Abstract

Low field characteristics, including field orientation dependence relations for four different commercially available REBCO tapes, were investigated in an external field of up to 0.3 T at 77 K. A design method of the performance of a twisted stacked-tape conductor (TSTC) has been developed for a power transmission line. Cable critical current is obtained from an averaged self-field distributed over the cable cross section and the minimum critical current obtained from the field orientation dependence in transverse fields experimentally measured for the single tapes. The performance of three types of TSTCs, i.e., single-, double-, and triple-channel configurations, has been assessed for the four REBCO tapes.

Low-Field-Orientation Effect on REBCO Tape Performance and Its Power Cable Application

Journal Article Takayasu, Makoto ; Chiesa, Luisa ; Minervini, Joseph V. - IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity

In this work, low field characteristics, including field orientation dependence relations for four different commercially available REBCO tapes, were investigated in an external field of up to 0.3 T at 77 K. A design method of the performance of a twisted stacked-tape conductor (TSTC) has been developed for a power transmission line. Cable critical current is obtained from an averaged self-field distributed over the cable cross section and the minimum critical current obtained from the field orientation dependence in transverse fields experimentally measured for the single tapes.

Termination Methods for REBCO Tape High-Current Cable Conductors

Dataset Takayasu, M. ; Chiesa, L. ; Minervini, J. V.

Three types of joint termination methods for a 2G HTS cable have been developed: YBCO-BSCCO, YBCO-YBCO, and Folding-fan soldered terminations. For the YBCO-BSCCO terminator, each YBCO tape of a cable is connected to a BSCCO tape while the other ends of BSCCO tapes are bundled together and soldered inside a copper tube. The same termination was tested more than 30 times in liquid nitrogen and helium without any problems. It was operated at 10 kA in liquid helium and more than 2 kA in liquid nitrogen. The YBCO-BSCCO termination has been confirmed to be very easy to fabricate and convenientmore »« less
Self-field measurements of an HTS twisted stacked-tape cable conductor

Dataset Obana, T. ; Terazaki, Y. ; Yanagi, N. ; ...

For a twisted stacked-tape cable (TSTC) conductor composed of REBCO tapes, self-field measurements were conducted with Hall sensors. In the measurements, a 650 mm diameter single turn coil wound with the TSTC conductor, which was made with 48 REBCO tapes whose width was 6 mm, was utilized as a test sample. Based on the measurement results, the current distribution of the TSTC conductor was investigated with analytical models. The analytical results indicate the current distribution of the TSTC is uniform under the condition that the operating current is 10 kA and the sample temperature is approximately 30 K.

Investigation of HTS Twisted Stacked-Tape Cable (TSTC) Conductor for High-Field, High-Current Fusion Magnets

Dataset Takayasu, Makoto ; Chiesa, Luisa ; Noyes, Patrick D. ; ...

The critical currents of a twisted single-tape were measured at 4.2 K in fields up to 17 T. It was confirmed that the critical current of a twisted-tape was similar to that of a flat tape in c-axis fields. Based on the single-tape critical-currents, a 40-tape (4-mm width) twisted stacked-tape cable (TSTC) conductor was experimentally evaluated at fields up to 17 T at 4.2 K. It was found that the Lorentz load degradation of the TSTC conductor was negligible at the end of a cyclic test. The TSTC cabling method has been considered to be suitable for developing a high-fieldmore »« less
2023 Risk Management Plan and Register for Low-Power WEC for Non-Grid Applications

Dataset Hammagren, Erik ; Bartlett, Emma ; Cook, Bridger ; ...

This is an updated risk management plan and risk register for the design, build and test of a novel, remote, low-power wave energy converter (WEC) for non-grid applications. This Columbia Power Technologies project seeks to develop a prototype low-power WEC that lowers the total cost of ownership and provides robust, new capabilities for customers in the maritime environment. The testing location for this prototype is the U.S. Navy Wave Energy Test Site (WETS) in Kaneohe Bay, O'ahu, Hawai'i. Detailed in the Risk Management Plan document is a Failure Modes, Effects, and Criticality Analysis (FMEC) that systematically identifies all potential failuremore »« less
