Evaluation of the Applicability of Phenomenological HTS Models for Numerical Analysis of Quenches in Coated Conductors: Simulations vs. Experiments
Frédéric Sirois, François Roy, Bertrand Dutoit
The electrical resistivity of coated conductors is strongly related to the inter-dependent set of parameters (J, H, T), respectively current density, magnetic field and temperature. On the one hand, it is difficult to isolate the contribution of each of th ...
2011Review of design aspects for high current Nb3Sn conductors
Cabled conductors based on Nb3Sn technology with operating current in the range of 20 kA and above are mainly restricted to fusion magnets and high field facilities. The experience of last decade has dramatically shown that, opposite to the NbTi conductors ...
2011Test Result of a Full-Size Nb3Sn Conductor Developed for the ITER TF Coils
Pierluigi Bruzzone, Boris Stepanov
The Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) developed ITER TF Nb3Sn conductors that fulfill ITER requirements and has commenced fabricating the conductors to be used in the ITER TF coils. As a qualification of conductor fabrication, two full-size conductor sampl ...
2011Modeling and Characterization of Coated Conductors Applied to the Design of Superconducting Fault Current Limiters
The Superconducting Fault Current Limiter (SFCL) appears to be a device of great interest to efficiently build the electrical grid of tomorrow. With the recent progress made by the superconducting wires manufacturers, there are needs coming from the indust ...
EPFL2010Performance Test of TFK=2 qualification sample of ITER TF conductor
Pierluigi Bruzzone, Kyungjin Kim
According to the pre-qualification program for the production of Korean conductor for ITER TF magnet, a CICC(Cable In Conduit Conductor) sample for SULTAN test was developed based on the "Option 2" specification which is the improved one among the two esta ...
2010Qualification tests for ITER TF conductors in SULTAN
Pierluigi Bruzzone, Boris Stepanov, Rainer Wesche
From February 2007 to May 2008, 18 short length conductor sections have been tested in SULTAN for design verification and manufacturer qualification of the ITER Toroidal Field (TF) conductor. The test program is focussed on the current sharing temperature, ...
Elsevier2009Test results of a small size CICC with advanced Nb3Sn strands
Pierluigi Bruzzone, Boris Stepanov, Rainer Wesche
In the scope of the design activities for a 12.5 T dipole magnet, a short length of cable-in-conduit conductor (CICC) with steel jacket was prepared in spring 2005 as a pre-prototype of the high field dipole conductor. The small, rectangular conductor uses ...
2006Finite Element Method Modelling of Superconductors: from 2D to 3D
Francesco Grilli, Bertrand Dutoit
A 3D numerical modelling technique for solving problems involving superconducting materials is presented. The model is implemented in finite element method software and is based on a recently developed 3D formulation for general electro-magnetic problems w ...
20043D Modeling of Coupling Between Superconducting Filaments via Resistive Matrix in AC Magnetic Field
Francesco Grilli, Yong Yang, Bertrand Dutoit
The ac loss of superconducting composite depends strongly on coupling between superconducting filaments via the resistive matrix. The established technique for loss reduction using twisted filaments relies on the decoupling of the filaments below a critica ...
2003Finite element method study of the coupling effect between superconducting filaments in varying magnetic field
Francesco Grilli, Yong Yang, Bertrand Dutoit
Using 3D finite element modelling, the present work investigates the coupling effect between superconducting filaments induced by an externally applied varying magnetic field. The considered geometry consists of two superconducting filaments separated by a ...
