Abstract

Recent advances in second-generation (2G) high temperature superconducting (HTS) coated conductors (CCs) have made them very attractive for new applications such as undulators. In this study, we have, for the first time, experimentally evaluated a design to validate applicability of 2G-HTS tapes for next generation undulator magnetic structures. A two-period undulator magnetic core was fabricated and 2G-HTS CCs were successfully wound onto the undulator core. The performance of the undulator magnetic structure was investigated and the highest engineering current density, J _e, in such configuration reported yet was obtained. A new U-slit tape configuration was used to reduce the number of resistive joints and it was shown that with this new technique affordable levels of resistance values can be achieved for short length undulators. The ferromagnetic core was designed such as to accommodate winding the U-slit tapes. Finally, test results indicated that the winding and the soldering procedures are successful and do not deteriorate the performance of the 2G-HTS tapes.

AC loss and contact resistance in REBCO CORC ^® , Roebel, and stacked tape cables

Journal Article Yagotintsev, K. ; Anvar, V. A. ; Gao, P. ; ... - Superconductor Science and Technology

Abstract Many high-temperature superconductor (HTS) applications require superconducting cables with high currents while operating in an alternating magnetic field. HTS cables should be composed of numerous superconducting tapes to achieve the required current capacity. Alternating current and magnetic fields cause AC losses in such cables and can provoke conductor instability. AC losses and contact resistances were measured of several cable designs based on commercially available REBCO tapes at the University of Twente. The AC loss was measured under identical conditions for eight REBCO conductors manufactured according to three types of cabling methods—CORC ^® (Conductor on Round Core), Roebel, and stackedmore »« less

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

Multifilamentary Round Wires of REBCO Coated Conductors for High Field Accelerators (Final Report)

Technical Report Selvamanickam, Venkat ; Kar, Soumen

A specific objective of the project was to demonstrate multifilamentary, ultra-small-diameter round RE-Ba-Cu-O (REBCO, RE = rare earth) high temperature superconductor (HTS) wires with a high engineering current density (J_e) in high magnetic fields at 4.2 K. The primary goal of the Phase II project was to scale up the round, multifilamentary ultra-small diameter REBCO wire technology demonstrated in meter lengths in Phase I to manufacturing of 50-meter lengths with a J_e of 250 A/mm² at 4.2 K, 20 T. The round REBCO wires were made by a) fabrication of ultrathin REBCO tapes of total 25 µm thickness consisting ofmore »« less
High-temperature superconducting undulator magnets

Journal Article Kesgin, Ibrahim ; Kasa, Matthew ; Ivanyushenkov, Yury ; ... - Superconductor Science and Technology

Here, this paper presents test results on a prototype superconducting undulator magnet fabricated using 15% Zr-doped rare-earth barium copper oxide high temperature superconducting (HTS) tapes. On an 11-pole magnet we demonstrate an engineering current density, J_e, of more than 2.1 kA mm^-2 at 4.2 K, a value that is 40% higher than reached in comparable devices wound with NbTi-wire, which is used in all currently operating superconducting undulators. A novel winding scheme enabling the continuous winding of tape-shaped conductors into the intricate undulator magnets as well as a partial interlayer insulation procedure were essential in reaching this advance in performance.more »« less

Second Generation Superconducting Cable with Exfoliated YBCO Filaments

Technical Report Solovyov, Vyacheslav

In this Phase II SBIR Brookhaven Technology Group (BTG) started a pilot production of a novel superconducting cable, ExoCable, using a technology based on exfoliation of YBCO layer from the substrate. Currently, second generation (2G) wire is the most promising conductor for high-field magnets such as accelerator dipoles and compact fusion devices. The key element of the wire is a thin HTS layer deposited on a flexible substrate. The substrate, which becomes incorporated in the 2G conductor, reduces electrical and mechanical performance of the wire, thus preventing the 2G wire technology from reaching larger markets. BTG technology eliminates these shortcomingsmore »« less
