inductively wound magnet for reducing loss in normal state. Two types of non-inductively wound magnets, the solenoid type and the pancake type, were designed and manufactured by using Bi-2223 wire in this research. Short-circuit tests of the magnets were performed in sub-cooled $LN_2$ cooling system of 65 K. The magnets are thermally more stable and have a higher critical current in 65 K sub-cooled $LN_2$ cooling system than in 77 K saturated one. Because the resistivity of matrix at 65 K is lower than the resistivity at 77 K, the magnets generate a small resistance to reduce the fault current when the quench occurs. The magnets could limit the fault current to low current level with such a small resistance. The current limiting characteristic of the magnets was analyzed from the test result. The solenoid type was wound in parallel to make it non-inductive. The pancake type was also connected in parallel to be compared with the solenoid type in the same condition. The solenoid type was found to have a good thermal stability compared with the pancake type. It also had as large resistance as the pancake type to limit the fault current in sub-cooled $LN_2$ cooling system.

The effect of La_0.7Sr_0.3MnO₃ (LSMO) addition on the superconducting property of Bi_1.6Pb_0.4Sr₂Ca₂Cu₃O_10+δ ((Bi, Pb)-2223) polycrystalline samples was studied. LSMO (0.3 wt.% to 2.0 wt.%) added (Bi, Pb)-2223 samples were prepared by using a solid-state reaction method. The XRD analyses show that as the LSMO addition increases, the volume fraction of the Bi-2223 phase is gradually decreased. The critical temperature (T_c) exhibits a gradual decrease with a single transition as the LSMO amount increases up to 1.0 wt.%, but a further addition of LSMO induces an abrupt decrease of T_c with a dual transition. The analyses on the local structure of the CuO₂ plane from the X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) measurements showed that for the samples with low concentration of LSMO up to 1.0 wt.%, the Cu-O bond length and the CuO₂ plane ordering do not degrade from the values of pure (Bi, Pb)-2223, while they get worsen with a further increase of LSMO addition. These results open up the possibility of LSMO as artificial pinning centers of the (Bi, Pb)-2223 system for power application.

SMES systems need cryogenic cooling systems. Conduction cooling system has more effective, compact structure than cryogen. In general, 2 stage GM cryocoolers are used for conduction cooling of HTS SMES system. 1st stages of cryocoolers are used for the cooling of current leads and radiation shields, and 2nd stages of cryocoolers for HTS coil. For the effective conduction cooling of the HTS SMES system, the temperature difference between the cryocooler and HTS coil should be minimized. In this paper, a cryogenic conduction cooling system for HTS SMES is analyzed to evaluate the performance of the cooling system. The analysis is carried out for the steady state with the heat generation of the HTS coil and effects of the thermal contact resistance. The results show the effects of the heat generation and thermal contact resistance on the temperature distribution.

Many research and development activities have found that Superconducting Generators (SCG) have advantages such as high efficiency, light weight, small size, large unit size and good steady-state stability over conventional ones. However the transient stability of SCG is comparable to that of conventional ones. One way to improve the transient stability of SCG is to apply quick-response excitation system to the SCG. For this purpose, an SCG with an electrothermal shield of short electric time constants should be developed. In this paper, a new electrothermal shield, called slitted electrothermal shield(SES), is proposed. The SES can easily transmit radiated heat into the ends of the shield as in the conventional electrothermal shields(CES) and can easily pass magnetic flux produced by armature and field windings. By finite element analysis and experimental test, the slitting effects of SES on magnetic shielding are compared. Good agreement is obtained between simulated and test results.
