Since CORC^®(Conductor on Round Core) is made of multiple strands of a superconducting tape to conduct a large current, it is difficult to measure the critical current due to the limitation of a capacity of a power supply. The magnetization loss of a superconductor is dependent on the full penetration field. The full penetration field corresponds to the inflection point of the magnetization loss graph with respect to the external magnetic field. We propose a method to predict the critical current of CORC^® indirectly. This method uses the measured magnetization losses of various CORC^® samples for the prediction of the critical currents.

This paper presents comparative research on characteristics of air-cored and iron-cored high-temperature superconductor (HTS) field winding synchronous motors. The 100 kW air-cored model is designed analytically by Spatial Harmonic Method, and based on this model, the iron-cored model having the same output power is designed for comparison. Due to the substantial difference of permeability property between air and iron-core, there is a difference of magnetic field magnitude and angle with respect to the HTS tape c-axis, resulting in a different critical current of the field winding considering the anisotropic property of HTS tape. For a detailed comparison between two models, the following key motor characteristics are calculated through the Finite Element Method (FEM) simulation: 1) critical current; 2) HTS wire length; and 3) torque characteristics. From the simulation results, it can be confirmed that the critical current value of the iron-cored model increases by 33 %. Also, in the case of the superconducting wire consumption, those of the iron-cored and air-cored models are 95.3 m and 815.6 m, respectively. So the wire usage can be reduced to about 88 % by using iron core. However, in terms of torque characteristics, the torque ripple of the iron-cored model is about twice as large as that of the air-cored model, which may be a disadvantage on vibration and acoustic noise.

The ongoing Superconducting Fault Current Limiter(SFCL) development mainly has focused on the application of commercializaton and power system through combining with normal-conducting device, moving away from current-limiting method, which is solely dependant on the existing superconductor. Compared to the structural development above, on the other hand, the research on applying superconducting current-limiting element to SFCL, the heart of SFCL, still has a lot left to do, apart form traditional resistive type SFCL. In this study, we looked into the current limiting characteristic of SFCL using core and coil. YBCO coated conductor with stainless steel stabilizer layer was verified by the excellent of current-limiting element of the resistive type SFCL that has a high Jc and index as well as being superior in mechanical property. Also, we study temperature characteristics and resistance characteristics, max voltage, response time and current-limiting ability that can be an indicator as current-limiting element while applying to superconducting current-limiting element caused by variation of winding direction, winding ratio of SFCL using core and coil.

고온초전도체 61심 Bi-2223 선재간의 초전도 접합부위를 화학적 부식 및 열적· 기계적 반복 공정에 의하여 제조하였다. 초전도 선재 테이프의 은 피복재 한쪽 표면을 초전도체와 반응하지 않는 부식액(NH4OH:H2O2=1:1)으로 화학적으로 제거한 다음, 두 시편을 일출가압 성형하여 접합시편을 제조하였고 일련의 서로 다른 열적· 기계적 처리를 거쳐 접합부의 물성 및 미세구조를 분석하였다. 접합부를 따라 임계전류(Ic) 변화와 전류전압 곡선의 특성을 측정하기 위하여 여러 단자를 접합부 주위에 설치하여 부위별 I~V 특성을 측정한 결과 단심선재에 비하여 다심선재에서 선재 전체의 통전 능력을 좌우하는 천이구간의 임계전류값이 높았다. 그러나 단심에 비해 다심선재는 천이급속도를 나타내는 n값이 다심선재내 각각의 초전도 core들의 상호작용에 의하여 낮은 값을 나타내었다. 접합부의 임계전류 통전성은 반복적인 가압성형 공정과 서냉반응 열처리 공정에 의하여 향상되었다.

