Bi-2223 HTS current leads for a superconducting magnetic energy storage(SMES) magnet were designed and manufactured. The HTS leads composed of Bi-2223/AgAu tapes and stainless steel former were connected to conventional vapor-cooled copper leads. The heat input to the liquid helium through the HTS lead was 0.39 W/lead when the warm end part's temperature is 65 K. And, the critical current of the HTS leads was about 1.6 kA when the warm end part's temperature is 80 K. The measured those values are well consistent with computed values.

It has been well known that a toroid is the inevitable shape for a high temperature superconducting (HTS) coil as a component of a large scale superconducting magnetic energy storage system (SMES) because it is the best option to minimize a magnetic field intensity applied perpendicularly to the HTS wires. Even though a perfect toroid coil does not have a perpendicular magnetic field, for a practical toroid coil composed of many HTS pancake coils, some type of perpendicular magnetic field cannot be avoided, which is a major cause of degradation of the HTS wires. In order to suggest an optimum design solution for an HTS SMES system, we need an accurate, fast, and effective calculation for the magnetic field, mechanical stresses, and stored energy. As a calculation method for these criteria, a numerical calculation such as an finite element method (FEM) has usually been adopted. However, a 3-dimensional FEM can involve complicated calculation and can be relatively time consuming, which leads to very inefficient iterations for an optimal design process. In this paper, we suggested an intuitive and effective way to determine the maximum magnetic field intensity in the HTS coil by using an analytic and statistical calculation method. We were able to achieve a remarkable reduction of the calculation time by using this method. The calculation results using this method for sample model coils were compared with those obtained by conventional numerical method to verify the accuracy and availability of this proposed method. After the successful substitution of this calculation method for the proposed design program, a similar method of determining the maximum mechanical stress in the HTS coil will also be studied as a future work.

The design of superconducting magnets for a 600 kJ SEMS was discussed. The basic constraint conditions in the design of a 600 kJ SMES magnet were V-I loss(<1 W), inductance of magnet(<24 H), the number of Double Pancake Coils(DPC about 10), the number of turns of DPC(<300), outer diameter of DPC(close to 800 mm) and total length of HTS wire in a DPC(<500 m). As a result of optimum design, we obtained design parameters of the 600 kJ SMES magnet with two operating currents, 360 A and 370 A, which are in the limited conditions without V-I loss. V-I loss of each operating current was calculated with design parameters and V-I characteristic of the HTS wire. As a result of calculations, V-I losses with operating currents of 360 A and 370 A were 0.6 W and 1.86 W, respectively. Even though all design parameters of the SMES magnet in case of operating current of 360 A were in the restricted conditions, V-I loss of SMES magnet showed a tendency to generate at local DPCs, which are located on the top and the bottom of the SMES magnet more than that of the other DPCs.

In superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) systems, the current leads are usually divided into two parts. Normal metals like brass or copper are often used in the first part from the room temperature to the 1st stage of the cryocooler. Their dimensions were decided to minimize the conduction heat penetration and Ohm's heat generation. The second part down to the cryogenic coil is made of high temperature superconductor (HTS). HTS current leads can reduce the conductive heat penetration because they have poor thermal conductivity and generate no Ohm's heat generation. The brass current lead and the HTS current lead were designed and fabricated for application to the 10kJ class SMES system. The HTS current lead is 300A class. The HTS current lead was stacked with 2 HTS layers using the $Bi_2Sr_2Ca_2Cu_3O_x$ (BSCCO)/Ag. In this paper, we introduce the design procedure of the current leads and discuss the test results of the current leads.

1.5 kA class HTS current leads for a SMES magnet, which are connected to a conventional vapor cooled copper leads, were designed. The HTS leads are composed of Bi-2223/Ag-Au tapes and a stainless stell tube. The estimated critical current of the lead is about 1.6 kA at 77.3 K and in a self magnetic field, and the heat input to the liquid helium from the cold end of the 35 cm lead is 0.4 W/lead. It has been made clear that the heat input decreases with increase of the lead length and decrease of the warm end temperature and Ag-Au/SC ratio.

Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) system is one of the key technologies to overcome the voltage sag, swell, interruption and frequency fluctuation by fast response speed of current charge and discharge. In order to evaluate the characteristics of over mega joule class grid connected High Temperature Superconducting (HTS) SMES system, the authors proposed an algorithm by which the SMES coil could be connected to the Real Time Digital Simulator (RTDS). Using the proposed algorithm, users can perform the simulation of voltage sag and frequency stabilization with a real SMES coil in real time and easily change the capacity of SMES system as much as they need. To demonstrate the algorithm, real charge and discharge circuit and active load were manufactured and experimented. The results show that the current from real system was well amplified and applied to the current source of simulation circuit in real time.

In order to cool the SMES coil to the operating temperature, conduction cooling is generally used. However, it often consumes a large amount of electric power because of it's continuous cryocooler operation. This can also lead to poor thermal stability and serious protection problems of the system. Solid nitrogen (SN2) can counter those disadvantages in the conduction cooling system because it has a large heat capacity. Particularly, a large amount of enthalpy with a minimal weight to the cold body of SN2 makes a compact and portable system by increase a recooling to recooling time period (RRTP) value. A conceptual design of the proto-type SN2 cooling system for a portable HTS superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) system will be introduced in this paper.

대용량 초전도 에너지저장장치(Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage, SMES)용 초전도 권선을 제작하기 위해서는 높은 자장특성을 가고 있는 2세대 고온초전도 (2nd Generation High-Temperature Superconductor, 2G HTS) 선재를 사용하는 것이 효율적이다. 자기에너지 저장 밀도를 높이기 위해서는 권선에 높은 전류밀도를 인가해야 하는데, 도체의 평면에 수직 방향으로 인가되는 자속밀도가 커지면 임계전류가 작아지는 2세대 HTS 선재의 특성상 토로이드 형태의 권선을 구성하는 것이 일반적이다. 이러한 고온초전도 권선을 설계하기 위해서는 권선 특성의 정확한 해석이 필요한데 이를 위해 유한요소법을 사용한 프로그램을 이용하여 해석이 가능하나 토로이드 형태의 권선은 대칭성의 문제로 3차원 해석을 해야만 하며, 이는 모델링에 많은 어려움과 높은 컴퓨터 사양, 그리고 매우 긴 계산 소요시간이 필요함을 의미한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 분석적이고 통계적으로 고온 초전도 코일에서 작용하는 최대 수직자장과 저장된 에너지를 결정하는데 이해하기 쉽고 효율적으로 계산하는 방법을 제시했다. 이 방법은 현저한 시간단축과 효율적인 설계를 할 수 있는 새로운 계산 방법으로 기존의 유한요소법에 의해 소요되는 계산 시간에 비해 1/1000정도로 계산시간 단축을 할 수 있었다.
