The properties of High Temperature Superconducting (HTS) tapes are progressing, as HTS tapes evolve from 1st generation to 2nd generation. This paper presents design and construction of a 2nd generation HTS magnet consisting of two nested GdBCO and YBCO pancake coils. Two HTS tapes of different widths were used to wind the HTS nested magnet. Considering that a higher magnetic field is applied to the inner magnet than to the outer magnet, 12 mm GdBCO tape was used for winding the inner magnet, which consisted of four single pancake windings. Eight double pancake windings wound with 4.4 mm YBCO tapes were used for the outer magnet. The test results show that the central magnetic field of the HTS nested magnet was 920 mT. The measured critical currents of the inner and outer magnet at 77K were 80.8 A and 32.6 A, respectively.

77 K와 self-field에서 22 A 의 Ic 를 갖는 길이 120 m, 19-심 Bi-2223상 선재를 제조하여, 두 개의 double pancake 코일로 구성된 proto-type 고온초전도 자석을 설계, 제작하여 이 자석에서의 4.2 K와 77 K에서의 I-V 특성과 운전 특성을 평가한 결과, 이 자석은 77 K 등온조건에서는 9.5 A 의 Ic를, 77 K 헬륨가스 속에서는 8.3 A 의 Ic를 나타내었고, 4.2 K 등온조건에서는 93.7 A 의 Ic와 102 A 의 Iq를, 4.2K헬륨가스 속에서는 88.4A의 Ic 와 92.0 A 의 Iq를 나타내어, 이 자석은 4.2 K 와 77 K 의 등온조건에서 각각 0.58 T 와 0.06 T 의 자장을 발생하였는데, 이는 해석적 방법으로 계산한 결과와 잘 일치하였다. 그리고 이 자석이 전도냉각되어 4.2 K 에서 운전될 때의 안정성 특성평가로서, Ic 보다 약간 큰 전류인 89 A 를 인가한 결과, 전류인가 후 82.6초 후에 quench가 발생하였는데, 이 quench는 네 번째 pancake의 전류도입선부 연결부에서와 약간 늦지만 첫 번째 pancake의 전류도입선부 연결부에서 거의 동시에 개시되어 전체로 파급된 것으로 사료되었는데, Ic 가 낮은 첫번째 pancake에서 더 높은 전압 강하가 나타났다. 또한 장착된 heater를 통하여 77 K 에서 8.9 A 의 전류로 운전되고 있는 코일에 146 joule 의 열을 가했을 때 quench 가 일어났는데, 이때 quench 는 방위각 방향의 Bi-2223/Ag 선재를 따라서 보다 Kapton 절연층을 관통하는 선재의 반경방향으로 훨씬 빨리 전파하였다.

In this paper, the design of a IMVA single-phase high temperature superconducting(HTS) power transformer with BSCCO-2223 HTS tapes is presented. The rated voltages of each sides of the transformer are 22.9 ㎸ and 6.6 ㎸, respectively The winding of 1MVA HTS transformer is consisted of double pancake type HTS windings, which have advantages of insulation and distribution of high voltage, and are cooled by subcooled liquid nitrogen of 65K. Four HTS tapes were wound in parallel for the windings of low voltage side and the four parallel conductors are transposed. The design of 1MVA HTS transformer, a shell type core made of laminated silicon steel plate is chosen, and the core is separated with the windings by a cryostat with a room temperature bore. The cryostat made of non-magnetic and non-conducting material and a liquid nitrogen sub-cooling system is designed in order to maintain the coolant's temperature of 65K. For electromagnetic analysis of 1MVA HTS transformer, a finite element method of an axis of symmetry is used. The maximum perpendicular component of magnetic flux density of pancake windings is about 0.15T. And through analyzing the magnetic field distribution, an optimal winding arrangement of 1MVA HTS transformer is obtained.

