Performance Comparison of Cables With Partial Transposition
Pierluigi Bruzzone, Kamil Sedlák, Federica Demattè, Chiara Frittitta
The need of full transposition of the current carrying elements (strands) in large cables is frequently retained as top design criterion for conductors operating in pulsed mode. However, when the transposition error, i.e., the inductance difference among t ...
Piscataway2024Experimental study of stability, quench propagation and detection methods on 15 kA sub-scale HTS fusion conductors in SULTAN
Pierluigi Bruzzone, Kamil Sedlák, Nikolay Bykovskiy, Ortensia Dicuonzo
High-temperature superconductors (HTSs) enable exclusive operating conditions for fusion magnets, boosting their performance up to 20 T generated magnetic fields in the temperature range from 4 K to 20 K. One of the main technological issues of HTS conduct ...
IOP Publishing Ltd2023Progress in the design and manufacturing of the EDIPO 2 cryostat
Pierluigi Bruzzone, Kamil Sedlák, Roberto Guarino, Evgeny Solodko
A major upgrade of the European DIPOle (EDIPO) test facility, which will allow the testing of superconducting samples both for fusion and for high-energy physics applications, is taking place at the Swiss Plasma Center. With a target background field of 15 ...
ELSEVIER SCI LTD2023Quench experiments on sub-size HTS Cable-In-Conduit Conductors for fusion applications: Data analysis and model validation
Pierluigi Bruzzone, Kamil Sedlák, Boris Stepanov, Ortensia Dicuonzo
The recent experimental campaign, carried out in the upgraded SULTAN facility and supported by EUROfusion, investigated quench propagation in high field, sub-size HTS Cable-In-Conduit Conductors. The available experimental data consist of voltage, jacket a ...
ELSEVIER SCI LTD2023Manufacture and performance test result of a 95 kA-class Nb-Ti cable-in-conduit conductor for the low field winding-package of CFETR-TF coil
Pierluigi Bruzzone, Kamil Sedlák
The engineering design of the CFETR TF prototype coil and conductors has been completed. The wind-package (WP) of the coil is graded into three regions based on the magnetic field distribution for saving cost. High-Jc Nb3Sn strand, ITER-like Nb3Sn strand a ...
ELSEVIER2023Studies on EU-DEMO 3D coils requirements and conceptual design for error field correction and plasma control
Pierluigi Bruzzone, Hartmut Zohm, Leonardo Pigatto
This work presents the initial studies on the requirements for the design of 3D coils on EU-DEMO. The use of 3D coils in present machines includes two main purposes: the first one is the Error Field Correction (EFC). The EFC aims at minimizing the intrinsi ...
Lausanne2023Application of Copper Thermal Spraying for Electrical Joints between Superconducting Nb3Sn Cables
Pierluigi Bruzzone, Vincenzo D'Auria
This manuscript reports on the application of copper thermal spraying in the manufacturing process of an electrical connection between Nb3Sn cables for superconducting magnets of fusion reactors. The joint is realized through diffusion bonding of the spray ...
MDPI2022Preliminary design of the pressure relief system of the EDIPO 2 helium vessel
Pierluigi Bruzzone, Kamil Sedlák, Roberto Guarino, Evgeny Solodko
The European Dipole (EDIPO) test facility is undergoing a major upgrade of its magnet assembly, which will provide ground for testing both fusion and high-energy physics superconducting samples at variable temperature and with a background field of 15 T. I ...
