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 this study, the photolithography process was chosen to reduce the aspect ratio of the cross-section of a high-temperature superconducting (HTS) tape by dividing the superconducting layer of the tape. Reducing the aspect ratio decreases the magnetization losses in the second-generation HTS tapes generated by AC magnetic fields. The HTS tape used in the experiment has a thin silver (Ag) layer of about 2 ㎛ on top of the REBCO superconducting layer and no additional stabilizer layer. A dry film resist (DFR) was laminated on top of the HTS tape by a lamination method for the segmentation. Exposure to a 395 nm UV lamp on a patterned mask cures the DFR. Dipping with a 1% Na₂CO₃ solution was followed to develop the uncured film side and to obtain the required pattern. The silver and superconducting layers of the REBCO films were cleaned with an acid solution after the etching. Finally, the segmented HTS tape was completed by stripping the DFR film with acetone.

YBCO coated conductor called the second-generation superconducting tapes have resistance increase significantly more than BSCCO tapes in terms of the speed or amount when quench occurs, they may have different ranges of application. Such characteristics are thought to get different properties by selection of stabilizing materials in manufacturing superconducting tapes. It is important in selecting superconducting tapes which will be applied to power devices in the future. In this study, one kind of BSCCO tapes and two kinds of YBCO CC with different stabilizing materials and one kind of YBCO CC with non stabilizing materials were used to compare and examine transport characteristics in flux-flow state and quench state with each tape joint of HTS tapes.

High temperature superconductor (HTS) coated conductors has high hysteretic magnetization loss which is an obstacle for the AC applications of coated conductors. We propose a method to reduce the magnetization loss of the coated conductor. It is the mechanical striation method by load variety using office knife. The magnetization loss measured in the mechanical striated YBCO coated conductor without copper layer was compared with the loss generated by perpendicularly exposed external magnetic filed. The reduction in magnetization loss due to the mechanical striation is clearly shown at higher field and was dependent on the striation number. The mechanical striation method was proven to have additional advantages of a low cost and high fabrication process.

Persistent mode HTS pancake coil has been fabricated using a coated conductor by a "wind-and-flip" method. A coated conductor with the length of 1.2 meters was divided at the center along the length. The sliced coated conductor was wound on a pair of bobbins with a diameter of around 4 cm and two pancake coils connected superconductively without a resistive joint were prepared. By flipping one of the pancake coils, the magnetic field generated by each coil is to be aligned to the same direction and generate meaningful magnetic field while the magnetic fields of two spit coils are canceled without flipping. Permanent current was induced by flowing current to the coil immersed in liquid nitrogen pool using a power supply. A magnetic field of 48.8 Gauss was generated when 20 A of current was flowing in the pancake coils. The "Wind and flip" method can be applied for the fabrication of a long solenoid magnet by winding a sliced coated conductor on a cylindrical bobbin. It is also introduced that the construction of multiple sets of pancake (or solenoid) coils is possible by a "wind-and-flip" method using a wide coated conductor.

Recently, it is proposed to make striations on the YBCO coated conductor and to transpose each other as one of the solutions to decrease the perpendicular magnetization loss. For large power application using HTS, the stacked conductor packing the YBCO coated conductors should be used because single conductor is limited in flowing of demanded large current. In this paper, we research the affect of the striation and continuously transposed stacking geometry on the magnetization loss in perpendicularly exposed magnetic field. Several short samples having different number of striation and continuously transposed stack are prepared and tested in perpendicularly exposed magnetic field for the magnetization loss characteristics. The magnetization loss of striated sample was lower than sample without striation. The reduction effect on magnetization loss by the striation is obviously appeared in higher field and lower number of stack and decreased as increasing the transposed stacking number. Also, the reduction effect by transposed stack is obviously appeared in lower field at lower number of striation and isn't appeared at higher striation number and higher magnetic field.

We have studied alternating transport current losses in the vertically stacked high temperature superconducting tapes(HTS) using numerical techniques. In the case of stacked conductors, HTS tapes are exposed to self-field generated by transport current itself and also experienced external magnetic field around adjacent tapes. It is well known that magnetic interactions between neighbored tapes have significant effect on their properties of superconducting tapes such as current distribution, AC loss, and critical current. In this paper, we investigated the transport current losses in stacked conductors consisting of a few of the HTS tapes using numerical analysis. Current distributions are calculated in HTS tape cross-section taking account of magnetic field dependencies, which are represented superconducting nonlinear properties. Dissipated losses in tape and stacked conductors were integrated with current distribution and electric field intensity in the whole conductor region. Finally estimated results were discussed and verified through the analytical theory.

In this study, superconducting coil arrangements and cryostat concept design were conducted for the development of 13.2kV/630A bifilar winding type high temperature superconducting(HTS) fault current limiter(FCL) with YBCO coated conductor(CC) wire. The coil consists of several layers with unique non-inductive solenoid winding method. Six types of HTS coil arrangements were investigated for the optimal insulation design of HTS FCL. And, conceptual design of cryostat was conducted for the decrement of thermal invasion and the prevention of low voltage insulation breakdown in the LHe which is used as pressurization gas in sub-cooling condition of liquid nitrogen(LN2). As the results, it was found that the modified suspended type cryostat with horizontal coil arrangement is beneficial to the insulation design of 13.2kV level bifilar winding type HTS FCL.

A high gradient magnetic (HGM) separator prototype with the $2^{nd}$ generation high temperature superconducting (2G HTS) magnetic system operated in sub-cooled nitrogen is presently under development at NRC "Kurchatov Institute" (Moscow, Russia). The main goal of the project is an attempt to shift away from the complicated liquid helium cryostats towards simple cryocooler-based nitrogen cryogenics as much more convenient for HGM separators industrial applications. Using of commercial HTS tapes allows to get a sufficient level of magnetic fields and extraction forces with low energy consumption. The expected operational parameters of the device are 1.2-1.5 T in the empty operational gap and up to 3 T on the ferromagnetic filters. In this paper we briefly describe the design of the HTS rotary separator prototype with the horizontally oriented rotor axis and propose different types of ferromagnetic filters intended for weakly magnetic ores enrichment.
