The use of high temperature superconductor (HTS) materials in future fusion machines could increase the efficiency drastically, but strong boundary conditions exist. To outline the prospects, challenges and problems, first the benefit of using HTS material ...
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 ...
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 ...
For the superconducting magnet system of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor, ITER, 60 current leads for a total current of more than 2500 kA are needed. To reduce the resultant large refrigerator load at 4.5 K, High Temperature Supercondu ...
A fundamental understanding of the quench phenomenon is crucial in the future design and operation of HTS based Fault Current Limiters (FCLs). The key parameter that quantifies the quenching process in superconductors is the normal zone propagation (NZP) v ...

Within the framework of the European Fusion Programme a FSJS has been designed and manufactured by European Industry using PF coil NbTi superconductor manufactured and supplied by the Russian Federation as part of the R&D for the PF Conductor Insert (PFCI) ...
JORDI (JOint Resistance DIstribution), a dedicated test facility for the measurement of contact resistance distribution in full-size, ITER type conductor terminations, has been successfully commissioned at CRPP. In contrast to earlier attempts, where the c ...
In the frame of the European Fusion Technology Programme, the Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe and the CRPP Villigen have designed and built a 70 kA current lead for the ITER TF Coils using High Temperature Superconductors (HTS). At the beginning of 2004 the HT ...
Prototype conductors for the ITER magnets have been tested extensively in the SULTAN facility at CRPP in the last decade. The in-depth characterization of the high current carrying conductors provided a valuable feedback in the design, with performance opt ...