We evaluated the effect of joining process such as contact method, shape of joined area and pressure on the electrical property of Bi-2223 superconducting tape. It was observed that the current capacity was reduced at the transition area of the joined tape and was significantly dependent on the uniaxial pressure. The lap-joined tape, fabricated with a pressure of 1,000-1,600 MPa, show the highest value of current capacity(80-90%) of the tape itself. It is believed the highest value of current capacity results from improvement in core density, contacting area and grain alignment, etc. In addition, the irreversible strain( ${\varepsilon}$ irrev) for the joined tape· was measured to be 0.1%, smaller than that of enjoined tape( ${\varepsilon}$ irrev = 0.3%). The decrease in the strength and irreversible strain for joined tape is believed to be due to the irregular geometry/morphology of the transition area of the tape.

we evaluated the effects of joining process such as contact method. shape of joined area and pressure on the electrical and mechanical properties of Bi-2223 superconducting tape, Specifically. the current capacity of the jointed tape was measured as a function of uniaxial pressure. and the thermal shock, bonding strength and the thermal of the tape were evaluated and correlated to the microstructural evolution. It was observed that the current capacity was significanrly dependent on the uniaxial pressure The jointed tape, fabricated with a pressure of 1,000-1,600 Mpa. showed the highest value of current capacity results from improvements in core density, contacting area and grain alignment, ect. In addition, the strength of jointed tape was measured to be 86 Mpa, which is about 88% of the unjoined ape's strength. The irreversible strain($\varepsilon$irrev) for the jointed tape was measured to be 0.1%, smaller than that of unjoined tape ($\varepsilon$irrev= 0.3%). The decrease in the strength and irreversible strain for jointed tape is believed to be due to the irregular geometry/morphology of the transition area of the tape.

The high temperature superconductor transformers gain interests from the industries. This paper described construction and test results of 10㎸A HTS transformer Three phase transformer with double pancake windings were constructed. To reduce the leakage magnetic field, secondary coil were placed between the two primary coils. BSCCO-2223 wire. silicon sheet steel core and FRP cryostats were used to construct the transformer. Three coils were stacked in one cryostat. Two double pancake coils were connected in series for the primary coil and one double pancake coil was used for the secondary coil. Total number of turns of the primary winding and the secondary winding were 112turns and 98urns, respectively, The rated voltages of each winding were 440/220V. The rated currents of each winding were 13.1/26.2A. After the tests of basic properties of the three phase HTS transformer using no-load test, short-circuit test and full-load test, continuous operation of 100 hours with pure resistive load has been carried out. Test results proved over-load capability and reliability of the HTS transformer.

As demand for electricity in urban areas increases, it is necessary to improve electric power stability by interconnecting neighboring substations and high temperature superconductor (HTS) power cables are considered as a promising option due to its large power capacity. However, the interconnection of substations reduces grid impedance and expected fault current is over 45 kA, which exceeds the capacity of a circuit breaker in Korean grid. To reduce the fault current below 45 kA, a HTS power cable having a fault current limiting (FCL) function is considered by as a feasible solution for the interconnection of substations. In this study, a FCL HTS power cable of 600 MVA/154 kV, transmission level class, is considered to reduce the fault current from 63 kA to less than 45 kA by generating an impedance over 1 Ωwhen the fault current is induced. For the thermal design of FCL HTS power cable, a parametric study is conducted to meet a required temperature limit and impedance by modifying the cable core from usual HTS power cables which are designed to bypass the fault current through cable former. The analysis results give a minimum cable length and an area of stainless steel former to suppress the temperature of cable below a design limit.

Rotational Magnetization-vector measurements have been performed on a polycrystalline $Y_1Ba_2Cu_3O_{7-\delta}$ sample in field-cooled condition at 4.2 K. The experimental results show that vortex flux density(B) consists of 3 groups :(1) a weak pinning part ($B_w$) which stays at a fixed angle relative to the magnetic field f(H) ; (2) a strong pining part($B_s$) which rotates rigidly with the sample and has same magnitude with the sample rotation, and(3) and intermediated pining part ($B_i$) which rotates rigidly with the sample, but whose magnitude changes with the sample rotation Our results have been explained in terms of a distribution in the strength of the vortex pinning torque and a repulsive intervortex torque.
