Patent Boenig, H.J.; Hassenzahl, W.V.

Static VAR control means employing an asymmetrically controlled Graetz bridge and a superconducting direct current coil having low losses and low cost characteristics.
Application of superconducting coils to VAR control in electric power systems: a proposal

Technical Report Boenig, H.J.; Hassenzahl, W.V.

During the last eight years, static VAR-control systems with thyristor-controlled, room-temperature reactors have been used in electrical systems for voltage control and system stabilization. In this proposal, we describe a new static VAR-control system that uses an asymmetrically controlled Graetz bridge and a superconducting dc coil. Preliminary studies indicate that the proposed system will have lower overall losses and that its capital cost and electrical characteristics are comparable to those of a conventional system. Three- and four-year programs for developing the electronic circuitry and superconducting coils for VAR control, culminating in the installation and testing of an approx. 40-MVAR system,more » are proposed.« less

Method of fabricating composite superconducting wire. [Patent application]

Patent Strauss, B.P.

An improvement in the method for preparing composite rods of superconducting alloy and normal metal from which multifilament composite superconducting wire is fabricated by bending longitudinally a strip of normal metal around a rod of superconductor alloy and welding the edges to form the composite rod. After the rods have preferably been provided with a hexagonal cross-sectional shape, a plurality of the rods are stacked into a normal metal extrusion can, sealed and worked to reduce the cross-sectional size and form multifilament wire. Diffusion barriers and high-electrical resistance barriers can easily be introduced into the wire by plating or otherwisemore »« less
Care coil assembly for use in superconducting magnets and method for assembling the same. [Patent application]

Patent Kassner, D.A.

A core/coil assembly for use in a superconducting magnet of the focusing or bending type used in syncronous particle accelerators is described. A coil assembly is contained within an axial bore of the stacked, washer type, carbon steel laminations which comprise the magnet core assembly, and form an interference fit with the laminations at the operating temperature of the magnet. Also described is a method for making such core/coil assemblies comprising the steps of cooling the coil assembly to cryogenic temperatures and drawing it rapidly upwards into the bore of the stacked laminations.
