1MW class superconducting synchronous motor is designed considering several conditions such as superconducting wire length, machine efficiency and size. As the machine is larger and larger, the superconducting machine shows the advantages more and more over the conventional machines. Although the advantages at 1MW rating are not so great, the design approach to get an appropriate result would be very helpful for larger superconducting synchronous machine design. Major design concerns are focused on reducing expensive Bi-2223 HTS(High Temperature Superconducting) wire which is used for superconducting field coil carrying the rating current around 30K(-243$^{\circ}C$) while the machine efficiency is higher than conventional motors or generators with the same rating. Furthermore, some iron cored structure is considered to reduce the HTS wire requirement without bad effect on machine performances such as sinusoidal armature voltage waveform, synchronous reactance and so on.

In recent years. YBCO coated conductor (CC) called as second generation HTS (high temperature superconducting) wire has been developed as a suitable material for resistive superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL). For designing the SFCL. the required length of superconducting wire is inverse proportional to the maximum temperature reached when a fault occurs. Since the required length strongly affects a manufacturing cost, it is the most important parameter to determine the maximum temperature reached. It is necessary to observe the repetitive over-current characteristics of HTS wire. This paper attempts to measure the variation of critical current of YBCO CC after repetitive over-current pulse. No degradation of the critical current of CC sample was observed by applying 100 times over-current pulse which makes temperature above 400 K after 100ms. This study can be useful in designing optimally resistive SFCL employing YBCO CC. The maximum permissible temperature can be set to 400K. so wire length could be reduced by 30% compared in case of 300K-criterion.

Electrical system is changing to smart grid which includes the distributed generations with reusable energy sources in these days. The distributed generations are environmentally friendly and have no concern with depletion problem. But dispatching distributed generations can cause an increase of the fault current. Resistive type super conducting fault current limiter is one of the candidates of solution for the large fault problem in smart grid. In this paper, a design method for the wire length of fault current limiter and the result of short circuit test for small scale modules considering system resistance are introduced.

Despite the second generation HTS tapes (2G HTS tape) have limits in critical current value, scientific and electric devices require more current density day after day. These requirements are realized by using different superconducting wires that consist of 2G HTS tapes designed in various combinations. Authors of this paper have developed the numerical model for estimation of total critical current in the superconducting wire and critical current in each 2G HTS tape placed in this superconducting wire. The current drop in six 2G HTS tapes having different constructions was analyzed. The result of this research is the decrease of critical current up to 25 % for the stack of tapes and up to 5 % for the parallel tapes in the same plane. In addition, what was also made is the estimation of the current distribution by length for six 25 m 2G HTS tapes in different constructions and determination of current deviation by length of the wire.

A superconducting parallel bifilar winding shows the phenomenon which is known as 'fast quench'. We analyzed the temperature characteristics on the winding by computer simulation, and confirmed theses by experiment. The temperature of the quenched point rose gradually as the source voltage was increased. The temperature changed radically as first, but had a gentle slope after a few milliseconds. As the source voltage was large, the initial quenched length also increased. The points in this quenched length showed almost the same temperature. but the points where initial quench had not occurred showed radical temperature gradient. We could observe that the temperature of the whole wire increased simultaneously as the fast quench occurred on the superconducting parallel bifilar winding, because a number of quenched points in that wire appeared at the same time.

본 논문에서는 초전도 자석의 자장 균일도를 개선하기 위한 방법으로 3가지 형태의 magnet 모델을 제안하고 각각의 자석 형태에 대하여 같은 세기의 자장을 (Magnet field strength) 가질 경우에 최소전력 방식으로 최적화된 전류 분포에 해당하는 coil wire의 길이, 그리고 해당 조건에서의 자장의 불균일도를 시뮬레이션을 통하여 비교, 분석하였다. 구성된 3가지 magnet type을 동일한 조건 (계산 점의 개수 18개, 20cm DSV)에 대해서 wire길이와 main field inhomogeneity를 비교하였으며, 이러한 시뮬레이션 결과를 통하여 얻을 수 있는 결론은 계산점의 수가 적을수록 wire의 길이는 짧아지나 field inhomogeneity는 높아진다는 것이다. 즉, Magnet shim을 수행할 경우 계산점을 줄이는 방법으로는 짧은 wire의 길이와 main field homogeneity를 동시에 만족하도록 최적화 하는 것이 거의 불가능함을 의미하는 것이다. 그러나 DSV를 줄였을 경우에 계산점을 줄였을 때에 비해 우수한 결과 값을 얻을 수 있었다. 결론적으로 공간적으로 개방되어 있는 magnet model의 경우 계산점을 줄여 shimming을 진행할 경우 동일한 imaging region의 크기에 대해 더 많은 전류(또는 wire 길이)가 필요하고 field 균일도도 떨어졌으나 작은 ROI를 대상으로 영상을 얻는 경우 유용하게 사용될 수 있다.

Until now, many research activities have been conducted to commercialize high-temperature superconducting (HTS) wires for electric applications. Most of all researchers have focused on enhancing the piece length, critical current density, mechanical strength, and throughput of HTS wires. Recently, HTS magnet for generating high magnetic field shows degraded performance due to the deformation of HTS wire by high electro-magnetic force. The deformation can be derived from widthwise thickness non-uniformity of HTS wire mainly caused by wet processes such as electro-polishing of metal substrate and electro-plating of copper. Gradient sputtering process is designed to improve the thickness uniformity of HTS wire along the width direction. Copper stabilizing layer is deposited on HTS wire covered with specially designed mask. In order to evaluate the thickness uniformity of HTS wire after gradient sputtering process, the thickness distribution across the width is measured by using the optical microscope. The results show that the gradient deposition process is an effective method for improving the thickness uniformity of HTS wire.

There are many problems in wire fabrication of long length Bi-2223 superconductor by using conventional extrusion method. They are mainly due to high surface resistance and inhomogeneous distribution of inner stress. Hydrostatic extrusion process will not only decrease the extrusion pressure but also enhance homogeneous deformation of material by reducing friction force between billet and container Hydrostatic extrusion method is considered to be useful fur fabrication of the homogeneous wire with high density. In this paper, hydrostatic extrusion process is introduced to fabricate Bi-2223 superconducting tape, and also discussed are the interface homogeneity and microstructural aspects of extruded BSCCO/Ag billet.

High-Tc superconducting(HT S) systems are commercialized by many study on high-Tc superconductor. For the successful commercialization of superconducting systems using Bi-2223 wires, the database on the degradation of critical current is essentially needed. In this paper, critical current variation of Bi-2223 wires according to the transport time was investigated. The degradation rate of critical current was also calculated. Solenoid type specimens have the length of 190cm Bi-2223 wire and double-pancake type specimens have the length of l0m wire were tested. Tested Bi-2223 wires are commercialized products of AMSC (American Superconductor) and Innost. When the transportation current was 95% of critical current, the degradation of critical current was appeared after 5 hours of transport time.
