This Ph.D. thesis is focused on the numerical modelling of high-Tc superconductors (HTS) at the operating temperature of 77 K (liquid nitrogen). The purpose of numerical modelling is to precisely calculate the current and field distributions inside HTS dev ...
For describing the E-J relation of high-Tc superconductors (HTS) in power applications, where the applied current I is generally limited by Ic, the critical state model, a piecewise linear generalization, or a simple power-law of the type E=Ec(J/Jc)^n are ...
The control of the current, position and shape of an elongated cross-section tokamak plasma is complicated by the instability of the plasma vertical position. In this case the control becomes a significant problem when saturation of the power supplies is c ...
Methods have been developed to study the distribution of the transport current among the strand bundles of cable-in-conduit conductors (CICC) by using self-field measurements with Hall probe arrays. The unbalance in the transport current is mainly caused b ...
The aim of this thesis work is to study the spin-dependent transport in multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNT). To do so, the electrical resistance of MWNT contacted between ferromagnetic electrodes has been measured, as a function of the contacts magnetic co ...
In the frame of the European Fusion Technology Programme, the Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe and the Centre de Recherches en Physique des Plasmas, CRPP, Villigen, develop a 70 kA current lead to demonstrate the feasibility of the usage of High Temperature Sup ...
A new test facility, dedicated to the measurement of contact resistance distribution in full-size conductor termination, has been designed and manufactured at CRPP Fusion Technology in Villigen, Switzerland. The facility will be used to characterize and qu ...
Geometrical aspects of the design of fault current limiters (FCL) have a great impact on their performance. Recently, the University of Geneva have presented optimized geometries obtained by splitting the FCL into many small dissipative lengths in order to ...
A short sample of the NbTi cable-in-conduit conductor (CICC) manufactured for the ITER PF insert coil has been tested in the SULTAN facility at CRPP. The short sample consists of two paired conductor sections, identical except for the sub-cable and outer w ...
In this work, a model of a multi-layer high-Tc superconducting (HTS) cable that computes the current distribution across layers as well as the AC loss is presented. Analyzed is the case of a four-layer cable, but the developed method can be applied to a ca ...
