A dynamic-relaxation formulation for analysis of cable structures with sliding-induced friction

Ian Smith, Nizar Bel Hadj Ali, Ann Christine Sychterz

In many cable structures, special types of joints are designed to allow cables to slide freely along the joints. Thus, a number of discrete cable elements are substituted by a single continuous cable that slides over multiple nodes. Continuous cables are e ...

Test of the MF-CICC Conductor Designed for the 12-T Outsert Coil of the HFML 45-T Hybrid Magnet

Pierluigi Bruzzone, Kamil Sedlák, Boris Stepanov

A 45-T hybrid magnet is being built at the High Field Magnet Laboratory of the Radboud University in Nijmegen, The Netherlands. The hybrid magnet consists of a 12-T cable-in- conduit-conductor (CICC) Nb 3Sn superconducting outsert and a 33-T resistive inse ...

Thermal-hydraulic modeling of a novel HTS CICC for nuclear fusion applications

Pierluigi Bruzzone

A thermal-hydraulic model has been developed for the novel cable-in-conduit conductor (CICC) recently proposed by ENEA, which foresees the use of 2nd Generation REBCO-based Coated Conductor tapes stacked into twisted grooves slotted into an Al core. A cent ...

Design of the HTS Fusion Conductors for TF and CS Coils

Pierluigi Bruzzone, Davide Uglietti, Rainer Wesche

The main electrical and mechanical requirements for the LTS fusion conductors of DEMO are retained as a starting point for the development of HTS fusion cables. Based on the HTS coated conductor technology, a flat cable design was proposed by CRPP Swiss Pl ...

Test of 60 kA coated conductor cable prototypes for fusion magnets

Pierluigi Bruzzone, Kamil Sedlák, Davide Uglietti, Boris Stepanov, Rainer Wesche

Coated conductors could be promising materials for the fabrication of the large magnet systems of future fusion devices. Two prototype conductors (flat cables in steel conduits), each about 2 m long, were manufactured using coated conductor tapes (4 mm wid ...