In a HTS transformer, the perpendicular component of magnetic flux density ($B_r$) applied to HTS tapes of pancake windings becomes larger than that of solenoid winding, thereby decreasing the critical current in the HTS tapes. This paper introduces several methods to reduce $B_r$ applied to the HTS tapes in the transformer with double pancake windings by changing winding arrangements and the relative permeability of flux diverters. We have conducted a winding design for a single-phase 1MVA 22.9kV/6.6kV HTS transformer. We observed a change of $B_r$ due to a variation of gap-length between the high voltage windings and the low voltage windings, reciprocal arrangement and an increase of the number of the high voltage pancake. We also observed a change of Br on the HTS tapes due to variation of the relative permeability of flux diverters placed between the high voltage winding and the low voltage winding. Finally, we have designed a 1MVA 22.9kV/6.6kV HTS transformer winding using suggested methods and calculated transformer parameters by the 3D finite element method.

AC loss is one of the important parameters in (High Temperature Superconducting)HTS AC devices. Among the HTS AC power devices, the transformer is the essential part in the electrical power system. But unfortunately, the transformer is the worst HTS device concerning AC loss because of very large magnetization loss due to high magnetic field applied to the HTS wire. We calculated the magnetization losses in HTS pancake windings for transformer according to the operating temperature. Two kinds of arrangement of HTS pancake windings were adopted for calculation of AC losses of a shell type transformer, and the analysis results were presented and discussed.

The design and the fabrication of a 1 MVA single-phase HTS transformer are presented in this paper, The rated voltages are 22.9 ㎸ for primary and 6.6 ㎸ for secondary, and the rated currents are 44 A and 152 A respectively. The transformer has HTS double pancake type windings. This type of winding has many advantages such as ease of fabrication and maintenance, good distribution of surge voltage and insulation of windings. Single HTS wire was used for primary winding and four HTS parallel wires were used for secondary winding. These windings are arranged reciprocally with the shell type iron core. An FRP cryostat with room temperature bore was fabricated to isolate the iron core from the coolant. The winding will be cooled down to 65 K with sub-cooled liquid nitrogen using a GM-cryocooler. The sub-cooled liquid nitrogen has advantages of good insulation because of no bubbles as well as increased current capacity of HTS wire.

This paper presents conceptual design and 3-D electromagnetic analysis of IMVA transformer with BSCCO-2223 High Tc Superconducting (HTS) tapes. The rated voltages of each sides of the transformer are 22.9 kV and 6.6 kV, and double pancake windings were adopted. High voltage and Low voltage sides were composed of several double pancake windings. Four HTS tapes were wound in parallel for the windings of low voltage side and were transposed in order to distribute the currents equally in each conductor The transformer core was designed as a shell type core made of laminated silicon steel plates and the core is separated with the windings by a cryostat with Fiberglass Reinforced Plastics(FRP). A sub-cooling system using L$N_2$ were designed to maintain the coolant temperature 65K. Finally perpendicular components of magnetic field applied to tapes were calculated 0.247 in the rated operation using 3-D analysis. A real 1MVA HTS transformer will be manufactured in near future based on the design parameters presented in this paper.

In a research and development team of high temperature superconducting (HTS) transformer for power distribution, prior to manufacture a single phase 1MVA 22.9 kV/6.6 kV HTS transformer, a 1MVA transformer for insulation test with windings made of copper tapes with the same size as BSCCO-2223 HTS tape was manufactured. The test transformer was composed of both the copper windings of double pancake type and the shell type core of laminated silicon steel plates. The characteristics tests of the test transformer were performed, such as no load test, load test and short test at 77k using liquid nitrogen. Insulation tests, lightning impulse test, power-frequency voltage test and external insulation test, were accomplished also.

The pulsed field magnetization of the short-circuited soldered double pancake coil made of stabilized commercial high-Tc superconductor (HTS) tape is experimentally studied. The evolution of the shielding current induced by the pulsed field and the trapped field after the pulsed magnetization was measured at 77 K. It is shown that the trapped field in the coil is close to the value reached in the field cooling process and reduces weakly at 5-fold increasing of pulsed field amplitude. The current relaxation at t~2 ms after the pulse is defined by the current sharing between the tape's copper coating and the $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-d}$ layer. In the intermediate time scale (1 s < t < 100 s) the flux creep in HTS layer dominates. At t > 100 s the current's relaxation is defined by the resistance of soldered joint between tapes.
